Abstract

One of the key trends in sustainable development is to ensure integrated regions’ social development. Strengthening the “social” part of sustainable development leads to new ways of improving people’s quality of life. Mathematical modelling is one of the tools needed to transform the region’s economy from developing to developed state. A model may help explain a system, study the effects of different components, and make predictions about behaviour. This study critically examines the shortcomings and limitations of the existing VRS model to assess social efficiency in China provinces. The authors analyzed China provinces social effectiveness data to test the Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) obtained models. Social and economic data was used from China Year Statistical Books from 1997 to 2021. The total expenditures on health care and education were taken as input variables, and the Atkinson Index, the number of unemployed people and GDP were taken as output variables. Based on improved DEA models, target indicators of output social parameters were determined. The analysis of the obtained results suggests that using the proposed models would allow determining the directions of China provinces’ effective multifactorial development.
