description	In this project paper to see the relationship between poverty and population growth in Kedah Darul Aman State– Malaysia. Afterward to analyst the real condition in this state uses PEST analysis and SWOT analysis. Finally, to know about what human capital development program will be done in Kedah Darul Aman State. In the State of Kedah Darul Aman when we look at data from the year 2006–2010 the population increased from year to year. Population increase followed by an increase in the number of poor people. Changes in population growth affect the rate of poverty in the State of Kedah Darul Aman, but not significantly because of many other factors that affect the level of poverty. PEST analysis consists of "Political, Economic, Social, and Technological analysis" and describes a framework of macro-environmental factors used in environmental scanning in Kedah Darul Aman State. The Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis is based on the logic that maximizes Strengths and Opportunities, but at the same time can minimize Weaknesses and Threat. There are eight strategic initiatives to human capital development in the State Kedah Darul Aman: (a) enhance availability of quality education in the state, (b) enhance and expand skills centre to develop lower skilled worker, (c) to promote R and D in the State to inculcate innovative mindset, (d) identify and grow Coe to nurture talent base, (e) encourage individual to take up lifelong learning, (f) facilitate of tripartite engagements, (g) leveraging on graduates tracer study to tighten the link between educations and job market, and (h) conduct road–show, exhibitions, seminars, talks in the State to encourage more knowledge workers.
