Social change affects all quarters of life and human society
whether in individual neighbourhoods, communities or nations, or in
the world as a whole - encompassing many issues of gender, age,
social class and ethnicity. This book examines both the conceptual
as well as operational aspects of social transformation and social
development. It examines societal transformation at the individual,
group, community, national and international levels using a range
of case studies from Singapore, Asia and around the world. The four
parts of this book highlight the challenges of social development;
issues concerning workforce and migration; welfare, women and
social care; as well as, community development and capacity
building. Social development and social transformation are
presented as intertwined concepts that affect citizens in profound
ways from social care to social well-being, construction of social
relationship as well as community life, capacity building and
nation building.
