“…An individual with a better education will more easily find a suitable job and ensure a better socio-economic status for himself and his family members. On the other hand, education is part of human capital, which is a factor of economic growth and development (Madžar, 2022;Marjanović and Marković, 2022). In addition, there are also non-economic effects that are reflected in social inclusion, improved access to health and other services, as well as the possibility of higher income, which contributes to the reduction of poverty.…”

The aim of the paper is to analyse the position of the Republic of Serbia in relation to the performance of education in the countries of the European Union (EU), which was evaluated based on a multi-criteria analysis. For that purpose, the following criteria from the Eurostat database were used: Tertiary educational attainment (age group 25-34), Participation in early childhood education, Adult participation in learning, Share of individuals having at least basic digital skills and Early leavers from education and training. In the ranking of countries, the Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) was applied, while the weighting coefficients were calculated using the equal weighting method. Research shows that Serbia lags far behind EU countries in terms of the quality of education, so educational policy makers must improve that quality in the coming period, especially when it comes to the indicator – Participation in early childhood education. In addition, the hypothesis that highly developed countries (based on GDP per capita) have higher values of the composite index of education was confirmed. The best results are achieved by the countries of Northern Europe, so in improving the level of education, the practice of these countries must be followed and adopted by policy makers.

The paper aims to rank European Union (EU) countries according to the composite index, which uses selected social protection indicators from the relevant database at EU level – Eurostat. The total score of social performance for 2020 was determined using the CRITIC-TOPSIS framework. The study showed that Austria, Luxembourg and Germany, respectively, had the best level of social protection, while Latvia, Romania and Spain were at the bottom, as the countries with the worst values of indicators. The importance of research is reflected in the fact that the social component of sustainable development is still not sufficiently researched, especially when it comes to the application of multi-criteria analysis methods in the empirical analysis of social sustainability. In this regard, de- pending on the obtained performance values, socio-economic policymakers can redesign existing measures and programs, as well as the amounts of social transfers to certain EU member states. The authors expect that the results of the study will help build higher social standards and well-being in the EU.
