Abstract EN

This study aims to demonstrate the role and relationship of small projects in achieving the social dimension of sustainable development in Iraq for the period (1990-2019), using the (Eviews 12) program.

The unit root test was used for the study variables, through the application of the Augmented Dickey test Fuller Test), to reveal the existence of a joint integration between the variables.

The study covered annual data for a time series of (30) years, which was obtained based on official data issued by the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund, and the Ministry of Planning - Republic of Iraq.

Small projects are among the most important mechanisms that contribute to a large percentage of employment and the reduction of unemployment, due to their flexibility in providing job opportunities in the business community.

The study concluded that (93% ) of the changes that occur in the social dimension represented by the unemployment rate are explained by the independent variables included in the model, and the remaining (7% ) of the changes are explained by the random variable or other external variables.
