Citizenship Model of Social Welfare
The concept is based upon the work of 19th century
Economist 
Alfred Marshal’s 
hypothesis advanced by
T.H. Marshal 
in 
1963
. Alfred Marshal was of the
opinion that 
human equality
’ is associated with the
concept of full membership of a society or
community
, which is contingent on the 
individual’s
possessions of three sets of citizen rights
: 
Civil rights,
Political rights and Social rights. 
He has explained these
rights as

 Sociology at Crossroad
  Cf. Sullivan. 
Op. Cit

1.
Civil rights
; 
are those rights concerned with 
individual liberty
and include 
freedom
 of 
speech
 and 
thought
, the right to own
private 
property
 and the right to 
justice
;
2.
Political rights
; are
 primarily those rights of 
participation in
the political process of government
, either as an elector or as
an elected member of an assembly
;
3.
Social rights
; cover
 a whole range of rights from the right to
a modicum of 
economic security 
through to the right to share
in the heritage and living standards of a civilized society
.
Marshal sees state provided 
social welfare 
as a
part and parcel of the package of social rights
,
which are an 
element 
of the 
rights of citizenship
.
The 
first 
led to the establishment of 
legal institutions
.
The 
second 
to 
political institutions
.
The 
third 
to the institutionalization of 
welfare
[1]
 or
statutory welfare

Aim and Function of Social Welfare?
The 
aims and functions of social welfare 
under
this approach can be described as the 
material
equality through redistribution
.
Criticism
Experts like Crosland (1956),  
criticize 
this 
aim and function of social
welfare 
and assert that the aims and functions of state welfare are 
not
primarily those of 
equality 
through redistribution
[1]
.
According to him, Social equality cannot be held to be the ultimate purpose
of the social services rather, the 
aims
 are to provide 
relief of social distress*
and the correction of social needs.
Inequalities will be lessened as a result, but the creation of equality is, at
most, a subsidiary objective.
*lack of basic necessities
Relief
: public help in the form of money, food, clothing,
shelter, or medicine, provided to people who are
temporarily unable to care for themselves
