PART B_2

The social welfare system offers public assistance to people with social life handicaps, including mothers with young children, people with mental and physical disabilities, and the elderly. Social welfare helps such people stay healthy, safe, and happy. By doing so, it plays an important role in both avoiding and helping poverty.

For instance, assistance for children includes providing some public schools, nurseries, and daycare facilities. Moreover, there is assistance for receiving care, employment support, and payments for those with disabilities. The government supports all people in living a healthy and independent life through social welfare.
