Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the child welfare systems of ten foreign countries to identify their most humane, efficient, and cost-effective elements. The author argues that, while England was once the world leader in poor relief, other countries have implemented reforms that better protect the vulnerable and spend less money doing so. The author focuses on four key areas: state care for children, poor relief in Vienna, a penal workhouse in Austria, and poor relief in Berlin. In comparing each system's strengths and weaknesses, the author argues that the English system is in urgent need of modernization and reform. The book offers a wealth of insights for social workers, policymakers, and anyone interested in improving the lives of the poor and vulnerable.
