Abstract

The AEC aims to make ASEAN as a single market and production base, where the flow of goods, services, investment, and skilled labor, as well as the flow of capital, can move freely. The purpose is to ensure all countries can get benefit from free trade with equitable economic development, reduced poverty, and socio-economic diversity. However, it is hard to believe that this goal could have to be achieved without equality in the quality of human resources, investment, price stability, and each ASEAN country's openness. This paper examines the relationship between the quality of human resources and economic openness as a factor of ASEAN's economic growth. The model used is the panel data between 2004 and 2018 in 5 ASEAN countries. The results of the fixed effect model show that both human development and FDI are positively significant in explaining the economic growth while inflation and trade openness are not significant. Therefore, it is necessary for the ASEAN countries to enhance the skill of human resources and gain more investment on human capital to prosper the countries.
