Abstract

This study focuses on economic growth and explains the interaction mechanism of economic agents and their relations. This paper highlights human capital and its social aspects. It also shows some critical aspect in the process of economic growth through interaction of socio- economic factors, which are considered as investment for creation of human capital. This investment includes cost of time and effort, which actually build up social fabric and human knowledge and health capital, which in turn creates economic growth. Root of economic growth actually depends on human capital under social relations.
