Social health determinants (SHD) refer to the conditions in which people are born, grow up, find a job, live and age. They also refer to the broad structures that shape such conditions for everyday life. These structures can include policies and economic systems of societies, development programs, social norms and cultural, social and political policies. Social health determinants play an effective role in the global agenda for sustainable development of societies. Therefore, one of the effective factors in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is the promotion of the social health of citizens. The Research Section of the UNESCO Chair in Social Health and Development was established with the aim of supporting research projects and theses related to the subject of this Chair, as well as organizing and conducting research in the field of social indicators of health and sustainable development in cooperation with relevant organizations and institutions.
