This article analyzes the forms, experiences and obstacles in cooperation between social work organizations and enterprises by questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews. It is concluded that they cooperate in three ways, “cooperation through activities”, “public welfare marketing campaigns” and “enterprises purchasing services from the organization”. The social work organizations gained unique experiences in the cooperation, such as orderly introducing cooperation parties, restraining the business impulse of enterprises for the public good, and establishing a process to manage the materials, personnel, and capital. The study also finds that the cooperation is hindered by inconsistent strategies, human resources, and demands between the organizations and companies, which makes it difficult for the organizations and enterprises to form an in-depth and diversified partnership. In face of the existing problems, measures should be taken to improve the development strategy of diversified cooperation and to shape a network of diversified cooperation organizations.

Through 16 case studies, it is found that the reconstruction level of returned migrant children’s resilience is mainly determined by five major factors—belief system, self-concept, ability to take action, feelings and emotions, and social support. This research distinguishes three reconstruction levels—transcendental reconstruction, balanced reconstruction and disordered reconstruction. The social work intervention should help these children build a stronger belief system to set clear goals, offer guidance for a positive self-concept to gain control of life, improve their ability to take action to become more self-disciplined, arouse their positive emotions to shape a stable internal environment of mentality, and make good use of peer group support to shape a nurturing external environment.

The elderly bereft of their only child often suffer from a deep and solidified crisis of “specialized” self-identity and “differentiated” collective identity after experiencing major traumatic events. The identity crisis has a negative effect on them and a huge impact on the quality of their later life. This study attempts to improve the ability of the elderly whose only child has passed away to cope with the identity crisis and rebuild their identity through social work intervention from the perspective of resilience. The article studies this social group alone in three social work services projects. It is found that through improving resilience, the elderly can mitigate the negative domino effect caused by the identity crisis, enhance their individual abilities and build a stronger supporting network so as to rebuild their identity.

Based on the survey data from 510 migrant children in Guangzhou, this article explores the direct impact of social capital on their subjective well-being, and further examines the mediating effect of perceived social support between social capital and subjective well-being. It has been found that grade, school type and whether migrant children live with their parents are related to their subjective well-being. Family social capital, school social capital and community social capital are direct factors. And perceived social support takes a mediation role between these three types of social capital and subjective well-being. The research suggests that social workers should pay attention to migrant children who are upper primary students, study in private schools or do not live with their parents. In the context of regular epidemic prevention and control measures, efforts should be made to boost migrant children’s subjective well-being. For instance, social workers should build a multi-dimensional system of social capital, strengthen the interaction between different systems, improve children’s social connection and enhance their adaptability to the environment.

There’s high emotional involvement in social workers’ labor process. However, domestic studies on social workers’ emotional labor is far from enough, while existing overseas studies focus on the client-worker relationship. In the professional social work practice, the emotional labor of this group is shown as a conflicting emotional experience that is caused by the mixture of stress and gain, the diverse emotional management that consists of surface acting with “inertia” and “fuzziness” and deep acting based on the professional value and guideline, and emotional adjustment social workers tend to conduct through body techniques, cognitive techniques and social techniques. Exploring the complexity of social workers’ emotional labor can help eliminate what people “take for granted”. Meanwhile, it enlightens us to consider how to promote self-care, organizational care and policy care in social work.

Young migrant workers living in distress face difficulties with their children’s preschool education. It is hard for parents to take care of the children, seek daycare services from the community, and obtain support from grandparents and they only have access to basic preschool education services. From the perspective of the family education resources, it is found that the dilemma is caused by dual negative influences of the parents’ lack of educational resources, imprecise and inadequate implementation of policies supporting preschool education, an insufficient supply of publicly beneficial childcare services in the community, and fragmented operation of social work projects for children. We suggest improving penetrability of the joint help mechanism by linking and building stronger “five elements in the community” (communities, social organizations, social workers, social resources and community autonomy institutions). With the focus on the original family and the childcare environment in the community, we can help the migrant workers accumulate and tap the family educational resources by embedding in the environment, connecting the relationship, increasing resilience and improving all-round competence. We should advocate a child-centered parenting style, and increase resources of these families in preschool education to shape a childcare-friendly education environment.

Social empowerment is an essential symbol of high-quality development in society. Through investigations on four groups- rural-urban, urban-urban and high-tech floating population and registered urban residents, a low level of social empowerment of mobile population can be found. They are lack of vocational training, marginalized in political affairs and insufficiently engaged in social issues, which is quite different from that of urban residents. Social empowerment has a remarkable impact on the floating population’s willingness to settle in the city, with the strongest effect on high-tech migrants and weakest on rural-urban migrating population. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a diversified system of vocational skill training, promote organized political participation, facilitate organizational engagement and promote involvement in public welfare activities. Besides, the floating population should be endowed with equal rights of participation and speech in economic, social and political affairs to become a part of the city.

The article analyzes access to opportunities for social organizations to participate in social governance from the perspective of the institutional environment. Moreover, it attempts to conduct a dynamic analysis of the institutional environment, focusing on two main subjects involved in the institutional implementation:The government and social organizations, especially on the access to participation formed in their interaction. Opportunities for social organizations to be engaged in social governance are mainly from the government’s empowerment by creating institutional space and the initiative of social organizations through multiple strategies, including compliance, cooperation, negotiation and even confrontation. Continuous acquisition of such opportunities requires urgently the formation of a powerful joint force from the external force provided by the government and the internal force of social organizations. The joint force depends not only on their “common interests” and self-engagement competence of social organizations, but also on the improvement of the institutional environment amid their virtuous interaction.

Amid the spread of the “Internet +”, smart senior care will become a new model to respond to population aging and meet the growing demand for elderly care services. Rural areas in the whole country are aging fast. Therefore, it is urgent to adopt smart senior care to meet the elders’ needs. Based on the research of its application in 6 rural areas in Z Province, it has been found that the model helps improve their living standard. However, there are still difficulties, for example, rural elderly’s unfamiliarity with smart facilities, the lack of institutional professionals and “the focus on the scale rather than quality” during the introduction of service by the government. This article suggests implementing the model in rural areas by improving professionals’ training system, building a service network and establishing an urban-rural integration platform.

Positive welfare system is the institutionalized guarantee of people’s well-being. Human risk caused by the spatial turn of mining migrants — an important part of project-affected migrants - is an unavoidable practical problem. We observed the mining migration in E Banner of Inner Mongolia. The migrants were provided with plentiful cash welfare, but what is missing is the reflection on building a positive welfare system that clarifies the rights and responsibilities of all parties, improves its ability, and develops people’s risk awareness. By presenting how mining migrants faced the change from traditional to modern life and production in the social transformation, this article examines multiple dilemmas of risk faced by mining migrants because of all parties’ unclear rights and responsibilities, ineffective moral mechanism, individual autonomy’s purposeless needs and lack of reflective ability. As a coupling strategy to mitigate the risk of mining migration, building a positive welfare system is all about the interaction between mining migrants and the government, enterprises and social organizations. This article explores the possibility of building a multi-dimensional positive welfare system that helps the migrants swift from receiving help to self-help. The system will balance rights and responsibilities, cultivate solidarity and cooperation, and transform exclusion to inclusion. This will be a reasonable attempt to help mining migrants cope with real risks and build a sustainable future life.
