non-economic
Not about finances
Non-economic describes factors, values, or considerations that fall outside monetary or financial measurement.
A decision might be made for non-economic reasons—personal satisfaction, family obligations, environmental concerns, or moral principles: She took the job for non-economic reasons, wanting to be near her aging parents.
The term often appears in policy discussions where human or social costs resist quantification.
