SOCIAL POLICY AND DEVELOPMENT - A PRIMER (ePub)

ISBN: 978-3-7554-0996-0

Welcome to the perspicuous edition of Social Policy and Development. This easy-to-understand edition is a recommended must-have for every student of social policy. This book delivers a quick insight into the basics of social policy, planning, allied development, and the currents affairs of the subject. 

Social policy is a practical subject. It aids in understanding the systemic role of community builders and social workers in building a welfare state and the process of obliteration of social evils. It equips the learner to gain insight into the international efforts to tackle social upheavals.

Though poverty eradication is an ideal goal, it is still a much worked-upon goal. Poverty alleviating shibboleths such as philanthropy, social service schemes, social reforms, reformative policies, etc, seem fatuous yielding exiguous results. This book will help students conclude on the anomalies in the field of the social service sector that can be regulated with strategic partnerships and ethic-infused prioritized channelization of resources and appropriately devised practical social policies. 

Much has been done in the past and much is still being done. The question remains would we reach an ideal place of social perfection? That remains a question till this decade, and it seems to me that it will always remain a question!
