Orienting economic policy toward social need
- Redirecting investment to meet real needs
Description
Orienting economic policy toward social need involves systematically aligning fiscal, monetary, and regulatory measures to directly address pressing societal challenges such as poverty, inequality, and access to essential services. This strategy prioritizes resource allocation, investment, and policy incentives that remedy social deficits, ensuring economic growth translates into tangible improvements in well-being. It emphasizes targeted interventions, inclusive planning, and continuous assessment to adapt policies for maximum social benefit and the reduction of systemic disadvantage.
Implementation
Many UN agencies have emphasized the need to take account of human needs in determining economic adjustment and restructuring policies and programmes, including measures to safeguard the poor, especially in areas of health and education, and "debt swaps for children".
