{"product_id":"social-work-in-east-asia-christian-aspalter-9781472413093","title":"Social Work in East Asia","description":"Owing to rapid economic development and the onset of population ageing, social work has become a major means of delivering social services and relieving and preventing social problems at an individual, family, and community level in East Asia. In addition to this, the number of activities undertaken by social welfare NGOs has risen a great deal throughout East Asia, resulting in a greater demand for professional social workers. With governments across the region having discovered the beneficial effects of professional social work for both social integration and social harmony, there is now greater support for the development of this academic discipline and profession. This groundbreaking volume explores the current state of development of social work provision across the region. It is the first book of its kind to investigate current and future trends, as well as the challenges and pitfalls of social work - one of the fastest-growing professions in East Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Aspalter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472413091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472413093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Christian Aspalter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065617297663,"sku":"9781472413093","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7358a3b0-0f38-4d3c-8a2f-1820a5e21d8b.jpg?v=1768676163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-work-in-east-asia-christian-aspalter-9781472413093","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
