Time series data is employed ranges from 1973-2013. The properties of time series data are inspected with the ADF test whilst PP test is employed for the robustness of unit root results. Mixed order of integration of data compels us to make use of ARDL technique for the estimation. Similarly, one unit change in health expenditures lead to reduce 0.251 units of poverty and one unit change in infant mortality cause to reduce poverty by 0.04 units. In last, one unit increase in literacy rate changes 1.03 units in poverty and one unit change in higher education results in 0.003 unit's change in poverty.

Despite different attitudes, Most economists stressed on the importance of human capital ,and  its positive impact on the economic development process and the effectiveness of the physical production elements, these elements may not have that functionality without the human element. Thus, the human capital within education cycle education in capital formation is the most productive elements that can contribute to economic development.  Economic growth theories suggest that technical progress increases in the long term and technical progress rapidly when a better educated workforce, hence the human capital information helps in technical progress and is a source of sustainable development. Moreover, current study aims to identify the human capital and the importance of investing in education, and how to build human capital formation by investing in people through education in Kurdistan region-Iraq. Besides, verify the hypothesis which suggests that increased spending in education contributes to the development of human capital being provides the basis for individual breakthrough by developing his skills and creativity to achieve economic and social development goals, and that expenditure on education in Kurdistan-Iraq achieved a marked quantitative change but did not play its role in developing human capital.

What are the mission and shape, structure and culture, purposes and ambitions of the university and college to be? What is it to be a university and college now—what are they seen ‘to be for’? What might change by 2050? Is it a matter of steady evolution, careful adaptation, gentle re-invention? Or a future of instability and disruptive innovation, radical change, absolute transformation? ‘Futures for the university and college’ considers these questions and suggests that—given the university and college’s role in human capital formation, and the sifting and signalling processes, both hard to replicate without a national higher education structure—it has a relatively assured future.
