economic security
Monetary well-being assured
Economic security is the condition of having stable income, employment, and resources to meet basic needs and withstand financial shocks.
It encompasses reliable access to food, housing, healthcare, and savings.
Governments pursue economic security through safety nets and job programs; individuals seek it through steady work and emergency funds.
The recession threatened the economic security of millions of families.
