The Intervention of Social Work Against the Governance of Sustainability: Review, Analysis and Discussion From 1976 to 2022

Abstract

The purpose of the work was to review, analyze and discuss the epistemic, contextual and interventional origins of Social Work in the face of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). A documentary, systematic, retrospective and prospective study of the profession and its competitive advantage observed in the intervention or translation of social needs for the construction of public policy was carried out. Sources indexed to national repositories were reviewed: Latindex, Redalyc and Scielo considering the period from 1976 to 2022 through the search by keywords. An asymmetry was found between the SDGs and the social demands that the profession identifies as ungovernability. In relation to the state of the art, lines of study related to a prospective of the discipline are proposed.
