26. You will notice one common thing, what people desire are regular work, better wages and decent price for their crops or other product that they produce. In other words they want more income.besides seeking more income one way or the other people also seek things like equal treatment, freedom, security, and respect of others. They resent discrimination. All these important goals.in fact in some cases this may be more important than more income or more conception because material goods are not all that you need to live.
Money or material things that one can buy with it , is one factor on which our life depends. But the quality of our life also depends on non material things mentioned above. If it is not obvious to you then just think of the role of your friends in your life. You may desire their friendship. Similarly there are many things that are not easily measured but they mean a lot to our lives. These are often ignored. However,it will be wrong to conclude that what cannot be measured is not important.
Consider another example. If you get a job in a far off place,before accepting it you would try to consider many factors apart from income such as facilities for your family, working atmosphere, aur opportunity to learn. In another case, a job may give you less pay but may offer regular employment that and answer your sense of security.
Another job, however may offer high pay but no job security and also leave no time for your family. This will reduce your sense of security and freedom.
Similarly, for development , people look at mix of goals. It is true that if women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and society increase. However, it is also the case that if there is respect for women there would be more sharing of housework and greater acceptance of women working outside. A safe and secure environment may allow more women to take up a variety of jobs or run a business. Hence, the development goals that people have are not only about better income but also about other important things in life.
