Morphology

socioeconomic = economic (transparent) = socio + economic + socio

Meaning is directly derived from the combining form 'socio-' (social) attached to 'economic', yielding 'relating to social and economic factors'.

Etymology

Socioeconomic combines socio- ('people' or 'social', as in social) and economic (from economy, 'money and work'), so it describes how people's social life and their money or jobs affect each other.
