  Causes of Corruption in the Public Sector Various country-level factors affect the functioning of governments and their services, influencing the existence and prevalence of public sector corruption. A non-exhaustive list of factors includes: Country size Studies show that geographically large countries with sparse populations can be more prone to corruption as it becomes increasingly challenging to monitor remote officials (Goel & Nelson, 2010).

(Goel and Nelson, 2010). In the context of crime, rent-seeking means using public funds to increase a share of existing wealth without creating new wealth for the state.

  5 Insights on Future Challenges Facing Governments What are the government's most pressing challenges in the second half of 2020?  We asked 700 selected national and local politicians and officials from our network to participate in the survey.  Wajid khan Mentioned The following five insights from our network's responses demonstrate an interesting prioritization of the problem. 1.
