Abstract Although the province of West Java has a relatively high GRDP, it has not fully paid attention to the development of human resources. This is indicated by the low average length of schooling in each district/city. There are still nineteen districts/cities in the province of West Java that have an average length of schooling under 9 years. Both of these, both GRDP and school averages, are assumed to have implications for the HDI. To determine the interrelationship between these variables, a study was conducted in West Java. The study was conducted to determine the effect of per capita GRDP level and school length average number on the Human Development Index. To achieve this goal, an analysis of GRDP and HDI is used with the equations of Egbulonu and Nwokoro. The results GRDP =-2.825150 + 0.369888AGRO + 0.917197IND + 0.079170MYS and. HDI =-101.0269 + 9.76691PDRB + 0.728485MYS These results show a of-101.0269, which means that if the independent variable GDP per capita and the average length of school time (MYS) is zero, the dependent variable Human Development Index (HDI) will be negative-101.0269. This means that without the GRDP per capita (community income) and the average length of school in the community, human development will not be possible. Furthermore, the PDRB coeffcient is 9.766914, which means that if there is a change in GDP per capita increase of 1% (assuming other variables are constant), the Human Development Index (HDI) fgure will increase by 9, 766914 index points.
