% of GDP in social expenditures in OECD states, 2013 >30% 25-30% 20-25% 0-20%A welfare state is a concept of government in which the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens. It is based on the principles of equality of opportunity, equitable distribution of wealth, and public responsibility for those unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life. The general term may cover a variety of forms of economic and social organization.[1] The sociologist T.H. Marshall described the modern welfare state as a distinctive combination ofdemocracy, welfare, and capitalism.[2]Modern welfare states include the Nordic countries, such as Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland[3] which employ a system known as the Nordic model. Esping-Andersen classified the most developed welfare state systems into three categories; Social Democratic, Conservative, and Liberal.[4]The welfare state involves a transfer of funds from the state, to the services provided (i.e., healthcare, education, etc.), as well as directly to individuals ("benefits"). It is funded through redistributionist taxation and is often referred to as a type of "mixed economy".[5]Such taxation usually includes a larger income tax for people with higher incomes, called a progressive tax. This helps to reduce the income gap between the rich and poor.[6][7][8]
Society refers to the group of people who share their cultural aspects such as dress, language, artistic forms, norms of behavior and thoughts. Whereas, welfare refers to the safety, health, prosperity, and happiness. A wrong thought that hovers is that when society changes then only the other person will change. However, it is not so when until and unless the students don't behave well and study the class will not be referred to as a good class. Similarly when the people living in society don't change society will not change or progress.
In order to change others, the change begins from oneself and I need to change myself in a loving and good person. When one changes the other also change and leads to change in whole society. Therefore, the welfare of my society depends on my well being.
