Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shadow welfare state refers to tax breaks, credits, deductions, and preferential tax rates that effectively subsidize social welfare, but do so in a less direct manner than traditional welfare programs. These mechanisms allow individuals and corporations to reduce their tax liabilities in ways that support social objectives, such as housing, health care, and retirement savings, without direct government spending.
