Another example of progressivism is the rise of the [[welfare state]] in [[Europe]], which saw the implementation of various social welfare programs such as [[universal healthcare]], old age pensions, and [[unemployment]] benefits. These measures aimed to provide a safety net for citizens, as well as to reduce [[poverty]] and inequality.

	In contrast to the old progressivism, modern progressivism has shifted its focus towards issues such as climate change, racial and gender equality, and economic inequality. This is due to the changing social and economic conditions of the 21st century, as well as the rise of new social movements such as [[Black Lives Matter]], [[#MeToo]], and the Climate Strike.		The origins of progressivism can be traced back to the late 19th century, when [[industrialization]] and urbanization led to the rise of a new working class. These groups were increasingly concerned about the negative effects of industrialization and urbanization on society, such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. As a result, they began to advocate for government intervention and reform in order to address these issues.
