Special Issue on Economic and Social Development

Economic and social development refers to the process through which the well-being and quality of life of individuals and communities improve over time, driven by economic growth, social progress, and institutional advancement. It encompasses efforts to reduce poverty, enhance education and healthcare, promote equality, and create inclusive, sustainable economies. This multidisciplinary field examines how policies, governance, investment, and innovation can shape both economic performance and social outcomes. Balancing economic efficiency with social equity, it aims to foster resilient societies that offer opportunities and dignity for all.
