WELFARE LAW

The course, which is part of the study path in Labor, Social Citizenship, Interculturality, aims to provide knowledge of the legislation on social security and welfare, with particular regard to the institutions that the State regulates in favour of workers and citizens in need.
Specifically, the teaching aims to deepen the characteristics of the national welfare system and its main legal institutions, which are instrumental in orienting oneself within the field of social services.

Attendance and active participation in the activities offered on the course and individual study will allow students to:

- apply this knowledge to face and resolve, with independent ability to evaluate, specific problems, posed in their professional career;
