Abstract: This paper discusses models for planning the social development of a country. These models are intended to provide some understanding and assessment of inter-temporal changes in social groups through industrial, educational, health, etc. opportunities and constraints over a time horizon. They thus include constraints and goals for planning the improvement in living conditions and the upgrading of different segments of society. The models also make extensive use of various sociological factors. While these models are presented in the context of a developing nation, the concepts, attributes and formalisms are not limited to such cases.
