This chapter observes the role of digital infrastructureInfrastructure (DI) in social sustainabilitySustainability (SS) and vice-versa in selected 63 countries. It develops digital infrastructureInfrastructure index (DII) and social sustainabilitySustainability index (SSI) for these countries using a descriptive statistical analysis. The DII and SSI are the composite indexes of the most suitable variables that help to promote DI and SS, respectively. Thus, it explains the measurement of SS and DI in the theoretical literature. Accordingly, the explanation of these countries in DI and SS are explained. Thereupon, it formulates log-linear regression models to detect the causal association of SS and DI during 2010–2022. It also describes the various dimensions of SS and DI that are conducive to increasing sustainable developmentSustainable development and digitalization. The interconnection of SS with DI is also explained in detail. It also infers that SS and DI are essential to achieve SDGsSDGs. It emphasizes that global countries cannot achieve sustainable developmentSustainable development without SS, and creating appropriate DI. The regression results imply that DI is supportive to increase SS, and SS also enhances DI. FDI, scientific research articles, gross domestic product, GDP per person employed, and gross capital formation are found to be favorable indicators for promoting DI and SS. Population growth and population density produce a negative impact on DI and SS. It comes with certain policy proposals for improving SS and DI in these countries. It recommends an authentic research direction to conduct more research in the area of SS and digitalization, and their enhancing factors in the global countries.

摘要

This chapter observes the role of digital infrastructureInfrastructure (DI) in social sustainabilitySustainability (SS) and vice-versa in selected 63 countries. It develops digital infrastructureInfrastructure index (DII) and social sustainabilitySustainability index (SSI) for these countries using a descriptive statistical analysis. The DII and SSI are the composite indexes of the most suitable variables that help to promote DI and SS, respectively. Thus, it explains the measurement of SS and DI in the theoretical literature. Accordingly, the explanation of these countries in DI and SS are explained. Thereupon, it formulates log-linear regression models to detect the causal association of SS and DI during 2010–2022. It also describes the various dimensions of SS and DI that are conducive to increasing sustainable developmentSustainable development and digitalization. The interconnection of SS with DI is also explained in detail. It also infers that SS and DI are essential to achieve SDGsSDGs. It emphasizes that global countries cannot achieve sustainable developmentSustainable development without SS, and creating appropriate DI. The regression results imply that DI is supportive to increase SS, and SS also enhances DI. FDI, scientific research articles, gross domestic product, GDP per person employed, and gross capital formation are found to be favorable indicators for promoting DI and SS. Population growth and population density produce a negative impact on DI and SS. It comes with certain policy proposals for improving SS and DI in these countries. It recommends an authentic research direction to conduct more research in the area of SS and digitalization, and their enhancing factors in the global countries.
