social protection policies

Social protection policies are programs and measures designed by governments to support individuals and families in times of need. These policies aim to reduce poverty and inequality by providing financial assistance, healthcare, unemployment benefits, and social services. They help protect people from economic risks, such as losing a job or facing health issues, ensuring basic living standards. Examples include welfare programs, pensions for the elderly, and disability benefits. By promoting social security, these policies contribute to a healthier, more stable society where individuals can thrive and participate fully in their communities.
