Abstract

One of the key objectives of governments of developing countries is to ensure that their most disadvantaged people come out of poverty and live better lives. The role of a government in this case should be not only to help people get access to resources that are required to gain material well-being, but also to offer people job opportunities when the market is unable to offer fruitful employment.
