I know the roles of social workers are vital and yet we are not recognized by AS professionals, we work hard and yet with low income from all other professionals. We are in contact with the clients when they are poor, rich or in crisis but yet Not recognised. Our services are needed and yet we're underpaid.

Because it's been years sitting at home not getting a job after I have graduated. I am frustrated because the years are going, I am getting older and what frustrates me more is that most of the government posts advertised are specifying the age that the applicant mustn't be older than 35 years.

Social Work is a hugely undervalued and under recognized profession in South Africa. There is disparity in Social Workers salaries with the same qualifications. Social Workers are at risk due to dangerous work circumstances and emotional burnout and stress.
