Socio-Economic Sustainability in the Post-Pandemic Era: An Organizational Structural Framework for Reliability, Safety, and Deployment

Socio-Economic Sustainability In The Post-Pandemic Era

Crises and perturbations push the entire socio-economic sustainability and ecological system into chaos and escalating risks of ecological damages, financial crashes, resources depletion, climate change, etc., before settling into an alternative stable state (Scheffer et al., 2012; Homer-Dixon et al., 2015). The socio-economic and ecological disruption caused by COVID-19 pandemic has triggered impacts on economic, social, political, ecological and health systemic changes leading to crises and opportunities for technological innovations leading to convergence and transition. COVID-19 pandemics was the perfect storm for the intersection of epidemiological and socio-ecological changes and economic growth, financial, and geopolitical instability. The COVID-19 pandemic extended the health problems to medicine, economic, financial, socio-ecological, and geopolitical.

Socio-economic variables are important for sustainability in the post-pandemic era and for the vulnerability to climate change such as economic growth, and social development that are seen as age, gender, race, and socio-economic status (Lundgren & Jonsson, 2012). Socio-economic growth and development are limited and eroding the socio-ecological regime and social innovation change leading to widespread economic, social, and political collapse. This dynamic has sustainable socio-economic development problems, health effects, mental distress, loss of food security, etc. (Whitmee et al., 2015; Butler, 2016).
