I would like to analyse the relationship between the social progress of a country with the level of population growth. What other variables should I take into account in order to conduct a regression analysis?
Hi,
Please could you explain in some details what do you mean by social progress in your study?
Dear Michela, I would suggest you to start with a brief review of the literature on population Economics and Demographics (the ESPE is a good option https://www.espe.org/). This could help you to better design the study you want to conduct. Perhaps you would like to analyze variables related to growth and income distribution or human capital (health, education), as well as other related to social progress (for instance, gender issues). And its interaction with population dynamics (fertility, ageing, immigration, etc.). Good luck with your research work.
good afternoon, you can consider other macroeconomic variables that relate directly or indirectly to what you want to measure, that is: (social progress), in this sense you can use the level of unsatisfied basic needs (NBI), the human development index (IDH), GDP per capita, unemployment rate, schooling levels, among others.
