“…This suggests that the effect of perceived CSR on OI is stronger in Anglo‐Saxon countries outside Europe, whereas the fact that a company located in South Asia diminishes the effect of perceived CSR on OI. In the latter case, this result can be explained considering that in South Asian countries employees' basic needs are not fully satisfied and CSR awareness is low (Baughn et al, 2007; Razzaq et al, 2020).…”

“…Economic development also positively affects employees' demands for corporate responsibility, which tend to be greater when the level of wealth in a country is higher (Baughn et al, 2007). Clearly, those employees who live in underdeveloped countries have other priorities and needs before CSR, while first world employees are more likely to show more interest in CSR activities since they have their basic needs covered (Razzaq et al, 2020). Therefore, the effect of employees' perception of CSR on their work‐related attitudes can be affected by the level of social and economic development of the country where a company operates.

This paper aims to identify the conditions under which corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects employees' work-related attitudes. A meta-analysis of 42 studies published between 1999 and 2019 is elaborated considering the moderating effect of several contextual factors (country, industry, and national culture' values) and employees' demographic features (gender, age, education, tenure, and position) on the impact of perceived CSR on three work-related attitudes (organizational identification, commitment, and turnover intentions). The results reveal that the positive impact of CSR in employees' attitudes is not universal, it may vary due to the level of development and the national culture of the country where a company operates, the industry to which it belongs as well as employees' age and position. Furthermore, although individually some variables do not have a significant moderating effect, they are significant in combination with other variables, which opens new research avenues. The findings provide valuable help to human resource management policies.

“…Establish national SDGs and indicator systems. Some countries have modified or created a set of national indicators, according to their national conditions, based on the UN SDGs, while other countries have directly adopted the UN indicators for assessment work [64]. Different countries have formulated diverse priorities, which may not always be within the scope of 17 goals.…”

Global Action on SDGs: Policy Review and Outlook in a Post-Pandemic Era

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provided brand new goals and action targets for human well-being and development, but the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a shadow on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is therefore essential to provide a reference for making policy adjustments and transformations to promote the realization of SDGs in the post-pandemic era. Based on a literature review of the progress and policies of SDGs across countries worldwide, we find that research on sustainable policies has rapidly increased since the SDGs issued in 2015 with particular focuses on eco-environment, sustainable policies, green economy, sanitation and health, and water sanitation. Most countries are in the process of nationalization, institutionalization, and universalization of the SDGs through incorporating the SDGs into national development frameworks, enabling extensive participation and negotiation mechanisms, and promoting the SDGs’ national publicity. Countries of different economic and institutional backgrounds demonstrate divergent development pathways, priorities, measures, and progress in the implementation of SDGs. Despite significant global progress during the last five years, the North–South divide emerges in the policy action and achievement of SDGs. The least developed countries in sub-Sahara Africa and South Asia appear to be difficult or even unable to implement the SDGs and monitor the progress. In the post-pandemic era, particular attention shall be given to integrating SDGs and achieve synergy among goals, concretizing short-and medium-term priorities toward the SDGs targets for all countries, strengthening multilateralism and global cooperation among countries and continents, providing reliable data and approaches for real-time impact assessment and process monitoring, and promoting an inclusive engagement and integrative implementation with multiple stakeholders and consortiums.

“…Since its independence in 1947, the country has experienced countless inter-state and intra-state conflicts and is characterized as a volatile geopolitical region. In south Asia, Pakistan is ranked as the second lowest country in terms of progress according to the index of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and this can be largely attributed to the sociopolitical instability of the country [ 7 ], which has resulted in 38% of the population living below the poverty line. Coupled with the weakened situation of the country, another systemic challenge is present and this is migration, which has long played a key role in shaping the size and distribution of Pakistan’s population.…”

Background As advocated by WHO in “Closing the Health Gap in a Generation”, dramatic differences in child health are closely linked to degrees of social disadvantage, both within and between communities. Nevertheless, research has not examined whether child health inequalities include, but are not confined to, worse acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptoms among the socioeconomic disadvantaged in Pakistan. In addition to such disadvantages as the child’s gender, maternal education, and household poverty, the present study also examined the linkages between the community environment and ARI symptoms among Pakistan children under five. Furthermore, we have assessed gender contingencies related to the aforementioned associations. Methods Using data from the nationally representative 2017–2018 Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey, a total of 11,908 surviving preschool age children (0–59 months old) living in 561 communities were analyzed. We employed two-level multilevel logistic regressions to model the relationship between ARI symptoms and individual-level and community-level social factors. Results The social factors at individual and community levels were found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of the child suffering from ARI symptoms. A particularly higher risk was observed among girls who resided in urban areas (AOR = 1.42; p<0.01) and who had a birth order of three or greater. Discussions Our results underscore the need for socioeconomic interventions in Pakistan that are targeted at densely populated households and communities within urban areas, with a particular emphasis on out-migration, in order to improve unequal economic underdevelopment. This could be done by targeting improvements in socio-economic structures, including maternal education.
