The doughnut economics' safe and just space (SJS) framework constitutes an innovative approach for measuring sustainable human well-being. However, since it was first published, little attention has been paid to the process of selecting the dimensions, indicators, and thresholds that shape the socially just space (social foundation). This thesis evaluates how adequate the social foundation is for measuring progress toward human prosperity. It seeks to identify potential shortcomings that need to be corrected so that the socially just space can serve as an accurate global-scale compass for human well-being. Likewise, it attempts to serve as input for future discussions on the suitability of the SJS framework for developing countries. The analysis comprises a critical review of the origins of the social foundation and an evaluation of its sufficiency in assessing human deprivations. The results reveal that Raworth's social foundation cannot grasp complex social challenges adequately; its scope is constrained but can be substantially enhanced without changing the criteria used for its establishment. The recommendations for improvement contemplate four new dimensions, five complementary and three substitute indicators, which result in a "reinforced socially just space" that depicts a considerably different snapshot in the current state of human deprivations than the one presented by Raworth.

The doughnut economics of social and planetary boundaries, safe and just space (SJS), constitute an innovative approach to the measurement of sustainable human well-being. However, there is not a single nation capable of meeting its citizens' needs at a globally sustainable level of resource use. The studies that applied the SJS framework showed particularly poor performance of developing countries in the social aspect, with some of them not being able to achieve more than a single threshold. Thus, it’s imperative to analyze to what extent is the social dimension of the SJS framework (i.e., indicators and thresholds) appropriate for developing countries.

Student Rodriguez Valdiviezo presented the thesis “Analysis of the social foundation of the safe and just space framework, dimensions, indicators, and thresholds “. The student briefly introduced the context, two research questions and methodology. Afterwards, the student shared his findings with the committee. He reviewed the doughnut economy model and proposed some new indicators. Reviews from both the supervisor and reviewer were presented. The student answered all questions raised during the reading of the reviews. He also reacted to comments raised during the discussion from the committee.
