Rezensionen

"The 3-year period of COVID-19 pandemic has made a significant impact on the field of social welfare policy as well as social work practice and education by accelerating the speed of digital transformation. The digitization practice, as advocated in the name of 'e-welfare' in the Nordic countries and 'gerontechnology' in US and UK, had advanced to a higher level in terms of not only speed and quality but also scope and quantity. This book, a succinct summary of the 2022 World Social Welfare Conference in Seoul, covers important issues of improving efficiency and broadening citizen participation in the field of social welfare for a post pandemic society".

"This is the exact book I would like social policy practitioners, educators and students to read and challenge themselves to reflect on a practice setting transformed by pandemics, artificial Intelligence (AI) and geopolitical tensions that have strongly bred social inequalities. COVID 19 exposed us to the naked reality of deep rooted inequalities exacerbated by geopolitical tensions which has left the whole world heavily polarized. The book is remarkable and should be a must-read for all of us as it comes at the time when the social work profession is positioning itself to promoting and supporting efforts in co-designing and co-creating sustainable interventions".
