Abstract

The employment and income generation programmes are of two types such as: (i) self-employment, and (ii) wage-employment programmes. Self-employment programmes usually target the poor and assist them in undertaking income generating activities by providing them with credits. In some cases credit is accompanied by assistance in skill training and marketing. The wage-employment programmes create employment by using labour-intensive methods in constructing infrastructure.)
