It's simple really, people need to start understanding that although the government holds a responsibility to govern and protect the country and its people, we have our own individual responsibilities as well. No matter how many projects, help, and assistance the government provides, if an individual refuse to help themselves and take an action then it will always result back to where they started--nothing.
That is if people are not lazy and are not completely dependent on assistance provided by the government. Human characters are definitely different and there are many people who expect help because the job market is getting more difficult and there are some because they are lazy about working because a lot of help has been given, which makes them even lazier. We often see the character of people who do not have education and are lazy about working and are more likely to expect help from other people although though not all of them have the same character.

But if we ourselves don't want to change our fate by finding solutions, then no matter how much assistance from the government we get, it will never make them live independently and in the end they will also be the ones who live in difficulty. In today's life, if we don't change our fate ourselves, then there is no chance for us to get out of the economic crush.
Your insights about human nature, work ethic, and government support raise a shared social and economic policy issue, no? Assistance vs self-initiative is a tricky balance. Is it appropriate to call someone “lazy” or blame their dependence on aid on a lack of willpower?

Automation, globalization, and other macroeconomic forces influence the employment market in the modern economy, therefore it is not a reflection of human will or character. Numerous, often hidden hurdles skew opportunities, education, and social mobility in this complicated system

When discussing independence and economic stability, shouldn't we also explore how we can remove these barriers as a society to ensure that support empowers and empowers? Not simply how much support is given, but how it's designed to uplift those who get it, right?
