In the UK, there is a special department which runs the social security in Britain, called Department of Work and Pensions agencies. It is the most expensive programme and is financed from general taxation and contributions by employers and workers. The social security system is beneficial for the following groups which are pregnant women, unemployed people and people over 65.Particular; the NHS is an important part of the social security which provides free health care for all its resistances.
However, the significant difference between UK and China is the range of the social security system covered. In China, the social security system has not perfect enough and just cover those people who work for the government and the national enterprises and affairs organisation such as education system and hospital rather than all citizens.
