Social Aspects of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were implemented by United Nations in 2015 form a very huge international agenda of changing societies by 2030. Although much had been reached particularly in the area of economics and the environmental factors; the social side as highlighted in the matters of poverty eradication, good education, health and wellbeing, gender equality, reduction of inequalities and inclusion, all tend to work out better on platform of providing equal sustainable development. The given paper will focus on the concepts of SDGs, and that is why social underpinning to the latter is required to specify how the objectives will be able to assist in the improvement of human well-being and social motivation. Depending on the systematic review and the thematic analysis of the interdisciplinary literature, the paper develops the key social issues related in the framework of SDG and evaluates the problem and opportunities in actualization of the social agenda. The findings in this regard indicate that the social sustainability is in the middle of the achievement of SDGs and that there should be cohesive policies in place to handle inequality, inclusion and equitable access to important services. The paper follows a conclusion at the end and recommends the importance of emphasizing more on social aspects in countries and international policies on development.
