• Trinidad: The government introduced the Special Works Programme in 1971 to construct much-needed infrastructure in various regions of the country (Pollard, 1985)

• In Trinidad and Tobago, discontent with the government in the early 1970s was a motivation for the government to offer jobs to the poor in a bid to gain their support and, between 1975 and 1985, the public sector employed almost a quarter of all workers (Baker, 1997). The government also increased existing public sector wages to match the private sector, even for the lower echelons of the civil service where employees were generally less skilled and educated (World Bank, 1995)

•  

• In a similar fashion, Gabon’s President Omar Bongo hired large numbers of the poor into the expanding public sector and parastatals (World Bank, 1997).
