Description
Summary:
Major socioeconomic developments during the last decades of the twentieth century and the beginning of the new millennium, and the consequent rapid expansion of private nonprofit health and welfare organisations, contributed greatly to the integration of social policy in macro social work practice. In this context, policy practice based on specific macro social work knowledge, values, and skills includes problem-solving intervention methods for human wellbeing. This transformation challenges and enhances social work's goals for both individual and societal development.
