Definition
Economic development must translate into practical dignity, security and opportunity for citizens.
Core principles
- Accessible health and education.
- Basic infrastructure and clean environments.
- Social protection that preserves dignity and supports capability.
Meaning for public policy
SPP supports social protection while aiming to expand the productive opportunities that reduce long-term dependency. Social policy and economic policy should therefore be designed together.
Institutional test
The principle should be applied consistently to SPP itself. Party organisation, candidate selection, finance and leadership conduct should reflect the same standard expected of government.
