What is the major of social work and what is the employment direction?

In order to let everyone know better what a social worker is, I have compiled the following contents.

What major does social worker belong to? Social work is a subject in which the government is the main body and social forces participate extensively. Social work, sociology and psychology are the main disciplines, property management, medicine and law are the auxiliary disciplines, helping others to help themselves is the core concept, and case work, group work and community work are the direct working methods.

Social workers aim to provide professional services for the case owner, help the case owner solve various problems arising from the interaction with the environment, help the case owner rebuild self-confidence, help solve difficulties and reintegrate into society.

The employment direction of social workers is suitable for civil affairs, women's federations, charities, social organizations, community service agencies, sub-district offices and company personnel departments. Generally speaking, the employment prospects are still relatively good.

At present, more than 200 colleges and universities in China offer social work majors, and the number of social workers trained each year is about 1 10,000. Although these people are far from enough according to social needs, in fact, only 10%-30% students have chosen the corresponding social work, and quite a few people have joined the work of institutions, enterprises and other units.

Social workers can engage in the service and management of social work in civil affairs, women's federations, the Communist Youth League, trade unions, health, justice, education and other systems and urban and rural community organizations, social organizations and social service institutions.

With the rapid development of China's economy and society, many social problems have also increased. It can be said that social workers involve a wide range, such as people engaged in patient psychological counseling in hospitals and people in judicial institutions who handle and mediate family disputes.

According to the development trend of "big market, small government" and referring to the "government purchasing services" policy being implemented in Shanghai (the government invites tenders to help community corrections personnel, drug addicts and problem teenagers return to society and other marginal groups), the above social work will eventually be separated from the law enforcement systems such as civil affairs, justice and health, which will provide a lot of social work opportunities.
