Abstract (2. Language):
This study examines the relations and interactions between economic growth and education
variables in Turkey over the period 1980-1997. In this context, based on the hypothesis that
the basic educational institutions in the formal education system are the main mechanisms to
improve human competences, the effects of the variables related to education in terms of
human capital on economic growth are investigated. In the conducted analyses, it is also tried
to determine whether there is any long-term relations and causality between the variables
concerned.-The empirical results shows that the increase in the enrollment rate in the primary
education causes an increase in economic growth and, in turn, the increase in economic
growth causes an increase in the enrollment rate of the high school education. In addition, it is
determined that the increase in the enrollment rate in the higher education is a result of the
increase in the enrollment rate of the high school education and an increase in the expenditure
on education causes an increase in the enrollment rate of the high school education.
