China has now experienced several decades of rapid economic development following the “reform and opening” that began in 1978. Yet, poverty, both urban and rural, is still a critical issue in China. This TateTalk will focus on urban poor families in Shanghai and how social work, an emerging profession in China, is engaged in improving their lives.
