Social welfare is a broader term that encompasses a range of programs and policies aimed at promoting the well-being of society as a whole, including public assistance programs. Public assistance specifically refers to government programs that provide financial aid or support to individuals or families in need, as part of the social welfare system.
Family welfare programs are social programs put in place by government in order to help low income families. They can include programs such as SNAP, which was once known as the food stamp program.
Residual social welfare views social welfare as a safety net for those who cannot support themselves through personal efforts or the market. Institutional social welfare views social welfare as a fundamental right and responsibility of the state to ensure the overall well-being of its citizens through comprehensive programs and services.
