The walfare state in the UK

The welfare state is a system the country control many different aspects in the citizens life. According to Oxford (2014): System whereby the state undertakes to protect the health and well-being of its citizens, especially those in financial or social need.

Social security is when citizens lose their jobs or they are unemployment, and that is called the (dole). Also, low income worker, too old or unable to work, or if the woman is pregnant or have a child.

To get a child benefit the person should be responsible for a child under 16 and it is 20.30 £ a week. It seems that it is not enough because live requirements nowadays are too much. Osbore (2013) the Welfare payments account for around £120 billion of the £720 billion the Government spends each year on the benefits. This shows that the government acted on the benefits as much as possible for the people who needs.

 

In general all the British people must buy the VAT which is the (value added tax), the government take off 20% of their salary but it is not included on food or children clothes. It seems that it is unfair for the citizens regarding the immigrants, because they do not have to pay the taxes or rent a house if they are living in the UK and finishes working 13 weeks. In addition, National health insurance the British people pay for it by 33%. However the international people who are studying in the UK do not have to buy for it.
