Sport is a holistic tool for well-being, contributing to the physical, spiritual, social, and cultural development of individuals. Today, the benefits and individual aspects of sport, as well as its macro-level impact on social integration, social justice, and social inclusion, are increasingly important. With its macro-level impact, sport has become a fundamental component of social cohesion and inclusion policies within social policy. Sport at the societal level is directly related to the fundamental objectives of modern welfare states. The principles of social justice and equal opportunity make sports accessible to all segments of society. Encouraging disadvantaged groups to participate in sports supports their capacity to participate in social life, holding a crucial position in the effective and functional implementation of social inclusion policies and in fostering a sense of social belonging among disadvantaged groups. Sport as a Social Policy Tool and Its Impact on Welfare explores the impact of sports as a social policy and the spread of sports to the grassroots on welfare. It examines the impact of sports on disadvantaged groups, presents various welfare policies classified according to welfare regime typologies, and creates a sports-friendly index by establishing a relationship between sports investments and income tests, dependency, and life satisfaction. This book covers topics such as sports science, social services, and labor law, and is a useful resource for policymakers, medical and healthcare professionals, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
