The term "welfare state" refers to a government system that provides social assistance to individuals in need, including children, the elderly, and the disabled. This type of system developed in response to the breakdown of traditional extended family networks during industrialization, which left many vulnerable individuals without support. While socialism may also involve government assistance programs, the term "socialist help system" is not commonly used and is less specific than "welfare state." An "international state" does not accurately describe a system of social welfare.
