SDGs and Structural Vulnerabilities: The Case of BIMSTEC Countries
Article
Full-text available
  • Feb 2022
This paper studies the case of the countries of BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) to investigate if progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) plays an instrumental role in addressing structural vulnerabilities. It finds that it does. Despite improvements in certain SDGs such as increasing per-capita income levels, improving healthcare, and providing universal education-other socioeconomic factors affect the resilience of these economies in the face of structural vulnerabilities: among them, inequality, unemployment, and natural resource dependence. At the same time, the informal economy plays a crucial role by cushioning the impact of shocks on the most vulnerable populations. The paper highlights the interlinkages between these factors and calls for more focused analyses and monitoring of economic resilience across individual countries to ensure the sustainability of growth.
