Abstract: The emergence of new quality productivity represents a significant leap in productivity and is driving profound transformation across various sectors of society through disruptive technologies and methods. With the establishment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which serves as the main force in addressing social issues and meeting the needs of the people,the question of how the new local social work talent pool can achieve high-quality development in alignment with new quality productivity has become a prominent topic of discussion. Research has found that there is a bidirectional empowering coupling mechanism between the construction of social work talent and the development of new quality productivity. New quality productivity drives the iterative upgrading of the social work talent pool, while the social work talent pool supports the robust development of new quality productivity in practice, with high consistency in both developmental goals and value dimensions. In reality, the professional ecosystem of social work is continuously adapting to the development of new quality productivity. However, challenges remain, including a disconnect between the goals and content of social work talent development, insufficient support for building the talent pool, and ambiguous positioning of the talent pool. Therefore, it is essential to establish a cultivation positioning aimed at the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, construct a development mechanism centered on new quality productivity, and explore a practical path focused on “social work + digital intelligence” to promote the high-quality development of the new local social work talent pool.

Key words: new local social work, high quality, new-quality productive forces, empowerment
