Gaps in population, resource allocation fueling graft

One of the key principles of motivation is that what gets measured gets done. Similarly, what gets rewarded gets done. The combined effect is exponential – what gets measured and gets rewarded, gets done well. The amazing consequence is that, when an act is regularly measured and consistently rewarded, it soon becomes a habit or even a culture. This has profound implications for us as a nation, especially when applied to two current national concerns – corruption and the census.
