Welfare in China and the UK

                                                                       
Welfare is different in diffrent countries. In Britain, social welfare are almost perfect, because its developed economy and it is a developed country.  In china, people’s welfare are not as well as Britain. However these two larger countries in world has some similarities and  some differences.
Firstly, some benefits which are existed in two counties are similar. For example, Chinese have housing benefit, sickness benefit, maternity benefit and death grants. However, British have also have these in Britain.
Secondly, old people have pension. In china, if a person who is too old to work has pension, they will receive some money for living. How much money they will get, it depends on city and the class of occupation. For example, in some big cities, although some people have low class, they have still more money( pension)than some small cities. In some small cities, some people have higher class of occupation, but they get as much as some people who live in big city and have ordinary job. Therefore, a person who lives in different city and has different class of occupation will get different pension, in Britain, old people have also pension, when a person has retired from their company, they will get pension every month.
Thirdly, unemployed people have benefits in china and Britain, in china, if people have unemployment from their company, they will get the lowest benefit for living, in Britain, unemployed people can benefit from the social security system.
In spite of these similarities, in a contrast, it has still some diffences between them. For example, every child have benefit from a child tax credit, it is 15pounds per week for the eldest child and 10 pounds for other children .however, children have no benefit in china unless children have commerce insurances.
Another example, every Britain have free medical treatment, but in china, a person who has medical insurances will have some free medical treatment, therefore, these are some differences between Britain and china.
In conclusion, welfare is differences and similarties, it maybe have more similarities in future, as it is estimated that 4.5 million children need financical help, government will decrease welfae on the poverty line in Britian, may be some benefits will reduce in future, therefore it will have more similarities between two countries.
