A social, or socioeconomic, model, is the value system associated with the structure of a nation's political economy. It usually involves public policies that affect the welfare of a country's citizens in the framework of a market or mixed economy. There are no set rules that define a social model, only loose definitions characterized by certain attributes.
Famous quotes containing the words social and/or model:
