Analysis of the position of Iran's welfare state in welfare paradigms with an emphasis on legal standards and Legatum Report 2021 (from theory to practice)

Welfare regimes represent the set of welfare policies and programs of a country in the field of opinion and practice,which form the welfare structure of a country and for the very important goals of welfare,including the happiness and well-being of citizens, the development of society,and also the very wide effects that the lack of welfare components in societies have(such as injuries, deviance and crimes),has been the focus of social and criminal policy makers.In this article, by using the descriptive-analytical method, welfare structure based on upstream documents as a legal theory and perspective, as well as the country's welfare status in the international arena aswelfare practice and function are examined.And it is analyzed.The results of this research show that, on the one hand,the fundamental laws in Iran, despite the intensity and weakness of the welfare programs,indicate a relatively comprehensive view and the desire to implement the welfare state system of the social democratic type, and on the other hand, the state of welfare indicators in Legatum's report shows the very unfavorable state of welfare in the country and Iran's inappropriate position in the international and even regional arena.Also, the comparison of welfare indicators in the Legatum report shows that in terms of the welfare system, Iran is next to the less efficient informal supply countries.Therefore, there is a huge gap between what is introduced in theory as the welfare policies resulting from the basic laws and the practice that is the result of the current state of welfare in the country.
