Unemployment subsidies, for example, are a part of the social safety net. If one loses a job, the unemployment subsidies paid for by the government allows one to eke out a living while looking for another job and trying to get back on their feet. Without them, the jobless may not be able to survive for long.
Health insurance is another example. It helps one pay the medical bills which may become enormously too large if the sick has to foot the bills all by themselves, especially in case of cancer or other chronic illnesses.
Pensions after retirement are another easy example. Without it, retired workers may not be able to live comfortably after a productive career.
Anyways, it’s easy to see how important it is to have a good social safety net. And it is important if we, both the government and the people as consumers, spend more in developing this particular area.
Right now, this country’s social safety net is not adequate, to say the least. Like a fish net, our social safety net has large holes in it. Take the retirement pension program, for example. Soon enough, they’ll be asking you to postpone retirement because the pension fund simply doesn’t have the money to pass around.
So therefore, the government will ask you to keep working – while the net knitters presumably keep working – instead of sleeping – on it.
Alright, here are media examples for us to see “social safety net” in use:
