Social services are a range of public services intended to provide support and assistance towards particular groups, which commonly include the disadvantaged.^[1] They may be provided by individuals, private and independent organizations, or administered by a government agency.^[1] Social services are connected with the concept of welfare and the welfare state, as countries with large welfare programs often provide a wide range of social services.^[2] Social services are employed to address the wide range of needs of a society.^[2] Prior to industrialisation, the provision of social services was largely confined to private organisations and charities, with the extent of its coverage also limited.^[3] Social services are now generally regarded globally as a 'necessary function' of society and a mechanism through which governments may address societal issues.^[4]

The provision of social services by governments is linked to the belief of universal human rights, democratic principles, as well as religious and cultural values.^[5] The availability and coverage of social services varies significantly within societies.^[6]^[4] The main groups which social services is catered toward are: families, children, youths, elders, women, the sick, and the disabled.^[4] Social services consists of facilities and services such as: public education, welfare, infrastructure, mail, libraries, social work, food banks, universal health care, police, fire services, public transport and public housing.^[7]^[2]
