Socio-economic development here refers to continuous improvement in economic and social wellbeing and living standards of the individuals and communities. It relates to meeting people’s basic and developmental needs that allow them to live a dignified quality and healthy life. In the present world, socio-economic development is closely linked with human rights perspectives and equitable access to opportunities, services and resources. The other areas include justifiable access to quality education, better healthcare, clean drinking water, affordable safe food, comfortable housing, good sanitation, hygienic environment, stress-free transportation, reliable security, sustained energy, ICT and other public services. Making it further broader, it may include rightful financial opportunities, social justice, evenhanded developmental chances and alike benefits from the modern technological advancements.

Socio-economic development brings qualitative changes in the structure and framework of society; and it requires strengthening of related policies, delivery mechanisms and systems, assuring holistic development and poverty eradication processes. The dynamics of socio-economic development is much more complex and links to the values like gender mainstreaming; equal treatment irrespective of race, religion, social status or other biases; solidarity; and inclusive engagement of related stakeholders. Socio-economic development, with all these, promotes self-reliance and building capacities to realize self-sustained development.
