Abstract

This article contributes to the debate on the implications for Social Work of new discourses and intervention strategies regarding employment policies in Spain. It also presents an analysis of conflicts arising from ideological orientations, which accompanies protocols of professional intervention. Furthermore, it aims to revise the construction of discourse that floods occupation policies from the perspective of social work, and deepen the impact of these discourses in professional intervention. This research implements a qualitative approach through a desk study, direct observation. Finally, some proposals are presented to help improving the answer to the users of counseling and unemployment services as well as focusing unemployment studies on to analyze the social structure rather than emphasize individual problems.
