Introduction to Social Legislation
Social Legislation, generic term used to denote the body of laws enacted in various countries, chiefly in the 19th and 20th centuries, to correct specific social and economic maladjustments
. In general, such laws are designed to raise the standard of living and the cultural level of the economically depressed
. In recent times social legislation has also been passed to aid segments of the general public affected by such economic vagaries as spiraling costs of living and increased unemployment.
Social legislation includes laws providing for public assistance to the indigent and the physically handicapped, unemployment insurance, old-age pensions, compensation payments to employees injured on the job, public educational systems, and slum clearance and public housing. Other examples of social legislation are laws prohibiting or limiting the employment of minors, establishing the minimum wage, and prohibiting discrimination because of race, religion, age, sex, or national origin."
