Abstract: In recent years, the workforce of social work professionals in Guangdong Province has seen a constant growth, and the number of social work organizations has been increasing rapidly. Meanwhile, the domain of service has been gradually expanding, the quality of service has been improving, the system of policy has taken shape, and government purchase of social work service is under way. Nevertheless, the development of social work professionals is still confronted with such problems as the asymmetry between quantity and quality, unbalanced distribution of professionals, mismatch between specialty and employment, and great mobility of personnel. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a sound, rational and efficient coordinating mechanism as well as a stable funding mechanism, and improve the training, evaluation, employment and incentive mechanism of social work professionals so as to promote the development of social work professionals in Guangdong Province.
