Again looking at the table in Appendix A: pick two programs to compare and contrast. One program should be a good model of a social insurance program; the other should be a good model of a public assistance program. Using at least three of the six dimensions of structural characteristics, explain how these programs differ from one another – and why you code one program a social insurance program and the other public assistance.
*Note: public assistance programs are generally thought to reflect the philosophical tenets of the Residual welfare state model, whereas Social Insurance programs are generally thought to reflect the philosophical tenets of the Institutional model.
