The research objectives aim at a broad analysis of the influence of the digitalization factor on the formation and development of human capital in developing looking at the relationship between digitalisation and skill development in the context of 14 developing countries. We have used the Kendall’s correlation coefficient (tau-b) to test the association of the variables relating to EDI ranking and Human Capital Development in other to analyse the relationship between variables.

In any case if the Human Capital of the fourteen (14) developing countries are reached the Electronic Data Interchange ranking will still decrease. The article is concluded with recommendation that developing countries should invest in human capital especially in digital skills and create the atmosphere required for digital access to their citizen in a bid to adopt digital transformation whilst building the human capital development of the people.
