Are socio-economic issues "Social" or "Economic"!? D'oh!

This is so complicated! Maybe someone can help...

You see, I'm going through all the "issues" and dividing them up as to whether they are "social" or "economic" so that I can choose the candidate that talks more about the one I want... and then I got to "socio-economic" and I'm having a damned hard time figuring out to put that in the "social" shoebox or the "economic" shoebox...

Looking forward to some help with my honest and respectful question.

To completely belittle them? As if women and POC need YOU to explain anything to them about their struggles.

Easy- and oh sooo common for those who society has fucking catered to all their lives to be dismissive of the issues that leave POC, women and their babies seriously suffering in poverty in our society.
This self centered bullshit just astounds me.
