SOCIO ECONOMIC STUDY

The socioeconomic study is an essential part of a feasibility study that analyzes the social and
economic conditions of a target community. It aims to understand the people’s living standards,
needs, and capacities by examining key factors such as income levels, education, employment, and
population demographics. This helps determine whether a proposed project is beneficial, practical,
and suited to the area. By aligning the project with real community conditions, the study ensures
that development is both effective and inclusive.

In project feasibility analysis, understanding the socio-economic impact plays a crucial role—
especially when the project is initiated by the government. For public sector projects,
socio-economic desirability often outweighs profitability, making it a primary measure of success.
In this context, feasibility is not just about financial returns but also about how the project
contributes to the well-being of the community, economy, and environment. While private projects
mainly focus on economic gains, incorporating socio-economic elements becomes essential when
broader societal effects are involved. Therefore, whether treated as a core aspect in government
initiatives or as a supporting factor in private ventures, the socio-economic study provides valuable
insights into how a project aligns with the needs and development goals of society.
