工业主义理论认为,社会保障的发展与福利国家的产生是经济增长及相关经济社会结构变迁的产物。此种“工业主义逻辑”从结构功能主义角度出发,将工业化、城镇化及以此引致的家庭、社会结构的变迁视为社会保障发展的动力。国家为因生产体制变迁而演进的社会风险,建立起各类社会保障项目, Industrialist theory holds that the development of social security and the emergence of welfare states are the product of economic growth and changes in the related economic and social structures. From the perspective of structural functionalism, this kind of “industrialist logic” considers industrialization, urbanization and the resulting changes in family and social structures as the driving force behind the development of social security. The state has set up various types of social security programs for the social risks that evolve due to changes in the production system.
