General note Development economics is a branch of economics which deals with economic aspects of the development process in less developed countries (LDCs). Its focus is not only on methods of promoting economic growth but also on improving the general well-being of common people through health, education, workplace conditions, and other aspects of human development. Development economics involves the creation of theories and methods that aid in the determination of policies and practices for economic and social security of the population at large.
