This research analyzes the relationship between Human Capital and Economic Growth for Ecuador during the period 2007-2016, from a quantitative approach of correlation type. Human Capital was measured by means of the Economically Active Population with Employment, while Economic Growth was measured through the Gross Domestic Product per capita. It was obtained as a result, after a descriptive analysis, that the growth of the Economically Active Population with Employment for the period is marked by the growth of the Economically Active Population with Employment with secondary education. On the other hand, through the calculation of the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, it was determined that the Economically Active Population with Employment with higher education is the one that has a bigger direct relationship with the Economic Growth of the country; the correlation was 90%, evidencing in this way the need of more investment in Higher Education.
