Original motivation is from constantly running into this while detecting typos with codespell.
FTR, to codespell this "typo" was added within
codespell-project/codespell#3280 and here is "recent" discussion on likely allowing both forms: codespell-project/codespell#3353 but giving more arguments.

It is true that "socio-economic" is also known and generally considered correct. But if someone goes to
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socio-economic it does list it as "socioeconomic" and examples follow the version without the dash. So it seems to be the prevalent version, and thus why not to use it instead?

.it and .ro might (or not) want to adopt too?

@CoralineAda I came here to make this PR. I see you accepted a PR to remove the hyphen from email in d947a0f. Is there any other input required to consider the change?
