Abstract
The paper focuses on evaluation of progress of European and neighbouring countries in sustainable development using the system of environmental, social and economic indicators. The task of the research is to identify the problem (deficit) points of countries from the sustainable development point of view. The system of indices which characterize deficit in different sustainable development dimensions has been evaluated. The ranking of European and some neighbouring countries on sustainability problems level has been developed. The counties under consideration have been classified on significance and nature of their sustainable development problems. It is shown that the level of sustainable development is not related with the level of economic development, some of the most economically developed European countries have deep sustainability problems and, in contrast, it is possible to reach good progress toward sustainable development despite economic difficulties.
Highlights
Introduction methodology of poverty measurement in evaluation of sustainable development deficits of European and Sustainable development is defined as the intersection of neighbouring countries
Multivariate statistical treatment of the national socio-economic and environmental data principal components analysis (PCA) method is applied for final selection of indicators (Patil & Taillie 2004).The strong positive correlation (Pearson criterion, r > 0.75) was found between all tested indicators in EU aggregates which are applied as a base of comparison for poverty evaluation
In this paper we have proposed a method of identification of weaknesses of countries in their progress toward sustainability which is based on the concept of sustainability deficits and on multidimensional evaluation of sustainability deficits
Summary
Introduction methodology of poverty measurement in evaluation of sustainable development deficits of European and Sustainable development is defined as the intersection of neighbouring countries.
