The Role Of Public Works To The Economy

By Sandra Hamilton


Many government ministries play different roles in the economy of a nation. The government uses the money collected through various ways like tax and borrowing to subsidize these sectors. This helps to enhance their efficiency and improve the services they offer to citizens. All this is implemented through the public works department. The uses of this unit to the economy of a nation are as follows.

Connectivity through various parts of the country is important as it boosts transport. It is created through the construction of roads, rails, and airports. Good transportation enhances trade and reduces inconveniences. A person can get to work in time without being affected by impassable roads as a result of weather changes. Farmers are encouraged to farm more as they are sure their products will reach the market on time.

Schools and learning institutions are important in the economy. It is through them that individuals are formally socialized to become important members of a society. The education offered gives them the knowledge and skills that are required in the running of the various parts of a firm. Government ensures that the young generation gets access to education by constructing more learning institutions.

The accessibility of health facilities is made easier through these works. The health of an individual contributes to their productivity and generally to the output in the economy. For instance, a sick farmer who cannot access medication will not be able to attend to his farm produce, and they will provide less to the market, leaving many people unsatisfied and his income becomes lower than usual.

Security is a right that all citizens are entitled to and is enhanced through bringing police posts next to them. When citizens feel that their properties are not safe from robbery attacks, they might be discouraged to acquire more. The will, in turn, reduce their level of productivity as they are not interested in investing. Those who will maintain productivity will opt to save their income, and as a result, there is little circulation of money in the economy.

A lot of jobs are created during the implementation of the projects by the government. They may include contractors, engineers, casual workers among many others. When these people are employed, they earn a living which improves their standards of living. They can meet their basic needs, and the gross domestic product of an economy rises.

Businesses blossom as a result of improved infrastructure and social amenities. With people working in healthy states and a secured nation, more is produced to the advantage of the firms. The produce is taken to the market through a good transport system and purchased using the income earned from the created jobs.

Recreation facilities built provided bring people together. After a long day of work the people go to these services to relax. Here they interact with each other in different ways. Games for instance helps them to appreciate the abilities of one another, and in some cases, special games are invented that help people with differences to settle them and this increases unity among members of a community.
