Data_Sheet_2_Sustainable Development of African Countries: Minding Public Life, Education, and Welfare.pdf

Sustainable development (SD) has increasingly played a key background role in government policymaking across the world, especially for the least developed countries in Africa. Therefore, the purpose of our research is to study the SD of African countries in public life, education, and welfare, and then to help policy makers better monitor the status of sustainable development and formulate development policies in these aspects. We firstly propose a new method to assess the SD in public life, education, and welfare. Then we assess the SD status in 51 African countries as well as other countries in the world. After that, we also make a comparison between African countries and the countries in other continents.

可持续发展（SD）在全球范围内的政府政策制定中日益扮演着至关重要的背景角色，尤其是在非洲的最不发达国家。鉴于此，本研究旨在探讨非洲国家在公共生活、教育及社会福利领域的可持续发展状况，进而协助政策制定者更有效地监测可持续发展状况，并在此等方面制定发展政策。本研究首先提出一种新的评估公共生活、教育及社会福利领域可持续发展状况的方法。随后，我们对包括51个非洲国家在内的世界各国进行了可持续发展状况的评估。继而对非洲国家与其他大洲的国家进行了比较分析。
