Definition of social development

The concept of Social Development refers to the development of both human capital as of the social capital of a company. It implies and consists of an evolution or positive change in the relationships between individuals, groups and institutions of a society, with Social Welfare being the future project.

Basically, Social Development should be understood as a process of improving the quality of life of a society. A community will be considered to have a high quality of life when its inhabitants, within a framework of peace, freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, fairness, equality Y solidarity, have wide and recurring possibilities of satisfying their needs and also of being able to deploy their potentialities and knowledge with with a view to achieving a future improvement in their lives, in terms of personal fulfillment and in terms of the fulfillment of society as a whole respect.

Although Social Welfare, which is what social development ultimately aspires to, has an important subjectivity of each individual, that is, what for me is well-being for another good cannot be it and vice versa, there is a set factors that contribute to the achievement of the same and that even with the subjectivities of the case, turn out to be very common even in the differences.

The importance of the economy, health and education in development

To be able to access a decent and well-paid job according to the tasks that are performed, access to a decent home in which to live with the family and protect it from the risks that life on the street would entail, the possibility of educating ourselves and our children so that tomorrow we can one and them, indeed, enjoy better job opportunities and also be able to have adequate health care that can help us solve and overcoming some diseases to be able to continue with our projects, they turn out to be some of the primary, basic factors that will allow you to enjoy the ultimate goal that is well-being and are also conditions without equanom to speak of a satisfactory social development in a certain society.

Justice and freedom cannot and should not be left out of social development

But not everything is money and social development also means that a nation observes other issues, in addition to a population that can have its basic needs satisfied, such as The correct one administration justice and the presence of freedom so that citizens can think and express themselves freely. These conditions are also essential for a nation to develop socially in conformity.

A ministry of social development that ensures the development of its citizens

As long as and in order to achieve the development of a community, in most of the nations of the world there is a portfolio, secretariat or ministry, as appropriate, in charge especially on this issue, that is, to develop and promote public policies in order to facilitate those with fewer resources to achieve or advance towards some type of growth.

Unfortunately, in the majority of the societies that make up the world, the inequality more than social equality, while in those underdeveloped countries the gap between those with the most and those with the least is tremendously large. For this very reason, the presence of the state is necessary, essential, to make that crack as less abysmal as possible.

And only then, as we said above, is it possible to reduce this difference through the implementation of public policies. But of course, the state is huge and has many edges in which to venture and for this reason it is available to attack the deficiencies through a specialization. The ministries of social development will be specifically responsible for meeting the needs of the most deprived population sector.

In principle, it will try to attack the problem through the delivery of subsidies, normally this action is carried out to cover the needs that would otherwise be unsatisfied and could generate many complications for the person in their development according.

The state as a whole in favor of social development

Then, the ideal and recommended thing is that the state through this ministry takes care of generating the necessary conditions so that this people can insert themselves into society, get a decent job that allows the person to support themselves and do the same with their family. It also requires a job and a general approach, that is, the development ministry must work together with other ministerial portfolios: work, economy, education, so that everyone agrees on public policies that agree on the achievement of social development.
