How is the salary of a social worker?

Social work benefits

1. At present, social work careers are springing up all over the country. The remuneration of social workers in various places has also been gradually improved. Among them, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou and other places have slightly higher salaries, around 3,500-4,500, because social work has received government attention and part of the expenses are paid by the government. In other cities, such as Beijing, Hangzhou, Wuhan and other places, the salary is generally around 1,000-2,000, and there is still much room for improvement in remuneration.
