From the beginning of the nineteenth century industrialization and the rise of civil society created a new framework for human welfare: the fact that poverty caused by nature was replaced by poverty caused by social deprivation brought up the need for appropriate ideas and solutions that expanded the range of regional or national welfare strategies into an international perspective. “Social welfare” is not only the old‐fashioned term for social work, but is also the more general term: social welfare continues to include in most parts of the world programs that promote the general welfare (e.g., social security) and involves other professions as well as social work. This entry details the main changes in the field of social welfare through the development and discussions of its international organizations
