Azerbaijan government should work on strengthening the public trust, especially among the unemployed people in order to enhance the individual and societal well-being.

The impact is larger for employed people, followed by unemployed and inactive labour force. Overall, research findings confirm existence of a positive causality from the trust to public institutions and self-reported individual life satisfaction. Particularly, unemployed people report lower trustworthiness to public institutions and less satisfaction with life.

Using a nationally representative cross-sectional dataset of 2698 respondents, we find that life satisfaction and the trust to public institutions significantly vary among the people with different employment status. Therefore, this research aims to explore the current state of institutional trust and life satisfaction of individuals, and empirically estimate the relationship for the group of people with different employment status (employed, unemployed, people not in the labour force). Public policy decision-makers are the representatives of public institutions and there is a clear positive linkage between the trust to public institutions and self-reported life satisfaction of individuals. Primary goal of public policy is to enhance individual and societal well-being. The findings have the potential to inform policy choices about the provision of public service programs in India as well a broader understanding of the relationship between public services and trust in government. Using cross-sectional survey data, I show not only that the provision of public goods is associated with increased trust or confidence in state governments, but that access to health, education, sanitation and water supply are the most important such public goods. I define provision in terms of availability of basic public goods to households at the state level in India, and drawing on earlier work I measure public trust in terms of the confidence people have in their state governments in India to take care of their basic needs. I test this assumption in India, a highly diverse liberal democracy that is characterized by socioeconomic variations between states as well as huge disparities in income and access to basic services, where the provision of such services by the government can influence public confidence or trust in the government. Such a connection is logical-the provision of public goods is an important aspect of 'good governance'. Despite huge public expenditure on services such as healthcare, education, sanitation, electricity and water supply, we know very little about whether access to public goods leads to public trust in government. One of the ways governments might try to gain favor with their citizens is the provision of public goods, which is considered economically efficient as well as morally necessary (Anomaly 2015). In modern liberal democracies, the relationship between citizens and their governments is influenced by myriad factors that shape how citizens perceive the state as well as the act of governance itself.
