Growing populations, expanding economies, industrialisation, and urbanisation pose a problem for waste management in developing countries. Their waste management methods, on the other hand, are not as efficient as they could be. Most developing countries' current waste management practices do not fully conform to developed countries' best practices for meeting socioeconomic goals. As a result, the importance of waste management in developing countries has grown in recent years. In order to highlight the socioeconomic perspectives of waste management practices, the present study examines the existing literature, policies, information, and records on waste management in developing nations. The findings indicate that essential socioeconomic factors such as finances, population density, per capita income, education level, policies, and technology have a significant impact on waste management, which encompasses waste generation, collection, composition, and disposal/treatment. Nonetheless, waste management has a number of economic benefits, including financial stability, job creation, and community cohesion. This study will inspire further research on the need for developing nations to consider the socioeconomic benefits of proper waste management and to develop a policy plan to achieve these benefits.
人口增长、经济扩张、工业化和城市化给发展中国家的废物管理带来了问题。另一方面，它们的废物管理方法效率并不高。大多数发展中国家目前的废物管理实践并不完全符合发达国家为实现社会经济目标而采取的最佳做法。因此，近年来废物管理在发展中国家的重要性日益增加。为了突出废物管理实践的社会经济观点，本研究审查了发展中国家废物管理的现有文献、政策、信息和记录。研究结果表明，财政、人口密度、人均收入、教育水平、政策和技术等基本社会经济因素对废物管理有重大影响，其中包括废物产生、收集、组成和处置/处理。尽管如此，废物管理具有许多经济效益，包括财政稳定、创造就业机会和社区凝聚力。本研究将激发进一步研究发展中国家需要考虑适当废物管理的社会经济效益，并制定一项政策计划以实现这些效益。
