What does social welfare mean?

In a general abstract sense, welfare is all kinds of conditions that can make people live a happy life. It not only includes the protection and care that the human body should receive, but also includes various factors that affect the free development of human intelligence and spirit.

As a "social welfare", it transcends the individual category and requires people to consider and solve how to make people live a "good life" at the "social" level. It involves what kind of society helps people live happily and what kind of system and policy arrangements are needed to ensure their happiness.

The state provides funds and services to all citizens, aiming at ensuring a certain standard of living and improving the quality of life as much as possible. Social welfare in a broad sense mainly refers to social service undertakings and facilities.
