Economic burden refers to the financial strain that individuals, families, or societies experience due to various factors, such as health issues, unemployment, or natural disasters. This burden can manifest as increased medical expenses, loss of income, or the costs associated with recovery and support services. When the economic burden is significant, it can lead to broader societal impacts, including reduced productivity and increased reliance on government assistance programs. Addressing these burdens often requires coordinated efforts from governments, non-profit organizations, and communities to provide support and resources to those affected.
