Economic growth can be used as a measure of development that reflects the welfare of society in a country. The source of economic growth used in this study uses a production factors approach, namely capital, human resources, and technology. Human resources make the biggest contribution compared to capital production factors and technology towards Indonesia's economic growth. This study aims to determine the magnitude of the contribution of human resources to Indonesia's economic growth. To measure the magnitude of the contribution of each production factor to Indonesia's economic growth, the Neo Classical economic growth model was used as proposed by Abramovit and R.M. Solow using the Cobb Douglas production function that has been changed in a multiple regression equation: Log Yy = log a + α log C + β log L. The type of data used is secondary data in the time seies regarding the devolopment of the laborforce, investment namely domestict and foreign investment, and gross domestict product, from 2004-2016. The data used in this research is data on the development laborforce of Indonesian originating from world bank, domestic investment and planting foreign capital comes from the world bank and the finance ministry of the Republic of Indonesia, Gross Domestic Product sourced from the world bank. To the determine the magnitude of the influence of the production fctors of human resource and capital on Indonesia economic growth, it was processed using SPSS.20 program. Further more, to measure the contribution of  each production factor to Indonesia economic growth, the Alfian Lains formula was used with the Dession method as follows: Cr Xi = . The results of this study indicate that in Indonesia there is a strong influence between the factors of human resources and capital on GDP, while the factors of technology production are negative. Based on the Neo Classical flow, investment and human resource factors make a biggest contribution to Indonesia's economic growth, while the contribution of technological progress is low. Technological developments in Indonesia still lag behind compared to India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. The factor of human resource production provides the biggest contribution to Indonesia's economic growth. However, human resource in Indonesia is dominated by an unskilled human resource category of 73.12 percent, while the remaining 26.88 percent is classified as skilled human resources, it causes GDP of Indonesia is low. The results of the study show that the factors of production of human resources and capital have a positive influence on Indonesia's economic growth of 96.30 percent. The value of labor elasticity to GDP is 7.755, which means that if there is an increase in energy productivity by 10 percent, then economic growth will increase by 77.55 percent. For capital production factors, with an elasticity value of 0.041, there is only economic growth of 4.10 percent, if there is an increase in capital productivity by 10 percent. Whereas, for the factor of technology production is the result of a reduction between national income and the factor of labor production after being added to capital which is equal to 1.64 percent. Therefore, it is recommended that the Indonesian government must improve the quality of human resources through improvements in the education sector.
