Social Welfare Policies Questions
Social welfare policies address issues of income inequality by providing various forms of assistance and support to individuals and families with lower incomes. These policies aim to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, ensuring that everyone has access to basic necessities and opportunities for upward mobility. Social welfare programs such as income support, unemployment benefits, healthcare subsidies, and affordable housing initiatives help to alleviate poverty and provide a safety net for those in need. Additionally, social welfare policies often include progressive taxation systems that redistribute wealth by taxing higher-income individuals at higher rates, thereby reducing income inequality.
