Socio-Economic Studies
Understanding the Human Side of Development
Our Socio-Economic Studies explore the social and economic realities that shape how people live, work, and interact with their environments. We conduct in-depth analyses to uncover trends in income, employment, housing, demographics, service access, and vulnerability—informing inclusive, evidence-based planning and development.
We work with governments, development agencies, and local communities to assess current conditions, identify inequalities, and co-develop recommendations that lead to more equitable and resilient outcomes. From informal settlements and rural towns to fast-growing urban centers, our studies help unlock the potential of people and places.
Baseline and Situational Assessments
We provide detailed socio-economic baselines to inform planning, project design, and policy formulation at local, regional, and national levels.
Urban and Regional Poverty Profiling
We map spatial dimensions of poverty and inequality to guide targeted interventions and pro-poor planning strategies.
Livelihood and Informal Economy Analysis
We assess employment patterns, income sources, and informal sector dynamics to support inclusive economic planning.
Housing Demand and Affordability Studies
We examine housing needs, affordability gaps, and tenure patterns to inform housing policies and investment priorities.
Social Impact and Vulnerability Assessments
We analyze the social impacts of projects and development trends, highlighting risks, trade-offs, and the needs of vulnerable groups.
Stakeholder and Community Mapping
We identify and profile key actors, institutions, and community groups to support participatory planning and effective stakeholder engagement.
Gender, Youth, and Social Inclusion Studies
We explore the roles, barriers, and opportunities for women, youth, and marginalized populations in urban and regional development.
