The creation and consolidation of the welfare state is one of the major chapters in the fight against inequality. Based on social cohesion, solidarity, and redistribution policies, it is supposed to offer universal and free access to health care and education, as well as a whole network of social services attending the basic needs of people and families with equity and equality of opportunity as its principles. However, the global crisis is undermining the principles and foundations of the welfare state, a phenomenon that is not new, since neoliberal ideological currents have tried to erode the model since its creation. Currently social policies are questioned, and the cutbacks and adjustment measures that are being implemented in many European countries are damaging the achievements in public policies. Within this context, social work plays a crucial role, while its challenges increase and become more complex.
