Abstract

Labor-intensive public works (LIPWs) serve as a safety net to the impoverished in the African countries such as Botswana and other developing nations during critical times. Road projects benefit the poor since studies show that they are drawn more to these type of menial jobs than the nonpoor. Research on LIPWs will aid nations in conceiving and designing poverty-focused, short-range projects. The poor prefer road works that offer better wage and employment benefits than casual wage employment.
