Welfare
Introduction to Welfare
Welfare, programs aimed at helping people unable to support themselves fully or earn a living. Welfare recipients include elderly people, people with mental or physical disabilities, and those needing help to support dependent children. People in the United States most commonly use the term welfare to refer to government-funded programs that provide economic support, goods, and services to unemployed or underemployed people. Professionals in the field of public policy and social work use the term social welfare in a broader sense to describe any program, either privately or publicly funded, that helps people to function more fully in society.
All developed nations maintain a variety of social welfare programs. Countries offer many such programs as rights of citizenship. Governments establish welfare systems to provide a so-called safety net to prevent people from suffering the effects of poverty. However, many people believe that welfare encourages its recipients to become dependent on government support and remain unemployed. As a result, welfare programs have always aroused heated public debate.” (1)

Literature Review on (Social Policy) Welfare and Social Security
In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Mark Carl Rom offers the following summary about the topic of (Social Policy) Welfare and Social Security: Social insurance and welfare have different purposes, serve dissimilar groups, and witness divergent politics. After a brief introduction to the distinction between social insurance and public assistance, this entry focuses on the policies and politics of social security, the largest social insurance program, and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), the most controversial of the public assistance programs.
