Answer:
The welfare state is a form of government in which the state protects and promotes the economic and social well-being of the citizens, based upon the principles of equal opportunity, equitable distribution of wealth, and public responsibility for citizens unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life.[1] Sociologist T. H. Marshall described the modern welfare state as a distinctive combination of democracy, welfare, and capitalism.[2]
As a type of mixed economy, the welfare state funds the governmental institutions for health care and education along with direct benefits given to individual citizens.[3] Early features of the welfare state, such as public pensions and social insurance, developed from the 1880s onwards in industrializing Western countries.[4] The Great Depression, World War I and World War II have been characterized as important events that ushered in expansions of the welfare state.[4]
