Document Summary
Canadian authors working in the area of social policy and social welfare concentrate of the well-being of canadians through the public administration and management of social services and programs at federal, provincial, and municipal levels. To an important degree, each of these ends depends on community change efforts for its accomplishment. The institutional approach is based on a different set of assumptions: this approach sees welfare efforts as responses to shared social problems, these problems affect a large number of people in common, not on at a time. Services are the right of the service users, regardless of the degree of the problem. A third major view of social welfare is the developmental approach. Using this approach, delivery of services moves beyond a problem orientation. According to this view, it is possible for society to set up a social welfare institution simply to make living better and to fulfill human development, not necessarily to solve a problem.
