szociálisállamformáló

The term szociálisállamformáló, often translated as "social state-builder" or "architect of the social state," refers to a political actor, policy, or a set of ideas that actively shapes and develops the social welfare system within a state. It implies a deliberate and strategic effort to establish, expand, or reform social programs and institutions designed to provide a safety net for citizens, promote social equality, and ensure a certain standard of living.

The concept is closely linked to the development of the welfare state, particularly in the 20th century. Actors described as szociálisállamformáló might include politicians who champion social legislation, civil servants who design and implement social policies, or intellectual movements that advocate for greater social responsibility from the state. Their actions can encompass a wide range of initiatives, from establishing universal healthcare and education systems to implementing unemployment benefits, pensions, and housing support. The ultimate goal is to create a more just and equitable society by mitigating the adverse effects of market forces and providing collective security. The effectiveness and specific form of a szociálisállamformáló's work are often subjects of political debate, with varying perspectives on the appropriate scope and funding of social provisions.
