Some foreign studies showed that the structure of human capital was a new factor to affect the ecoomy growth. It was great related to the ecomony growth. In the internal documents, many scholars have discussed the positive relation between human capital and ecomomic growth. However, few people studied the effect of structure of human capital on ecomonic growth,and learners have not pay much attention to this. Based on the situation, this paper mainly discusses the relationship betwteen human capital inequality and economic growth of several regions and point out the function of human capital inequality on economic growth.Firstly, basing on the income Gini coefficient, draw the education Lorrenz curve, and obtain the formula of human capital gini coefficient. And use this to calculate the huamn capital gini coefficient of 31 provinces from 2001 to 2004. According to the region data, the huamn capital gini coefficient of east region is lower than the middle region, the middle region is lower than the west region, human capital inequality is gradually magnified from east to west. According to the structure of the practitioners'ducation attainment in each region, the practitioners who have less than senior high school educational level is quite different from each region, the difference between west region and the other two region is gradually magnified alonging wih the debasing of the educational level, and most practitioners in west region have just junior high school educational level. But in every province the huamn capital gini coefficient descend according to the time order. It show that human capital inequality is deflating, the structure of human capital in each region is getting more similar.Secondly, we use the outcome of human capital gini coefficent, according to the fixed assets investment, labour force and the structure of industry to construct a countrywide and region economy growth model. The result shows: the function of human capital inequality on economic growth is different in each region. In the countrywide economy growth model, the function of human capital inequality on economic growth is positive, and the function of human capital inequality in east region is greater than the countrywide average level. However, the function of human capital inequality on economic growth in middle and west region is negative. At last, according to the conclusion, we provides some suggestions to make the human capital harmoniously develop. The government keep on investing on human capital, promote the labour force transforming to the human capital. at the same time, the emphasize particularly on human capital should be different in different region. Increase the investing on the country human capital in weat and midlle region. Ensure compulsory education and vocational education. Increase the accumulation of the country human capital. Optimize the structure of the human capital, boost ing the the human capital harmoniously develop. Ameliorate mechanism of human capital market.
