In some

countries

, financial support for the unproductive categories of

citizens

such

as the elderly, unemployed and disabled is the exclusive responsibility of

This

essay would discuss both systems and

also

take a stance on which is preferable. Many rich nations shoulder the financial needs of their vulnerable

citizens

. The support provided ranges from paying for healthcare,

provision

of food and housing, and

also

distribution of stipends to cater for other essential needs. Because these individuals have zero earning capabilities,

Furthermore

, most of the nations that engage in

this

act are mostly rich nations, like the United States and the United Kingdom. A good illustration is

Additionally

, it can be seen that these

countries

have excellent documentation of their

citizens

so it is easier for them to plan for their

people

.

Conversely

, in some other societies, financial aids to retirees and other financially dependent

citizens

fall on the

families

of these

people

. A number of factors may be the cause of

Firstly

, these

finds it difficult to give monetary or other forms of aid.

This

responsibility automatically becomes that of the

families

of these

citizens

. A good example is Nigeria, where no formal

assistance

is available to financially constrained

people

.

Secondly

, apart from being poor, some societies have poor documentation of their

citizens

.

Therefore

, making appropriate budgets that would cater for the less privileged is impossible. Ultimately, the responsibilities of care fall on the

families

of these

people

.

Such

societies are seen mostly in some African and Asian

countries

. After due consideration of both systems, I want to posit that, it is better when

government

provides financial

assistance

.

This

ensures that money, adequate healthcare, good food and housing are almost always available for a greater number of

category of

citizens

, given that most of them are already captured in the database.

Also

, the burden of care is removed from the individuals and

families

, because their care is the primary duty of the

society, tend to benefit more when their financial needs are handled by the

government

, compared to when it is done by their

families
