Description
Social Policy by Hartley Dean provides a broad and in-depth exploration of how human societies provide for the wellbeing of their members. The book examines the fundamental questions of social policy, including who should take responsibility for providing support and how governments and peoples throughout the world address essential services such as healthcare and education. Hartley Dean's revised and updated third edition introduces social policy as a study of human wellbeing, looking at ways in which governments and individuals promote or neglect the things that make life worth living. The book considers the diverse economic, political and sociological dimensions of social policy, including the means of livelihood and intangible aspects of security. By understanding these elements, we can gain insight into the challenges facing social policy in a changing world. This edition offers a comprehensive analysis of human wellbeing, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of social policy.
