Résumé
Depuis l’avènement de l’économie moderne, la littérature économique s’est beaucoup préoccupée de la question de la croissance économique. La croissance économique est également comprise comme établissant les conditions du développement économique. Les modèles de croissance économique les plus connus, tels que ceux de Lewis Rostow, Harrod-Domar, Solow et Romer, sont abordés. Les discussions s’appliquent contextuellement à la problématique de la croissance et du développement en Afrique. Il a été avancé que de grands investissements dans le capital humain étaient une condition indispensable à la croissance et au développement transformationnel de l’Afrique. Il est souligné que les pays qui investissent dans le capital humain produisent des populations hautement éduquées et en tirent généralement des avantages en termes de PIB élevé par habitant, quel que soit le niveau de leur production technologique et industrielle. Des pays comme la Nouvelle-Zélande, l'Islande et le Danemark en apportent la preuve. Les modèles de développement de l'Afrique, tels que le Plan continental d'action dit de Lagos, sont examinés dans le contexte d’actuels obstacles à de tels progrès.
