The Implications of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor on the Fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals in the Social Sector Development

Abstract

    China and Pakistan launched the CPEC as a massive project to promote free trade and economic development. CPEC is perceived as "game-changer" despite being in its early stages. Previous research has taken into consideration both macro and micro level benefits of CPEC, but they have primarily been conceptually oriented. This study covers the knowledge gap by investigating the possible advantages of CPEC for Pakistani locals and how it is complimenting Sustainable Development Goals. We used the questionnaire method and face to face interview approach to conduct valuable information for the research. The results demonstrate that residents believe their social lives have significantly improved because of the development of CPEC. To maximize the benefits of CPEC, this research suggests the authorities and stakeholders of the project to enhance its involvement in the education, economic and industrial sectors.
