(IWSWFC 2016)
Ho Chi Minh City, 16th August, 2016
DESCRIPTION
In global life today, the process of socio-economic development has brought many positive impacts on family and children.However, the flip side of this process is the increasing of social concerns and problems such as environment pollution, migration, unemployment, domestic violence, trafficking in women and children, and the widening inequality leading to significant effects on the development of children and family functions. Therefore, it is necessary to find out solutions to improve social assistance and child protection policies, extension of service models and development of social work profession (SW).This effort will contribute to limit the negative impacts as well as create a safe environment for children, family happiness and social welfare in Vietnam in particular and generally worldwide. This workshop is designed to bring together policy-makers, scholars, researchers, academia, practitioners from across Vietnam and other regions in the world for a common platform.
