Of course there is work to be done. The problem is usually getting someone to pay for it. You need to look at why people don't spend.

One obvious reason is when they don't have the money. Put money in the hands of people who need it and they will spend it, so the work gets done.

You mention various forms of work. Do you know they are more urgent than what people will spend their money on if given the choice? Maybe it's arrogant to assume you know better than them?

This is one of the most obvious points that too many miss.
