Conclusion

Social workers have been offering considerable assistance to members of the public who need financial aid and support in their daily lives. In fact, they have given their clients both material and moral support.

The social changes in Hong Kong have brought about various problems, e.g., aging population, adaptation of the new arrivals and teenage gangs. While there is an increasing demand for social work personnel, the availability of job vacancies in the social work profession mainly depends on government subvention. The prospects of the career in this field are therefore to be determined by government policies and allocation of resources in the future.

In view of this, those who are interested or serving in the field should properly equip themselves so as to enhance their competitiveness. To do so, they should make more contact with people, take more training in communication skills and keep an eye on what is happening around us to keep abreast of the latest development in society.
