Which of the following principles form the basis of Welfare State ?

  • A.Equality of opportunity
  • B.Equitable distribution of wealth
  • C.Public responsibility for those unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life
  • D.All the above

Answer: D

The basis of the welfare state is All the above.

A welfare state is one in which the state takes responsibility for the well-being of its citizens. Writers on the welfare state commonly name three principles. Equality of opportunity means everyone should have a fair start, especially through education and health. Equitable distribution of wealth means narrowing inequality through taxation and social spending. Public responsibility for those who cannot secure a minimum standard by themselves means the state provides social security for the old, sick, disabled and unemployed.

Each of options A, B and C is one of these principles, so choosing any single one leaves out the other two.
