The Impact Of Social Spending On Inclusive Growth In Arab Countries: An Econometric Study For The Period 2000-2022 Using Panel Data Model.

Authors : Nedjar Malika .

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of economic growth, health spending, and education spending on inclusive growth using panel data from 2000 to 2022. Employing a fixed effects regression model, the findings show that GDP has a significant positive effect on HDI, while health and education spending do not exhibit statistically significant impacts. The results highlight the importance of economic growth for human development but suggest that social spending alone is insufficient without effective allocation. Data variability and country-specific factors also influence outcomes. The study emphasizes the need for targeted and efficient policy interventions to enhance human development
