In addition to the instruction of and research on Social Policy and Social Work, the scope of our work includes participation in social affairs. Social Policy Social Policy as an academic discipline as well as research on social policy are both concerned with the provision and securing of welfare in society. Social policy takes a stand on the changes in society that have an impact on the preconditions of welfare. These changes are connected with basic societal issues concering social rights, power, social equity, equality and inequality. Economic and political ideologies and social structures have an impact on social policy.
Social policy is interested in the relationship between people and their environment and nature.
Ultimately, social policy is concerned with questions of human life, i.e., good life, and consequently, with questions of good society and a good world, as well as with social values and ethics. Social policy is also practice. In this system, the state is the most important actor practising social policy. The international economy requires that the labour force be flexible and adaptable. The impact of the European Union on the lives of the citizens of EU countries is significant.
