Louise, maybe a thing like "birth control" or "population control" ( choose your favorite way to say it) might also help. as long as daddy is making 10 kids in his lifetime, those kids ( especially the boys) will need to find work. If we can control daddy's seed down to one or two, that is a lot less people looking for work.... Not to mention less AIDS, and other STD's .
I don't think its a govt's job to create jobs. Let the private sector do that. The thing over there in particular is that the government is so corrupt they take nearly everything so there is next to nothing left to give to the really needy.
all of the above are my personal opinions, of course.
