The welfare system 

The social security in the United kingdom is run by the department of work and pensions agencies. It is funded by general taxation which will be taken from employers and workers over 16 years of age. The noteworthy about this department for the government is that it is the most expensive programme. The social security provides benefit and support to British people such as pregnant working women, old people who retired at 65 for men and 60 for women, or young unemployed people. Another problem that the social

security faces is poverty which is estimated to affect quarter of the population .Social security is expensive and might increase because the number of  people who rely on it are increasing.
