Morphology

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

The adverb is a regular adverbial formation from the adjective 'socioeconomic' using '-ally', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Socioeconomically begins with socio-, like social, which means 'people' or 'society', and uses economic, like economy, which means 'money and jobs'. So to think socioeconomically is to look at how social life and money or work affect each other.
