Social work education was reintroduced into China in 1988 by the Communist Party of China. Since then, many research studies have been initiated both in Chinese and English aimed at understanding the development of social work education and practice in Mainland China. However, a growing body of literature has not focused much on the students’ perspective and the challenges they face in social work education in contemporary China. In order to contribute to addressing this gap, the present study reports on qualitative interviews with a group of social work postgraduate (n = 33) students from five schools of social work covering Shandong, Shanghai and Beijing provinces in the country. The study finds that there are four major challenges for social work education in China: (i) the use of Western concepts in the Chinese context; (ii) a journey from the unknown to the known; (iii) first-generation learners; and (iv) the lack of professional identity.

Despite decades of practice and development, social work education in India is still Western-centric. Social work in India is still not well recognised: it does not have an accrediting body or professional recognition within the country. This study gives voice to a sample of social work students regarding some of the challenges they face, including the curriculum, pedagogy, recognition of the profession and the practicum. The study is based on interviews with students from five universities in India and includes concrete recommendations for improving the professional training of social work students.

This study attempts to cross-compare social work education, curriculum, research, fieldwork, and professional social work practices across India and Australia. It reviews the development of social work education along with its best practices in both these countries. In doing so, it aims to understand the policies related to social work and social welfare in both the countries. In India, the social work training began in the year 1936 whereas in Australia, it started in 1940 with its launch in the University of Sydney. In Australia, the professional association called Australian Association for Social Work (AASW) accredits course work authority while in India it is the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC). Social work education in Australian universities is generic and its aim is to produce graduates with a broad range of skills in a considerable range of practice settings. India offers both generic and specialised course works. Interestingly, to date, social work in none of the countries has a registration in compliance with any state or federal agency. However, self-regulation alongside continued professional development, and peer supervisions are encouraged and followed. In Australia, the practice standards are maintained by the Australian Social Work Education and Accreditation Standards (ASWEAS) who also regulate and guide curriculum development for social work programs in Australia. Fieldwork placement of social and community work students are dependent on the voluntary good will of the managers of social service agencies to support and resource.

This paper discusses some innovative social work response to poverty in India at the community level promoted by volunteers and professional social workers alike. Three case studies in relation to poverty in India are reviewed and suggest that there is a great need for inclusion of specific content in social work training around poverty and working with poverty groups. Suggestions such as legal and regulatory framework for social work training and practice are also forwarded.

perspectives)?
Why do people migrate and what are the impacts of migration processes (i.e.,
causes and impacts on the micro, meso or macro level)?
What should be done, in terms of policy, social action and programmes to
improve the living conditions of migrants and to reduce inequality (i.e., what

The Series will consist of several volumes, but we will publish an individual call for
contributions to each volume separately. In this call for contribution, we are seeking
authors for the volume on Racial and Ethnic Inequality.
we
aim to address the following questions in this volume.
What are the social, cultural & structural explanations for racial and ethnic
inequality in various political-legal-economic systems across national and
international lines?
How can we measure racial and ethnic discrimination?
Why do racial and ethnic inequality continue to persist even when the legal
constitutions of democracy forbid their continuation?
What does the available data say about racial and ethnic inequalities in
different countries?
How do different societies across the globe tackle differential treatments with
regards to race, class and ethnicity?
If the pressure, mandates, and proclamations of multilateral institutions, suchas the United Nations, are inadequate to eradicate racial inequality in many
societies, then what must those societies do on their own in terms of social
policy and legal transformation to ensure just, equal, and equitable societies
which are becoming increasingly diverse and pluralistic?

This volume in the Springer Series in Social Work and Social Change is an effort to
examine the status of poverty, (in)equality and marginalization in societies across the globe.
The volume will make an attempt to gain insight into the impact of the pandemic and its
spread on economic, political and social life of people in different regions, while examining
the after-effects of these events on increasing inequality and poverty. We invite authors at
all levels of their career to explore the impact of COVID-19 on rising poverty, inequality and
marginalization within the context of their countries. We aim to produce this volume in line
with the Global Development Goals and the challenges that societies might experience in
achieving the SDGs after the outbreak of COVID-19 and beyond. We envisage this volume as
an important evidence-based reference work for policy makers and researchers to
understand the ground realities and practical examples related to poverty, inequality and
marginalization in a post-pandemic world.

This article reports on the result of an exploratory qualitative study with in-depth interviews conducted with postgraduate students in Chinese universities. The data were collected from five schools of social work, covering three provincial-level administrative regions of Beijing, Shanghai and Shandong. The principal aim of this article is to understand the development of social work and student perspectives on the government’s role in social work development and the function of social work in China. The study shows that Chinese social work is still developing, and the expansion and function of social work education and practice is mandated by the state. Despite a robust authoritarian hold by the government, the study finds hope among the graduate students about the mission and future of social work in China.

This article discusses social work educators’ perception of the challenges for social work education in India. Literature on social work education, including the curriculum, practice and pedagogy, provided the framework for the study. The study reported on the results of qualitative interviews conducted with 33 social work educators across five schools of social work located in three metropolitan cities in India ‒ New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. The study finds that there are four major challenges for social work education in India: (i) the problem of definition; (ii) the lack of a regulatory framework; (iii) diversity among the schools; (iv) the lack of professional identity.
