state provisioning
Definition
- The purpose of state provisioning of social welfare is to redistribute economic resources and thereby to increase social and economic equality among populations. This task has been pursued in two major ways by modern welfare states: by direct income transfers from government and by public services, such as health care, education, social services, housing, and so forth.
