THE INTERPLAY OF SOCIAL POLICY, GOVERNANCE, AND SOCIAL INNOVATION IN ADDRESSING CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES

Abstract

This study looks at how social policy, governance, and social innovation work together to solve modern welfare problems. In numerous developing societies, conventional welfare systems frequently fail to address intricate social and economic challenges effectively. So, new ideas and good governance are becoming more and more important for making policies work better and making people happier. The research relies on primary data obtained via a structured questionnaire administered to university students. We used both printed questionnaires and online survey forms to make sure more people could take part. Using SPSS, the responses were coded and analyzed to find patterns and connections between the variables. The results show how important it is to work together and come up with new ways to deal with modern welfare problems. The research indicates that incorporating social innovation into policy frameworks can improve the efficacy of welfare programs and foster more inclusive and sustainable social development.
