Features: Issues of unsustainable development, such as rapid population growth, resource depletion, environmental pollution, and ecological destruction, have become increasingly prominent in the contemporary world, especially in developing countries. This book provides an economic analysis of sustainable development against the backdrop of economic development in developing countries. Unlike general economics that addresses the efficient allocation of resources, sustainable development economics focuses on the intergenerational efficient allocation of resources. Based on the research objectives and tasks of this book, it analyzes the development tasks and sustainable development strategies faced by developing countries, as well as the indicator systems for sustainable development, from the perspectives of economic theory and policy. It examines the sustainable development system involving population, natural resources, ecology, and the environment; analyzes the requirements of sustainable development for industrial structure, regional development, technological progress, and human resource development; and explores the mechanisms for achieving and regulating sustainable development. This book provides a theoretical foundation for formulating economic strategies and policies for sustainable development.
