dc.description.abstract |
This study aimed at examining, from an empirical point of view, some of the
indicators affecting social development of Sudan over the period (1980-2009).
Time-series data on the variables of interest were collected from various sources
namely, Federal Ministry of Education, Federal Ministry of Health, Federal
Ministry of Finance and National Economy and Central Bureau of Statistics in
Sudan. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) testing procedure was applied into three
stages to examine the health index, the education index and the social
development index functions. Regarding the health index, the results obtained
reveal that real GDP per capita (Re) impacts positively on health index in Sudan
with estimated coefficient (elasticity) significant at 1% level, whereas under-five
mortality rate (M) impacts significantly at 1% level in reducing health index.
Public expenditure on health is only significant at 10% in enhancing health status
in the country. The results obtained from the estimated education index provide
strong evidence in favor of real GDP per capita (Re) and education infrastructure,
which are found to be significant at 1% level in enhancing the level of the index.
Finally, the results of social development index signify that, real GDP per capita
(Re), social services expenditure (EE3) and education infrastructure (Y1) impacts
significantly at 1% level, while the health physical infrastructure (HPI) impact
significantly at 5% level on enhancing social development index. The study
recommends that the macroeconomic policies should give more priorities to the
policies that aim at creating jobs through utilizing microfinance projects,
attracting more foreign direct investment and encouraging income generations
activities, to increase the real GDP per capita. Policy makers in Sudan should
adopt a comprehensive strategy to develop the policies that promote primary
health care to those new born, sanitation, safe drinking water, neutrinos of
neonatal, infants and their mothers to decrease mortality rates. The government
should also pay more attention teachers training, planning, monitoring,
assessment and correct articulation of educational policies. Finally, social
development policies and programs in Sudan should be designed and
implemented by local government institutions to build human development
capacities and capabilities at local levels. |
