Abstract
An emerging global consciousness and rising attention given to international social work
development has seen the recognition of comparative research within the profession.
Understanding the functioning and organisation of social work within various country contexts
is critical in order to formulate knowledge around its overall impact, successes and challenges,
allowing social workers to learn from one another and build professional consolidation. The
profession is mapped out in 10 countries, reflecting on its structure, identity and development.
Although the profession is developing globally, it is also experiencing significant challenges. Key
insights, conclusions and recommendations for future research are presented.
