ABSTRACT<br/> Social-policy typically serves multiple goals: shortterm goals as well as longterm goals and symbolic goals as well as substantive ones. A major longterm substantive goal of social policy is to improve the quality of life. The effectiviness of policies in that respect is mostly a matter of faith.
