The Welfare State

The Welfare State refers to a government system that provides essential services and support to its citizens, aiming to improve their well-being and reduce economic inequality. This typically includes programs such as healthcare, education, unemployment benefits, and social security. By ensuring that all individuals have access to basic needs and assistance, the Welfare State seeks to create a more equitable society, where citizens can achieve a minimum standard of living, regardless of their economic situation. The concept varies widely across different countries, balancing individual responsibility with collective support.
