Abstract

Belarus is a member of a large association in the Eurasian space – the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). An analysis of the nature of digitalization in all EAEU member states is important for the digital policy of the EAEU. A study was conducted earlier by the authors to determine the features of digitalization in the EAEU member states according to international ratings of digital development [1]. This article is a continuation of the study. The article contains an assessment of digitalization by indicators of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the EAEU member states.

Purpose of scientific research: analysis of the digitalization process and the SDGs; assessment of digitalization by indicators of SDGs of the EAEU member states. The results of the study are written in the article. The main problems are identified in the process of digitalization and sustainable development. Digital SDGs methodology explored. An assessment of the level of digitalization was made in the EAEU member states to the SDGs indicators. The national approach of Belarus to the implementation of the SDGs is proposed. An assessment of the level of digitalization was made in Belarus according to the SDGs indicators. The stages of the formation of digital indicators of the SDGs are defined in the EAEU.
