Public policy determines social welfare by delineating how resources are allocated and services provided to citizens. Policies addressing healthcare, education, housing, and employment directly impact individuals' quality of life. By prioritizing investments in social programs, governments can enhance well-being and access to opportunities. The effectiveness of public policies in improving social welfare depends on their inclusivity and responsiveness to community needs. Conversely, inadequate policies can exacerbate inequality and hardship. Thus, public policy plays a critical role in shaping a society's social fabric and ensuring a minimum standard of living for its citizens.
