Abstract: In the global anti-poverty campaign, social work is widely assigned an important action role. Although poverty has long been recognized as one of the key tasks to be solved by social work, what kind of professional strategy should be more effectively developed to fight against poverty is still a controversial issue and worthy of reflection. The two paradigms developed by traditional anti-poverty social work—the conservative paradigm and the structural paradigm—are facing more and more challenges in current situation. Anti-poverty social work has long been assumed to be depoliticized, decontextualized, and value-free, which ignores the deep impact of professional relationship on the people in poverty and anti-poverty activities. Focusing on the professional relationship between social workers and the poor, anti-poverty social work has shown the wane of traditional paradigms and the boom of new ideas.

Key words: poverty, anti-poverty work, professional relationship, poverty-perception paradigm
