Abstract

In this paper the preconditions of social care and social work are discussed from the point of view of globalisation and neo-liberal trends in social policy. Attention is paid to globalisation as such and on its influence on national economies, work life, social policy, social care service, and social work. The tradition of strong public agencies is still followed in Finland, but the market for private business in social welfare services is increasing.
