Study of Human Development Indicators in Iran with Emphasis on Transparency (2013-2021)

Human development, as a multidimensional concept, is one of the key foundations of a country's development and can be instrumental in achieving the country's economic, social, and cultural objectives. The present research, using a descriptive-analytical method and a deductive approach based on the theoretical framework of good governance, seeks to answer the main and subsidiary questions: What impact has transparency had on human development indicators in Iran during the period from 2013 to 2021? And what is the relationship and correlation between transparency and human development indicators? The existence of high and low levels of transparency in Iran during this period has had a significant impact on human development indicators in society, and these effects have changed over time. There is generally a direct and positive correlation between transparency and human development indicators. This research aims to explore the relationship between human development indicators and transparency in society and provide an empirical analysis of the impact and relationship between these indicators and transparency. The findings of the study suggest that by enhancing transparency in the country's economic spheres through the expansion of modern information and communication technologies, along with the development of e-government and increasing public participation, and digitizing public services, transparency in society can be increased, thereby accelerating and facilitating the improvement of human development indicators.
