Abstract
Indonesia is predicted to experience a demographic bonus period in 2030. For Indonesia to get the maximum benefit from this demographic bonus, the availability of abundant productive-age human resources must be balanced by improving the quality of education and skills. Educated and competitive human resources need to be developed in terms of the number and quality of competitiveness in supporting sustainable growth. In this research, the authors want to see the role of universities in influencing economic growth. The role of universities can be measured by the number of universities, college enrolment rate, and the Human Development Index (HDI). The analysis used in this study is the multiple linear regression analysis. The research data used are panel data from 34 provinces in Indonesia with the studied year of 2015 - 2018. The result shows that the role of universities in Indonesia is not yet optimal in supporting Indonesia’s economic growth in terms of the number of universities and college enrolment rate.
