Wang states that the purpose of social welfare is to help the disadvantaged. Besides providing them basic economic security, it should also help them achieve integration and acceptance into society. Even more important is that disadvantaged people be able to stand on their own, be active and positive, and not be dependent on welfare in the long run.
王順民表示，社會福利的目的在扶持弱勢者，除了保障最基本的經濟安全外，還應該有助於各群體彼此的整合和接納；更重要的，是讓弱勢者能夠努力站起來，重建自我成長的積極性，而不要長期依賴福利。
