Social work is work done for the welfare of the society. A social worker is a trained person who is paid to manage problems in society.
Social workers are employed to organise welfare and social care for people who cannot help themselves.
Training includes anthropology, economics, education, law, medicine, philosophy, politics, psychology, sociology and science.[1]
Over time, social work has changed. It was mostly a religious and charitable practice. Now it is more professional. It is less a private and volunteer activity and more a publicly funded, paid occupation.
