Macro social work is the use of social work skills training and perspective to produce social change or social justice of some kind.[1] Macro social workers work in a variety of public institutions, including legislative (as elected officials and advocates), executive (as administrators, managers, researchers and experts) or judicial (as expert witnesses in courts) on federal, state, or local level. Macro social workers are also found in the private sector usually in executive positions in their respective organizations.

History

The inception of Macro social work in the United States (although it wasn't called by that name at the time) was with the advent of social work as an academic discipline itself. in the early 1900's , Jane Addams, the founder of the feminist movement, is generally accepted as the very first macro social worker. the feminist movement was the very first macro social work project in the united states.

Methods

The methods employed by macro social workers are aimed at accomplishing their stated goals. All "methods" are not the same, however, but rather change and evolve depending on the social, political, and economic climate within a given country or organization they are employed within.

Some methods include: advocacy, passing bills or laws (if the social worker is an elected official), persuasion skills, collective action, and partnering with non social workers who have a similar goal.
