Abstract

Social welfare and social well-being are two key concepts in the field of social services. Social welfare refers to the provision of basic and essential needs for life, such as adequate income, healthcare services, housing, education, and social security. This system acts as a safety net and is provided through tools like unemployment insurance and support organizations. Since social welfare is measurable, it is easy to analyze related statistics. Furthermore, social well-being focuses on the experiences and quality of life, addressing factors such as mental health, social relationships, civic participation, and opportunities for personal growth. The goal of this concept is to create a healthy and dynamic community where individuals not only survive but also thrive and enjoy life. Social well-being depends on factors that go beyond government services, and measuring it presents greater challenges. In summary, social welfare concentrates on meeting basic needs and maintaining essential conditions, while social well-being emphasizes quality and satisfaction in life.
