Description

Is it true that social work at public health centers has fallen into a decline? If this is true, when and how has this form of social work gone into a decline? We performed this study with a target period designated using administrative material to evaluate the decline of social work at public health centers by examining the numbers of social workers and total workloads. The administrative material included the number of social workers and total workload at public health centers in Tokyo and other regions in Japan from around 1950 to around 1960. During this period, the total workload at public health centers tended to decrease, with a drop in Tokyo and in other regions in Japan to about 20% of its peak. It could not be concluded that the number of social workers also declined based on the available information. Therefore, the “decline” of social work at public health centers was confirmed based only on the total workload.
