The meaning of "legitimate income" in the sentence

Hello

I have a question on the meaning of " legitimate income" in the sentence below. According to the definition of a dictionary, it can be translated in two ways. First, it means "fair, reasonable" Second, allowed by the law, lawful .

Which translation is more acceptable here?

Thank you in advance.


The purpose of its publication is to offer homeless people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income, that is, to “help them to help themselves” by hiring them as vendors of the magazine.
