Abstract :The purpose of this study is to examine the social dimensions of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to assess their impact on welfare, equality, and social inclusion at global and regional levels. Employing a combination of descriptive and comparative analysis, the study integrates key economic frameworks—namely the extended Solow–Swan model and the Human Development–Economic Nexus Model—to explain the interaction between social and economic variables within the SDG framework. The analysis is based on 2022–2023 data obtained from major international institutions, including the United Nations, World Bank, World Health Organization, UNESCO, FAO, International Energy Agency, and International Labour Organization. Progress is evaluated using widely recognized indicators such as the Human Development Index (HDI), Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), and Gender Inequality Index (GII). The findings indicate that sustainable growth depends not only on physical capital accumulation but also on sustained investments in human and social capital, which enhance productivity, resilience, and equity. The study contributes to policy discussions by offering a quantitative basis for social investment strategies and inclusive economic planning.Keywords : Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Amaçları (SKA’lar), sosyal gelişme, ekonomik modelleme, insanî sermaye, eşitsizlik, kapsayıcı büyüme Introduction
