Résumé
La littérature économique depuis l’avènement de l’économie moderne a été plutôt préoccupée par la question de la croissance économique. La croissance économique a été aussi perçue comme un moyen pour mettre en place les conditions du développement économique. Les modèles de croissance économique les plus connues tels que ceux de Lewis, Rostow, Harrod-Domar, Solow et Romer font l’objet de discussions. Les discussions s’appliquent par le contexte à la problématique de la croissance et du développement en Afrique. On fait valoir que l’investissement significatif dans le capital humain est une condition indispensable pour la croissance et le développement transformationnel de l’Afrique. Il a été prouvé que les pays qui investissent beaucoup dans le capital humain pour produire une population hautement instruite en récoltent généralement les fruits en termes de PIB élevé par habitant, indépendamment du niveau de leur production technologique et industrielle. Des pays comme la Nouvelle Zélande, l’Islande et le Danemark en sont de parfaites illustrations. Les modèles de développement de l’Afrique comme le Plan d’action de Lagos pour ce qui concerne le continent tout entier font l’objet de discussions dans le contexte des obstacles à ces progrès.
