A study by the OECD found that the U.S. spends less on social benefits such as healthcare, housing, and unemployment support as a percentage of its GDP than other countries in the organization. In comparison, Europe and other rich democracies tend to have more robust and expansive social safety net systems that cover a greater percentage of the population.
