Special Issue on Transformative Technologies for Sustainable Socio-Economic Development

Special Issue

"Transformative Technologies for Sustainable Socio-Economic Development"

Socio-economic development is a multidisciplinary research area, covers a broad range of the spectrum, which includes healthcare, education, urban development, women’s growth, infrastructure development, enterprise planning, supply chain management, and many more. In general, socio-economic development is the process of enhancing the better quality of life to every individual of the society. So that every citizen across the country can reach their full potential, and they collectively perform to transfer a country from the under-developed and developing state into a developed nation. For decades, achieving sustainable socio-economic development across the nations has been a challenging process as they are subject to numerous life-threatening concerns that dynamically fluctuate their socio-economic growth. Population and employment are the two major factors that significantly influence the growth of the economy both from the present as well as the future perspective. Environmental and natural phenomenons such as flood, famine, pandemics, etc. are some of the other concerns, which inhibits the growth of the economy and adversely affect the new normal rates under various circumstances.  Hence, a clear understanding of these factors is crucially important.

Thereby enhancing the positive impacts and mitigating the negative influences over the society from the perspective mentioned above has become inevitable. The use of transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, etc. forms the most ideal solution in this aspect. This necessity is because of the reason that it can assist in timely social, political, and economic risk analysis with appropriate solutions. It can also assist in rural and urban development with various community-driven development analysis and strategical measures. Further, through the use of transformative technologies, every nation has the opportunity to grow, develop its citizens, and make them contribute to the development of the economy in a sustainable way irrespective of the barriers.  Hence, exploring more in this context has become a vital part of today’s scenario. Against this background, this special issue aims to call for novel and innovative research ideas and methodologies on transformative technologies for sustainable socio-economic development.

 

The topics of interest for the special issue include, but not limited to the following:

  • Recent trends in disruptive technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence for socio-economic development
  • Sustainable socio-economic development in rural areas with disruptive technologies
  • Innovations in disruptive technologies to transfer a low-income economy into a high-income economy
  • Advances in technology forecasting for sustainable socio-economic development
  • Role of disruptive technologies in employment and demographics analysis
  • Disruptive technologies for emerging economies: manifestations, drivers, and implications
  • Green strategies with disruptive technologies for sustainable socio-economic development in low-income and high-income economy
  • Gender development with disruptive technologies and its impact on socio-economic development
  • Enhancing industrial growth with disruptive technologies from the aspect of sustainable socio-economic development
  • Policy frameworks and regulatory compliance with disruptive technologies for sustainable socio-economic development
