Abstract

The productivity of a country's economy depends heavily on technological development. If the labor factor is more productive, a workforce can produce more goods and thus accumulate more physical capital. As a result, more is being invested in the country, growth and prosperity increases. A world population of 7 billion people and individuals and communities with limited natural resources must learn to live together in a sustainable way. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in September 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Real progress will be difficult if not all children and young people worldwide receive quality education. Therefore, education plays a central role in the SDGs. This chapter also refers to the education for sustainable development (ESD) concept and the importance of this concept for Azerbaijan. While explaining this concept, it emphasizes that in Azerbaijan this phenomen may be an important factor to avoid Dutch disease. In the study, the effect of education on economic development in Azerbaijan was analyzed.
