Abstract

Digital welfare systems have emerged as a critical tool in promoting sustainable development across the globe. These systems leverage digital technologies to enhance social protection, reduce poverty, and foster economic growth while addressing environmental challenges. This paper explores the role of digital welfare systems in advancing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on their impact on poverty alleviation, health, education, and environmental sustainability. Through a comparative analysis of case studies from different regions, this paper highlights the successes, challenges, and future prospects of digital welfare systems in driving sustainable development.
