The Socio-Economic Pillar of the Sustainable Development Goals

The recent coronavirus pandemic, also known as the COVID-19 pandemic, has proved that the main economic models followed globally are fragile and shown how vulnerable the societies are. This lack of resilience proves that development is a complex process built upon synergies and trade-offs between factors such as good health, human capital, and environmental prosperity. These interconnections are expressed through the concept of sustainable development, which is depicted through the sustainable development goals. In this paper, the connections between society, economy, and the SDGs are examined, forming the socio-economic pillar of the SDGs.
