What are the people's livelihood?

People's livelihood refers to the people, and people's livelihood refers to the matters of people's daily life, such as food, clothing, housing, employment, entertainment, family, associations, companies, tourism and so on. In a broad sense, the concept of people's livelihood refers to all things related to people's livelihood, including things directly and indirectly related to people's livelihood.

The advantage of this concept is that it fully emphasizes the high importance and comprehensiveness of people's livelihood issues, but its obvious deficiency is that the scope of the concept is too large. The narrow concept of people's livelihood mainly focuses on the social level. From this perspective, the so-called people's livelihood mainly refers to people's basic living and living conditions, as well as people's basic development opportunities, basic development capabilities and the protection of basic rights and interests.
