Contributing to the targets of SDG #17, this book interrogates how the
Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and other indicators are (or can
be) relevant for entering the global discussion on UN SDGs. By
highlighting the topic of 'well-being' as a major connecting point
between the SDGs, the GEM and other surveys the book has three main
purposes: firstly, it shows that GEM data can contribute significantly
to the monitoring process of the attainment of the Sustainable
Development Goals; secondly it analyses the survey's capacity to add
value to the global discussion on well-being; thirdly, the book places
emphasis on the pressing need for data in order to monitor the
achievement of the SDGs.
Ultimately, the book provides sound research that can serve as a basis
for discussion with the UN on potential partnerships within the
framework of SDG 17. The authors encourage GEM and other researchers to
ensure that their data serves as a reliable partner to the UN in
building a better world, based on well-being for everyone.
