The institutional and residual approaches to social welfare are used to understand and implement social welfare policies. The institutional approach views social welfare as a necessary part of society. It gives the idea that social welfare programs should be universally accessible and provided to all citizens as a right. This approach emphasizes the role of the government in making sure of the well-being of it's citizens through better social policies. The main idea is that social welfare is a fundamental aspect of a well-functioning society and should be able to prevent many problems before they arise. The residual approach to social welfare is more selective and reactive. It considers social welfare as a safety net for those are in serious need and cannot support themselves through other means. It is mainly based on the idea that individuals should primarily rely on their own resources (such as family, community, etc.), with the government only stepping in as a last resort. This approach means it is only provided to those who meet a specific criteria, usually after their other resources have been exhausted. The main difference between these approaches mainly lie in their philosophy. The institutional approach is broad and inclusive by aiming to provide support to all citizens to help prevent issues. While the residual approach is narrow and targeted by focusing on providing support only when absolutely necessary. Since both approaches have different ideas and limitations, the choice between the two depends on the specific context and goals of the social welfare system. A balanced approach of both may be often the most effective in addressing the diverse needs of a population. Different problems can lead themselves to different approaches. Widespread issues such as healthcare and education may be better approached using an institutional approach to ensure universal access. However, in specific crises or emergences such as natural disasters, a residual approach may be more effective by targeting assistance to those most affected. Segal, E. & Gerdes, K. & Steiner, S.
