Child welfare is an indispensable part of every country’s social security system. In the social undertakings of every country, child welfare policies are also extremely important. The quality of child welfare policies not only affects the growth of children, but also has a subtle impact on the future of a country. Most Western countries have conducted research and implementation on child welfare earlier than China, placing greater emphasis on child welfare. China has a large population base and a large number of newborns born each year, making child welfare policies crucial. This article compares and analyzes the child welfare policies of China, the United Kingdom, and Japan, and draws inspiration from the relevant experiences of the UK and Japan for the development of child welfare in China.
