Family and Social Welfare

Family and social welfare refers to policies, programs, and services provided by governments or other institutions to support the well-being of families and individuals, especially those in vulnerable situations. This encompasses a broad range of areas including child care, elder care, family leave policies, poverty alleviation, social security, unemployment benefits, disability support, and more.

Voters may evaluate policies touching family and social welfare based on whether they expand or contract social welfare programs. They might look at proposed changes to existing programs, new initiatives aimed at addressing emerging challenges, or policies that impact the balance between work and family life.
