SOCIAL POLICY
Question 1.
There are a lot of Universal factors that comes as benefits and services for the states to
follow regarding the type of welfare that they want to conduct. Everyone has the right to
universality and the services are open to be availed by the two categories of people- ‘old people’
and ‘children’. The idea of universality may be linked to certain issues that may demand the
development in the welfare activities performed by the state, like the 'institutional' and 'residual'
welfares (Clark and Inglehart, 2018). The ‘selectivity’ welfare policy helps to maintain the ideas
and express regarding the factor of mode of organizing the style or to classify the modes of
functioning and identify the way of implementation and application of the other policies like-
‘universal’, ‘institutional ‘and ‘residual’ welfares. The ‘institutional’ and ‘residual’ welfares are
the type of the principles and ‘universal’ and ‘selectivity’ are the methods; determining the
modes and the nature of the application of the welfare policies (Thane, 2016).
The health care services provided by the Swedish government is a very important and
crucial factor for the development of the country and upbringing the status of the country’s
welfare activities. It is linked with the universal attempt of generating the welfare programs for
the citizens of the country. Thus, the factors of implementation of the ideas are based on the
universal attempt to bring in stability in the country, and selective method of choosing or
analyzing the reason behind the functioning of the welfare policies (Bargain, 2017). Certain state
policies like the Public tender, Fee-for-service, etc. concentrate on the implementation of the
‘institutional’ and the ‘residual’ policies as well.

Question 2.
The Esping-Andersen's regime typology deals with the 'Three World of Welfare
Capitalism', which has been the influential contribution of the recent years to the comparative
welfare state research literature. According to the Esping-Andersen, there are three variants in
the welfare state, they are- social-democratic, a conservative, or as a liberal regime. The
conservative regime seems to be in the problematic category. The ‘three worlds’ emerge as the
Esping-Andersen solely focuses on the class conflict (Hendren and Sprung-Keyser, 2019).
The different types of social policies that are implemented in Sweden. The policies delve
into the improvement and developing the status of certain aspects of the state of Sweden and
improving the ideas and the standards of the various organizations as well. The development of
the situations are expected as not only there will be beneficial for the country but also it will help
in sustaining the lives of the citizens of the Sweden. The state policies has been classified into
certain categories like- education, social inclusion, health and families, pensions, integration,
safe living and global inequalities as well. In education policies and the social inclusion, there
has been a lot of constraints, like the gender and the racial gaps are essential factors that has
served as problems for the government (Robson, 2018). Whereas the policy of pensions and
integration of the state has been found to deal with various societal problems like de-
commodification in the market and in the economic background as well. Policies like those that
the idea of de-familiarization has been identified in certain government implemented state
policies regarding safe living and global inequalities as well.
