- Description
- Examines the relationship between social work and health inequalities in the context of globalisation. Based on the work experiences and research of social workers from developing and developed countries, the volume demonstrates the relevance of health inequalities to social work practice and policy. The authors analyse barriers to good health that result from global social, economic, environmental and political trends. Further, they develop ideas on how social workers can act to combat negative effects of globalisation by adopting a 'health inequalities lens'.
