Social welfare and social policies : standard study

Abstract EN

The article focuses on the study of the relationship between social policies and social welfare on the economic growth in Algeria in the long term.

After discussing the experimental and applied studies in the theoretical thesis on this subject, to achieve this goal we relied on a standard study using the test of the relationship of joint integration and correction model (ARDL) model, which was developed by Pesaran et al (2001), by studying a range of variables for Algeria for the period from 1970 to 2016.

The results obtained in the model of estimating the relationship between social policies and welfare on GDP per capita indicate the negative impact of expenditure on education and expenditure on employment on GDP per capita in the long run.

The effect of the other variables was positive, such as spending on the housing sector and Expenditure on the health sector.
