First, we need to effectively identify poor people using multiple dimensions of poverty. If we are able to come up with an effective measure, we will be able to find those who really need financial support from the government. By concentrating on giving people incentives to create value by themselves rather than sit and wait for the government to provide the benefit this kind of program will ensure that our benefit program does reduce poverty rate of the country. After five to seven years, poor people will improve their conditions so much that the government can exclude them from the benefit program. This stage will be more preferable than the initial one with the benefit, since the change will be significant. Therefore, everyone will be better-off.
