Abstract: Today, we frequently discuss the significance of accomplishing the objectives of sustainable development, but first, we must assess the conditions necessary to address these issues, particularly in developing countries. Additionally, a growing number of experts are discussing the idea that certain objectives should be accomplished in more or less vulnerable areas rather than being monitored and compared across countries. Every human being's development begins with education. How do we talk about the continuing development of society if there is a sizable portion of the population that is illiterate, uneducated, and unemployed, and at the same time there is discrimination because that demographic is primarily female? We used the data on incomplete primary school, illiterate population, computer literate population, employed and economically inactive populations, as well as homemakers by gender at the area level (25 units). These are a few of the indicators that reveal the potential of human resources, which are the essential building blocks for the growth of society and the economy. Since the last Census was conducted last year, but the data has not yet been published, our analysis is based on the last official Census from 2011. Based on the indicators, areas that are more threatened and those with a wider gender disparity than in other areas have been singled out. Given that the observed indicators are tied to the economic and educational frameworks, it is advised that data from other sectors be included in future studies to provide a more complete picture of what needs to be focused on.
