Abstract

This research was concerned with revealing the level that Yemen has achieved in order to reach sustainable social development, and it was divided into three sections: the first dealt with the concept of sustainable development and its dimensions, while the second dealt with the application of indicators of sustainable social development in Yemen, as groups of population and educational indicators were used and health, in addition to indicators of poverty and the standard of living. The third topic was limited to results and recommendations.
   The research reached an important fact, which is that the conditions in Yemen are improving with time, but this improvement is proceeding very slowly, and all the measures used in the research revealed that the Yemeni society lives in a terrible backwardness in all aspects of life, as Yemen came in the lowest ranks among the countries of the world In education, health, income, and spending, while it occupied advanced positions among these countries in terms of fertility, population growth, mortality, poverty, illiteracy, and the spread of corruption. There is no doubt that Yemen's backwardness is a reflection of that.
