Jean D. Triegaardt

University of Johannesburg, PO Box 524, Auckland Park, Johannesburg, SA 2006, South Africa, jtriegaardt{at}uj.ac.za

Globalization is affecting South Africa's sense of national identity and social policies. In spite of increasing social expenditure, poverty and unemployment continue at a high rate. Social work's response to poverty and unemployment is examined and it is suggested that a multiplicity of responses and interventions are required in the context of globalization.
