Writing a book with the central theme of Social Policy in the field of Social Welfare, during a period of rapid and violent contraction of the welfare state, is a challenging endeavor. This is because the numerous and varied consequences of the socio-economic crisis, which has affected Greece since 2010, are particularly noticeable - if not tragic - for the economically weak, the socially excluded, and generally the vulnerable categories of the population who largely depend on Social Services and Welfare benefits for their survival.
The basic policies for social welfare change from era to era and from country to country, but the issues they deal with are crucial and have been encountered since antiquity.
Social welfare policies aim to address critical and generally complex problems, for which there are no easy and simple solutions. The design and formation of social policy are often influenced by conflicting values, ideological approaches, political, religious, economic, and social parameters. At the center lies the critical question: what is society's responsibility for meeting the social needs of every individual? The institution of social welfare in every society concerns almost all citizens.
