摘要

摘要 尽管社会工作一直致力于社会公正和平等,但在美国,社会工作仍然是收入最低的职业之一。这个问题最终上升到了侵犯从业者及其服务对象经济人权的高度。此外,与所有其他职业相比,社会工作者中女性和有色人种妇女的比例最高,这就提出了更多与性别、种族和民族不平等有关的侵犯人权问题。社会工作教授的薪酬通常比社会工作从业人员高得多,他们有道义责任通过研究和宣传来提高人们的认识,并倡导提高从业人员的薪酬。本文介绍了提高社会工作者的薪酬如何能够同时提高女性和有色人种女性的薪酬,以及提高为社会工作者所服务的弱势群体提供服务的水平。文章还就社会工作教授可以采取哪些具体措施来帮助提高从业人员的工资,从而增强人权提出了其他建议。

Low Pay for Social Workers is a Human Rights Violation, and Social Work Professors Must Help to Change It

Abstract

Despite an unending commitment to social justice and equality, social work remains among the lowest paid professions in the United States (U.S.). This issue ultimately rises to the level of an economic human rights violation for both practitioners and their clients. Furthermore, since social workers consist of among the highest rates of women and women of color in the field compared to all other professions, this raises additional questions about human rights violations related to the gender, racial, and ethnic inequalities. Social work professors, who typically make much higher salaries than social work practitioners, have a moral responsibility to raise awareness and advocate for higher pay for practitioners, through both their research and advocacy. This article describes how increases in pay for social workers could simultaneously improve pay for women and women of color and improve the level of services provided to the disadvantaged populations to whom social workers are of service. Additional suggestions are made on what specifically social work professors can do to help increases wages for practitioners and therefore increase human rights.

期刊介绍: This journal offers an outlet for articles that support social work as a human rights profession. It brings together knowledge about addressing human rights in practice, research, policy, and advocacy as well as teaching about human rights from around the globe. Articles explore the history of social work as a human rights profession; familiarize participants on how to advance human rights using the human rights documents from the United Nations; present the types of monitoring and assessment that takes place internationally and within the U.S.; demonstrate rights-based practice approaches and techniques; and facilitate discussion of the implications of human rights tools and the framework for social work practice.
