Creating a stable structure in human relationships, institutions reduce insecurity, transaction costs and increase people's motivation.

Summary

Introduction

High rate of unemployment, corruption, and other social and economic factors have left low-income households in poverty in most countries and they do not enjoy the benefits of economic growth, so in recent years the issue of poverty eradication has been considered and the support of the United Nations and its affiliates has put this issue on the agenda of governments in most countries. Various studies have been conducted in different countries on how to reduce poverty, most of which have mentioned economic growth as the main solution to reduce poverty (Lyubimov, 2017). There is intense debate over the extent to which the poor benefit from this growth. Some economists believe that liberal economic policies should be supported to provide an opportunity to increase the income of the poor. Another group believes that the benefit of economic growth for the poor are undermined or even offset by sharp increase in inequality (Dollar and Kraay, 2002). With the rising differences between countries in terms of economic growth and poverty, economists sought to find the reason for these differences
