Social welfare policy refers to the set of government programs and initiatives aimed at promoting the well-being and quality of life for individuals and communities. It involves the provision of various social services and benefits, such as healthcare, education, housing, income support, and assistance for vulnerable populations. The concept of social welfare policy is rooted in the belief that governments have a responsibility to ensure a basic standard of living and to address social inequalities. These policies are designed to alleviate poverty, reduce social exclusion, and promote social justice by redistributing resources and providing a safety net for those in need.
