The article explores how changes in society affect social policies and their modernization. Social policy is shaped by the structure of a society and is influenced by economic policies. There is a distinction between declared social policy (what is promised) and real social policy (what actually happens). Social policy aims to provide stability and support for all members of society, but it may also reflect the interests of those in power. The development of social policy is closely tied to the government's goals and the social structure of a country.
