| Comment | Given the lack of kanji for つけ in the headword hits for this word could be from any of the つける verbs. Including the notorious 付ける entry.
If, for example, 付け始める was added as a headword there should presumably be the same 12 senses as for 付ける (only with "to start to ..." added to each). I don't really want to face that, so I would suggest removing this entry (it's covered by 付ける + 始める(sense 3)) |

| Comment | If this is really two senses then maybe it should be split up more like the above?
Tentatively you could call the following sense 1 特に約２０年前から、高福祉政策が経済的破綻につながったとされる北欧諸国が示すように、福祉の充実と国際競争力維持の両立は困難なものであると言える。 Especially over the last 20 years, the purported link between progressive welfare policies and economic failure in the Northern European countries seems to point to the difficulty of sustaining both full social welfare and international competitivity. 彼は福祉を受けて生活する人たちを軽蔑した。 He despised those who lived on welfare. 福祉の重要性はいくら強調してもしすぎるということはない。 The importance of welfare cannot be over-emphasized. 福祉は十分に行き渡っていないように思うんですけど。 I think welfare isn't enough to go around. 福祉予算を犠牲にして打ち上げられた人工衛星は、正常に動作しなかった。 The artificial satellite launched at the cost of the welfare budget did not work properly. And the rest sense 2 その団体は老人福祉に関わっている。 The organization is concerned with the welfare of the aged. ペニシリンは人類の福祉に大いに貢献した。 Penicillin has contributed much to the welfare of mankind. わたしたち学生も、地震の犠牲になった人たちの福祉のために寄付をしよう。わずかな金でも大いに役立とう。 Let us students contribute to the welfare of the victims of the earthquake; even loose change will go a long way. 公共の福祉のために働く。 I work for public welfare. 自分の国の人々の福祉に努力するのを自分の努めだと彼はみなしていた。 He looked upon it as his duty to see to the welfare of the people on his land. 人類の福祉のために。 For the welfare of humanity. 政府は公共福祉を促進するべきである。 The government should promote common welfare. 彼の政策は国民の福祉に重点を置く。 His policy puts the accent on national welfare. 彼は３０年間国民の福祉のために働いてきた。 He has worked for the welfare of his people for 30 years. But they're all "welfare". |
