SOCIAL JUSTICE, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Abstract

BRICS countries have emerged globally and achieved a greater role in promoting economic self-growth over the past years, but economic growth without addressing issues regarding social development can deep the existing social inequality within BRICS’ societies. This paper discuss how BRICS countries fare in comparative terms on their social indicators: i) social development; ii) education; iii) health; and iv) cultural development, since these indicators have all been identified as integral to BRICS cooperation in the social sphere.
