Abstract:

Modernization affects each section of society in different dimensions. As social problems vary, the states are forced to develop different policies in different areas of problems for each section. Women’s poverty, the care of the elderly, the addiction, the prevention of child neglect and abuse are social policy issues that the states focus on.
