Abstract
Traditional social welfare systems, which primarily focus on alleviating immediate hardships and providing assistance to the poor and disadvantaged, have increasingly come under scrutiny regarding their fiscal efficiency and effectiveness. Although such approaches were once effective, they have become less suited to address the challenges emerging from rapidly shifting economic and social contexts. These include transformations in mode of production, the rapid advancement of digital technologies, and significant demographic shifts to complete aged society. These changes have given rise to unprecedented social issues and heightened expectations that public welfare spending should actively contribute to economic development. In response, the concept of social investment welfare has been introduced as a new paradigm, emphasizing the role of social welfare in fostering human capital and promoting long-term economic growth. This model has been adopted across several European countries as a strategy to align social welfare with economic development objectives and to mitigate the fiscal burden on the state.
