Abstract: In 2019, Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs set up a new department of children welfare, which is responsible for the overall design of the children welfare system. This will further illustrate that with the continuous improvement of China's social welfare system, children welfare has become one of the construction cores of the contemporary social welfare system, and the promotion and protection of children's rights is the key to social governance. Based on this context, the paper explores the integration system of the child welfare in four Western European countries (France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands), concerning the refined welfare benefits, government-led child services, complete child protection legislation, and the hierarchical child welfare standard. From a comparative perspective, the paper puts forward relevant policy suggestions on the shortage of supply and legislation of developmental children welfare in China at the present stage:in the existing children welfare system in China, the government could further improve professional teams at the grassroots level, strengthen children welfare legislation, and encourage the development of non-government social work agencies.

Key words: welfare society, child welfare, Western European countries, policy enlightenment
