Abstract

Unlike generalized alleviation, targeted alleviation of poverty refers to the employment of scientific and effective programs to identify and support impoverished population and to manage supportive system in accordance with living condition and background of each household. Social work is an important way of poverty alleviation, and the philosophy and practices associated with social work match well with the principle and duty of targeted alleviation. Social work is advanced with its theory of entitlement, its goal of supporting the disadvantaged people and gaining autonomy, and its principle of individualized services based on needs. Social work is able to pinpoint the needy, empower them, and design solutions for sustainable growth.
