Book excerpt: Social Welfare Policy and Administration In most developed countries, welfare is largely provided by the government, in addition to charities, informal social groups, religious groups, and inter-governmental organizations. Welfare can take a variety of forms, such as monetary payments, subsidies and vouchers, or housing assistance. Welfare systems differ from country to country, but Welfare is commonly provided to individuals who are unemployed, those with illness or disability, the elderly, those with dependent children, and veterans. A person’s eligibility for welfare may also be constrained by means of testing or other conditions. Social policy aims to improve human welfare and to meet human needs for education, health, housing and social security. Important areas of social policy are the welfare state, social security, unemployment insurance, environmental policy, pensions, health care, social housing, social care, child protection, social exclusion, education policy, crime and criminal justice. State social welfare policy is a big and meaty topic for political science research, but it is hardly an extraordinary one. There is no special reason to believe that the behaviour of the various political actors –executives, legislators, judges, bureaucrats, journalists, activists, citizens involved in the states’ social welfare policies will differ in any substantial way from the behaviour of those involved in policy at the national level, or within different policy domains at the state level. Political actors, acting upon incentives and goals within institutional frameworks, determine state social welfare policy. The present book has been planned in such a way to give an overall view of this subject.
