As Economists
theorize on eradicating poverty, many jobless go hungry. For it is Politicians,
from the Executive Branch of Government, who make the policy decisions to
implement all needed strategies toward full employment. Elected Politicians,
the Cabinet which engages the public service to implement, monitor and report,
on the effectiveness of their policies, which will offer a basic standard of
living to the public. Healthcare, nourishing and protecting the population.
Education, messaging and training the citizenry. Infrastructure, providing essentials
for the people. Economic Drivers, must pay for that basic lifestyle, expand the
economy to match and surpass the nation’s expenditure, and to supplement Core Revenue;
Corporate Profits, Value-Added, Personal Taxes, etc.
Economists, highly
trained, accomplished and published, undertaking in depth research, who must
endeavor to raise living conditions across all levels of society, are thinking
about Productivity. Basic Healthcare gives the economy a strong workforce, well-nourished
to strengthen body and brain, and protected to reduce damage and harm, which is
essential to productivity. Standard Education adds literacy across the
population, crucial for communication and to advance higher learning, which is
also essential to productivity. Rudimentary Infrastructure must improve
efficiency to the workforce efforts, reducing time spend travelling and stress
on the job, which is again essential to productivity. Designing Economic
Drivers which will earn strong currencies, best use of natural resources and
deployment of its skilled and experienced people.
The highly trained, talented,
skilled and experienced Jobless is a serious danger to the peace and well-being
of a society. A healthy population, with crushing joblessness, is as
unproductive as a depraved Healthcare system, unable to test and treat, with its
constantly increasing national expenditure. An educated public, with overwhelming
unemployment, is also as unproductive as a deplorable Education system, which
fails its students, with cumulative national expenditure. A nation with sound public
works and high levels of unemployment is again as unproductive as inadequate Infrastructure,
with yearly increases to its national expenditure. Skilled and experienced people,
sitting idle, are also as unproductive as Economic Drivers targeting closed
markets while, dependent on the national treasury.
The Cabinet, with
reelection at the forefront of their minds, who are in charge of adopting policies
and managing the treasury, must also focus on achievements. Healthcare policies
are seen via a formula; cost of training and retaining workers, procurement of facilities
and equipment and its electoral benefits. Education policies are implemented in
much the same ways; training and retaining workers, building and maintaining
facilities and its visible effects on the electorate. Infrastructure policy
decisions; contracts awarded as a forerunner to a national election, plant and
equipment operating cost and public pricing, and its electoral effects.
Economic Drivers policies are designed and structured upon financial
borrowings, fearful of half-finished facilities, abandoned, overgrown with weeds
and its visible effects on the electorate.
Therefore,
Economists must present their research and formulated strategies, to create
jobs, in such a manner that would influence Politicians. SYNERGIES Fixes, which
will improve lifestyles, within a national election term. Medium term steps
with short term visibilities, which will point to long-term Sustainable
Development. Easily recognizable Healthcare personnel conducting first aid
classes and other medical examinations, in schools and community centers, as
part of their formal training. Inter-school Education; academic, cultural and
sport competitions, broadcasted nationwide, involving and coordinated by
student teachers. Pod design Infrastructure modules, which are disaster
compliant and easily interchangeable, to serve as Emergency and Educational
Facilities, Community Centers and Police Stations. Hence, additional Economic
Drivers; based on Infrastructure Pod construction, and all levels of Education
and Healthcare personnel training, targeting export markets.
