Welfare states is mainly the government which helps to give the protection and the

that can occur like the old age, accident, illness and many more. The governmental institutions
are being funded from the welfare states as the mere motive of them is to help all the individuals
and the states and treat them with equality so as to maintain the public responsibility.
Before welfare 1834 As in the reform time when their seems that all the parishes at the
magnitude of the population changes did not made any social change and the magnitudes in the
reform were their by not changes. The poor were diversely affected from all the fertility,
mobility and also through the employment that has made them to face huge difficulties in their
work.
In order to maintain the needy and for the welfare there has been made the poor law
amendment act 1834. this act is made in 14 August 1834, from the parliamentary Act of the
united kingdom and has been granted by the assent from the royal commission in order to
operate the poor laws(Chapman and et. al., 2020) The main aim of the poor law act was to make
ensure that all the poor were be made in the workhouses, should get all the basic amenities and

all the children who are being drawn in the work houses should opt to get the schooling and the
education facility. Through this law the cost that is meant for looking pertains to be same for all
the people working and also tends to be same in the country. In order to supervise all the persons
in the company there has been made that the poor law frames and dig out all the methods and the
supervision of the person being working in the workhouse as they are getting the proper facility
or not(Chapman and Withers 2019). This act consolidates and maintained a huge change in the
country as it implies that the main reason behind formulating this act is to maintain and clear t all
the social and the integral nature of change which imparts to maintain the financial support to the
family and also thee children should get the proper facility of getting the education. Although
this act keep an eye on the supervision and on the working of the poor so there should not be
made any ill treatment with them.
The two main principles on which the Poor law commission has emphasised are the: Less eligibility- In order to maintain all the person to be free from all the binding and the
independent labourer program is being made. The workhouse test- their was no relief being given to the workers that are being
working outside the workhouse test. All the workhouse areas are concerned in the better
culture and their implies that the inmates should better facilities and this considered out to
make it out in all the ordinary labour with the reception and providing the incentive to
pauperism.

also attained the power of working, and the important local government act is being made
thorough which the local authorities are enacted and all the hospitals get the duty to take care of

This term was used with an attempt to break from legacy of Poor law in order to establish
the new universal system. The concept of welfare states was only going to offer the support for
everyone as the right(Smithson and Gibson 2017). The 1942 Beveridge report proposed the
system of the national insurance which is based on three assumptions that includes family
allowance, full employment and national health service. There were several measures introduced
before the system of welfare state. The report of Beveridge proposed the reforms to system of the
social welfare in order identify the giants which were recognised by William Beveridge. The five
giants on the road of construction includes want, ignorance, disease, idleness and squalor. The
welfare state involves the policies on social security, social insurance and the proposal for future
