In addition this may to spread scary for the public.

The government should help these by provide a job for them. However the public may argued because they still afraid from this people. Therefore, the everybody must support any one who did not have job or house to reduce the percentage of poverty and crime in the future.

Welfare

Globally, people interested in creating a welfare life to themselves and to their families. It is believed that the United Kingdom is one of the most countries which provide a welfare life to their citizens. The UK also is known as welfare state. According to Oxford Dictionary (2014) "A system whereby the state undertakes to protect the health and well-being of its citizens, especially those in financial or social need, by means of grants, pensions, and other benefits." It is believed that the UK provides benefits to their citizens such as pension and also supply a finical support to people such as, pregnant women and people who retired. This essay will look at the advantages and disadvantages of having this system.

First of all, pensions is one example of the benefits that is paid by the UK government to people when they reach the retirement age.This Money (2014) stated that The retirement age for women is 60 years old , and 65 years for men. Nevertheless, the UK government has increased the age of retirement to 68 for both gender, because the UK government argue that people live longer and could afford to work this is show that the pensions is not more affordable by the government(Gov.uk, 2014). However, it is argued that the new law of increasing the retirement age would not beneficial for some elderly, because it might cause health problems and these people will be more stress and under pressure.In addition, it is considered that the age of 65 is the ideal age to take a rest from working and retire, claim to retire is not just about pension and money, yet, people maybe would like much more time to enjoy their life and leave the stress of their jobs.

In the United kingdom, the government supply a finical support to pregnant women. NHS Choices (2014) said that once a lady being pregnant, it is allowed by the govenment to have up to 52 weeks off from work with full-paid salary. A pregnant lady under 18 get a fincal support and other support such as milk and baby powder(ibid).

Youth Unemployment in the UK

Nowadays, there are many young people who do not have job. According to Sellgren ( 2014 ) "As many as three quarters of a million young people in the UK may feel that they have nothing to live for", a study for the Prince's Trust charity claims. Then they going to sell the drugs ,steal or ask for money. According to Cohen (1995) " The first suggested that the rise in crime over the past 20 years is far more closely connected with the rise in mass unemployment than even left-wing commentators had previously believed." This may effects of the economic of the country because the percent of people who work for the country will decrease. Therefore the young people have a big role in developing the country.

However, every problem in this world have solution, that the government must support young people by afford them to finish their studies. This may help increase the rate of employment in the UK. It is recommended from families in the UK to help youth employment , this could solved the problem in the future.

Homelessness

Homelessness

Causes of homelessness?

There are many causes of homelessness, for example, when the children leave their family home to live alone without income. Some people have bad relationship with their parents who may be acting strangely because they are breaking up with their partners. War and conflict can also be causes of homelessness. These causes have resulted in Syria that some people loss their home and stay in tents.
Unemployment can also lead to the loss of a person's home because they did not have income to spend it of them self.
According to O'Connell.J.2004"Chronic illness is also common: many homeless people have hypertension, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, respiratory problems, and liver and renal disease."

Possible solutions to homelessness?

Firstly,the government and the corporate charity must work together to build especial building for work and hostel for a nominal fee.The building for work should be have many suction of craft ship ,because there are many of homelessness who are did not have finished their studies.On this case no body need to stay in street to ask foe money. On the other hand, when this people have job and salary,they can have place to sleep(hostel),they can buy a best quality of foods.But this solution maybe is unfair for normal people because,the normal people have to finished their studies and for job.
Secondly,the government should work with hospital centres to provide health care for homeless people.According to Cheung.A,Hwang.S.2004"Homeless people are at high risk for illness and have higher death rates than the general population." The reason stable of this issue is that,the most of homeless people are out side and this lead to diseases.Every body need to worm ear and clean place(house).As the result, the government and hospital centres must protect homeless people from illness.
