Measuring social development – WJEC
Social development refers to the way society is changing. Geographers always want to know if people’s lives are changing, in what way they're changing and if the change is for the better. Development is a continuum scale which is dynamic and forever changing. Countries and people can be at different stages of the development continuum.
