Helen M Lisenring, Fordham University

Abstract

National social welfare programs have evolved in the Western world as a response to the changing social conditions of modern times. Social change activated in any era must make corresponding demands upon the interwoven social, political and economic institutions of the nation in which it occurs. Great Britain, the setting of this study, had by the mid-nineteenth century be- come a predominantly industrialized society. The interdependence of its citizens and the determining influence of the economic cycle upon social life was becoming increasingly evident throughout the Victorian era.
