Relación Sociedad Civil- Estado para la gestión de Políticas Sociales: ¿un campo ocupacional consolidado para Trabajo Social?

The aim o goal of this article is to analyze the occupational field of Social Work generated from the transfer of public resources to Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for the implementation of Social Policies, which implies a joint management modality where the employer is the CSO although the funds are provided by the State. The paper starts from an initial question about whether this is a consolidated field to professional practice, confining the analysis to a specific type of transfer given the complexity and diversity of this modality of social policies management. Initially is presented the context of appearance that allows the construction of the social actor who will act directly in the labour market as an employer to later focus the analysis of the occupational space of Social Work in the CAIF Plan. We conclude that some aspects of the development of the Plan show an occupational space in development and with some consolidation, but in turn, the low time dedication accounts for a precarious occupational field, with difficulties for the accumulation of those working in the field, which does not contribute to the achievement of a specialization in the area of work.

Abstract

The aim o goal of this article is to analyze the occupational field of Social Work generated from the transfer of public resources to Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for the implementation of Social Policies, which implies a joint management modality where the employer is the CSO although the funds are provided by the State. The paper starts from an initial question about whether this is a consolidated field to professional practice, confining the analysis to a specific type of transfer given the complexity and diversity of this modality of social policies management. Initially is presented the context of appearance that allows the construction of the social actor who will act directly in the labour market as an employer to later focus the analysis of the occupational space of Social Work in the CAIF Plan. We conclude that some aspects of the development of the Plan show an occupational space in development and with some consolidation, but in turn, the low time dedication accounts for a precarious occupational field, with difficulties for the accumulation of those working in the field, which does not contribute to the achievement of a specialization in the area of work.
