Social Exclusion, Pandemic and Social Policies in Spain: An Analysis from Social Work

ABSTRACT

This reflection article offers a framework for analytical reflection, from the perspective of social work, on the measures implemented to curb the impact of the pandemic in Spain. Starting from the situation prior to its arrival, we evaluated and examined its incidence and effects. The results show that the social policies implemented to improve the socio-economic and health conditions of the population play a decisive role. In this sense, it is essential to recognize the efforts of the group of social workers who carry out their professional practice with the aim of empowering the Spanish population in times of pandemic.
