broad-based

Spanning many groups

Broad-based means drawing from or affecting a wide range of sources, groups, or areas rather than a narrow segment: broad-based support, broad-based economic growth, a broad-based coalition.

The term emphasizes inclusiveness or comprehensive scope, often appearing in political and economic contexts where widespread participation or impact matters.
