Social policy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With company policy , all policies are referred to which the shaping and influencing a human society serve. On the one hand, it can be about the formation of basic civic attitudes with the means of education policy or, on the other hand, concrete political individual measures, which as a rule aim to eliminate discrimination against individual social groups. The best-known examples in this regard are the achievement of equality for women and the abolition of racism ; more recent examples concern, for example, the areas of equality for the disabled, homosexuals or the decriminalization of the consumption of narcotics ( drug policy ). A current field of social policy is also violence prevention .

term

It is controversial whether social policy is to be used synonymously with social policy or whether social policy is a sub-area of ​​social policy. In part, social policy is understood as that part of social policy that is geared towards socially weak groups in society. Others count direct and indirect social benefits as social policy, and non-monetary benefits from the social infrastructure that go beyond that as social policy.
