welfare/welfarist/welfarism

Something similar came up in this forum a while ago. See this Glossary entry - http://www.proz.com/?sp=ksearch

In you sentence, I would use "welfare" as an adjective - "the Government's welfare programmes". Welfarism/welfarist have extra political overtones that are not suitable for your context.
