Abstract
Capital expenditure is government expenditure for development activities such as infrastructure development, basic facilities, and other infrastructure. In economic theories, it is stated that government spending is one of keys to economic growth. Economic growth is an indicator that a country/region experiences a development. In turn, continuous and sustainable economic growth will improve the welfare of the community. This study used panel data related to the variables studied from 34 provinces in the 2012-2016 periods. Multiple regression analysis is used to test and analyse the effect of growth and capital expenditure on the human development index. From the results of this study it can be concluded that government capital expenditure and economic growth together influence the welfare of the community. But partially, only capital expenditure has a significant positive effect on people's welfare, while economic growth shows no influence.
