social welfare

  

Definition

Total well being of the entire society. Social welfare is not measurable because it involves both objective and value judgments. It is not the same as standard of living but is more like quality of life that includes factors such as the quality of the environment (air, soil, water), level of crime, extent of drug abuse, availability of essential social services, as well as religious and spiritual aspects of life.
