This systematic review systematically evaluates studies assessing the social impacts of construction and demolition waste management within the construction industry from 2009 to 2024, with the aim of categorising and summarising its benefits and drawbacks for society. This review explores strategies to enhance positive outcomes and mitigate negative impacts of construction and demolition waste management, thereby enhancing the role of construction and demolition waste management in social development. It emphasizes the role of C&D waste management in fostering sustainable development by reducing carbon emissions, promoting economic growth, and enhancing social equity. Key strategies include tax reforms, emerging technologies, and public engagement. However, barriers such as weak regulations and funding gaps persist. The findings advocate for a circular economy transition through collaborative societal efforts to achieve sustainability and equity. This research provides valuable research directions for the future development of construction and demolition waste management, and researchers could delve into technological innovation, management systems, data collection, and policy reforms.
