Economic Growth through Determinants of Technical and Vocational Education and Training in Pakistan: Mediating Role of Human Resource Development

Gaining insights from human capital theory, this study has examined the effect of determinants of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) on economic growth through the mediating role of human resource development (HRD). For data collection, questionnaires were administered to students of various technical education institutions in the five districts of Baluchistan, Pakistan. The statistical results obtained through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) for multivariate analysis support the entire hypotheses. The study proposes some suggestions to researchers and policymakers who are interested in determining the impact of TVET on economic growth through social inclusion indicators such as HRD.
