Abstract


Public service­ programs are important for helping communities grow socially. The­y handle problems people­ face. That said, there could be­ some issues with these­ programs. Some say using these se­rvices too much can make people­ depend too much on governme­nt help. This might stop them from growing in the long run. Critics of extensive public intervention argue that it can create a cycle of dependency on government support, hindering long-term sustainable growth. This Study aims to examine the nexus between public service interventions and social development by conducting a systematic literature synthesis. The Study will analyze existing research and literature to understand the impact of public service interventions on social development outcomes. This Study uses a Systematic Literature Review methodology to identify relevant studies and extract key findings. The Data is taken from the Scopus Database and identifies several country cases where public service interventions have been implemented to address social development challenges. The Study result reveals that public service interventions can have both positive and negative effects on social development. While public service interventions have been successful in addressing immediate social challenges such as poverty alleviation and access to basic services, they may also inadvertently create dependency and inhibit long-term sustainable development. The Finding implies that there is a need for careful and strategic planning of public service interventions to ensure positive social development outcomes. Furthermore, the Study highlights the importance of considering community participation and empowerment in public service interventions to foster sustainable development.
