as one comes to modern society there are risks and social needs that were not there in pre-modern society . this makes the welfare state necessary.
The modernization changes coincide with the statement of:
1. a complex social structure in which the urban area prevails over the rural one, until the 2000s when the former prevails over the latter.
• This results in the loss of solidarity and identity.
• There are problems of apathy and little socialization in society, defined as self-protection against an excessive emotional stimulus (this is manifested above all in the metropolis, where one often feels alone in the midst of a crowd)
2. an increasingly based on the impersonality of relationships
• each of us has multiple identities and does not fully identify
• relationships of a formal, impersonal type
3. a political system based on the National State, a large-scale administrative political organization characterized by an idea of ​​nations.
• Fundamental prerequisite for the birth of the welfare state. because it presupposes that technical system which is social policies.
4. an economic system in which the allocation of resources largely depends more and more on the market and less and less on self-production.

LIMITS OF WELFARE STATE

 

In pre-modern society there was self-production.
today there are various risks regarding the market against which remedies are sought and answers are given with the process of commodification, a process that has brought the market to the first place for the satisfaction of needs.
On the impact of commodification we can understand what the welfare state is and what it is for, which is linked to economic processes.
