Allocation by need refers to the practice of distributing or allocating goods and resources based on the level of need or necessity rather than on factors such as wealth, want, or demand.

This concept is commonly associated with social welfare programs or strategies that focus on addressing the basic needs of individuals or disadvantaged groups.
