However, only in 2011, when the Law no. 292 of Social Work was issued, the framework for the activity of social workers in the rural communities was settled. Although the legislation provided a proper context for the unfolding of a meaningful social work in rural settings, the labor market was far from being able to absorb the great number of needed professionals. On the one hand, the paper intends to present the barriers that marked the beginning of social work in the Romanian rural space. On the other hand, the paper briefly describes the particularities and the opportunities for social work in the rural areas. Also, through the voice of professionals, the main social problems in the countryside are exposed and some possible interventions aiming at the improvement of the life conditions among the villagers are proposed. The study is based on 43 qualitativ...

Understanding the science and the language of public health and being able to communicate these understandings at all ecological levels are key to practising public health social work. In this chapter, Jonathan Dickens offers insights into the impact of COVID-19 in different welfare regimes and a model of state responses, the implications of which play out alongside pandemic politics and offer clarity to the compelling global story of practice and innovation depicted in this book.

The research was exhaustive, on populations, cohorts of children from two county communities, nonequivalent in implementing the reform. The research design was a retrospective longitudinal one and the investigation strategy was evaluation research focused on outcomes through the analysis of administrative data of public interest. In the context of the same social policy and single national strategy, the decisions made at county level have determined different outcomes of the professional foster family care. There are discrepancies between the goals declared by the government and the final realities from each analyzed community.
