Abstract: Human capital is one of the most strategic inputs for the expansion of the organization`s growth. In view of this, the study critically appraised the submission of various scholars regarding the contributions of human capital development to SMEs growth over the time. Consequently, studies regarding the nexus between human capital development and SMEs growth are ongoing currently. Based on the perspectives of various studies it could be submitted that many of these studies are in support of the argument that human capital development has advanced the growth of SMEs significantly in the recent times. The growth of SMEs has been in terms of the production of novel goods, productivity, better profit margins, profitability, output significance and capital base. Therefore, this study recommends that the policymakers, the SMEs owners, shareholders, and strategic managers should place maximum priority to development of their human resources whenever they have a plan to expand the growth of their organization.
