Abstract

Social Work commemorates this year, 2025, a century since its establishment as a discipline on our continent. The first School of Social Work was founded in Chile, in a context of reform and change that left a lasting imprint on the understanding of social issues, responding to phenomena such as poverty, precarious working conditions, migration, extreme inequalities, and problems related to access to housing and healthcare.
