  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Social Welfare in India and China

Abstract

Concluding chapter of this volume critically examines the impact of neoliberal policies on welfare provisions in both India and China. We argue that neoliberalism in both India and China resulted in disparities and unequal treatment of people than benefiting the people, further poor, marginalized and other weaker section of the society are most impacted by these economic policies. Going further the chapter outlines the similarities and differences in economic progress and the welfare provisions in India and China, then it outlines the challenges ahead of India and China in the social policy context. Finally, the chapter concludes with a concrete recommendation for policymakers, researchers and administrators in formulating inclusive social policies.
