CUTBACKS IN SOCIAL SERVICES — SOCIAL WORKERS' PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Social services in most western democracies find themselves in recent years in the midst of diminishing public resources due to economic, demographic and political changes. Phenomena such as slowed economic growth, inflation, unemployment, and the exhaustion of public treasuries have become the daily diet of a number of Western countries (Specht, 1981; Norsworthy et al., 1979; Hakim, 1982).
