Social welfare dependency

Social welfare dependency occurs when individuals rely heavily on government assistance programs for their basic needs over an extended period. It can result from various factors such as unemployment, health issues, or lack of access to education and job opportunities. While these programs aim to support those in need, prolonged dependency may discourage engagement with employment or self-sufficiency. Addressing dependency involves providing resources that promote skill development, employment, and financial independence, helping individuals transition towards economic self-reliance and reducing long-term reliance on welfare systems.
