What is social development? Why should researchers study social development in addition to economic development?

What will be an ideal response?

The ideal answer should include:
1. Social development should be studied to capture the broader conception of the dimensions of development. Scholars typically study social development by looking at such variables as greater urbanization, expanded communications, more extensive social networks, improved efficiency, higher education levels, higher literacy rates, and greater social mobility.
2. Studying social development allows researchers to understand the organizational and attitudinal dimensions of development. This is important because the various aspects or dimensions of development are intertwined.
