This is the case in some European countries (mostly Italy) and more especially in the so called third world countries in different employment programs, especially those of the United Nations effort is geared towards the mobilization of this sector. This is considered as a means of creating employment opportunities and a way of contributing towards the reduction of poverty in the world.
