Doing a good job in social work in the new era is of great significance for practicing the fundamental purpose of the Party, consolidating the grassroots foundation of national governance, and further stimulating and enhancing social vitality. General Secretary Xi Jinping recently issued important instructions on social work, emphasizing the unwavering commitment to the path of socialist social governance with Chinese characteristics and the improvement of the social work system and mechanism. The social work system and mechanism are institutional systems that ensure the effective operation of social work and promote the orderly development of the social work cause. Only by establishing a scientifically mature social work system and mechanism can we effectively coordinate various forces, motivate and guide social workers to leverage their professional advantages, complete various social work tasks, and promote the high-quality development of social work. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the research on the social work system and mechanism, and provide theoretical support for improving the social work system and mechanism and doing a good job in social work in the new era. The ideology and practice of social work in our country have existed since ancient times. For example, in the Book of Rites, it is said that "the elderly should have a sense of purpose, the strong should be useful, the young should have their strengths, and those who are reserved, widowed, isolated, single, or disabled should be taken care of", depicting a picture of socialized protection for people's lives. The people-oriented and benevolent ideas in excellent traditional Chinese culture, as well as activities such as the six policies of interest preservation and social warehousing in Chinese history, are all ideas and practices that reflect elements of social work. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the civil affairs departments and mass organizations such as the Communist Youth League, trade unions, and women's federations have all undertaken social work functions to varying degrees. At the same time, urban enterprises, institutions, and rural collective economic organizations have carried out mass work to jointly help disadvantaged members of society solve problems in production and life. This institutional mechanism was in line with the social conditions at that time and played an important role in social life. After the reform and opening up, China achieved a historic transformation from a highly centralized planned economy system to a vibrant socialist market economy system, which put forward new requirements for the development of social work. In 1987, the Ministry of Civil Affairs organized the "Social Work Education Development Demonstration Conference" and established the Social Work Education Research Center; In 1988, the National Education Commission approved the establishment of social work and management majors in universities such as Peking University; In 1991, the China Association of Social Workers was established; In 1994, the China Association for Social Work Education was established; In 2006, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed the construction of a grand social work talent team. Under the promotion of various parties, the cultivation of social work talents in China has accelerated, and the social work system and mechanism have gradually been established, promoting the active role of social work in safeguarding and improving people's livelihoods, promoting social fairness and justice, and other aspects. The entry of socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era has put forward new and higher requirements for the development of social work in our country. Our party strengthens systematic planning and top-level design. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to innovate the social governance system, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build a social governance pattern of co construction, co governance and sharing, and the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made strategic arrangements for improving the social governance system. The Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to establish the Central Social Work Department, and provincial, municipal, and county-level party committees established social work departments. This is a major reform of the Party's social work leadership system. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed reform measures such as improving the social work system and mechanism, strengthening the construction of the social worker team, fully reflecting the high attention of the Party Central Committee to social work. At the same time, the central government has issued opinions on strengthening the modernization of grassroots governance system and governance capacity, regulations on petition work, and opinions on strengthening the construction of community worker teams, providing institutional guarantees for doing a good job in social work in the new era. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the effectiveness of social work in China has been fully demonstrated in major battles such as poverty alleviation, epidemic prevention and control, and disaster relief. Overall, our party keeps pace with the times, deepens its understanding of social work, constantly enriches the connotation of social work, and continuously improves the social work system and mechanism. The current and future period is a critical period for comprehensively promoting the building of a strong country and national rejuvenation with Chinese path to modernization. Compared with the requirements of promoting Chinese path to modernization and the situation that China's social structure is undergoing profound changes, China's social work still needs to be further strengthened. Facing new situations and tasks, keeping pace with the times and deepening research on the social work system and mechanism can help promote new achievements in social work. Strengthen research on the comprehensive leadership of the Party over social work. Social work in the new era covers a wide range of fields and departments. Strengthening the comprehensive leadership of the Party over social work can not only promote various departments and organizations in related fields to actively play their advantages and roles, but also enhance overall coordination among them. To this end, research can be strengthened on how to improve the system and mechanism of the Party's comprehensive leadership over social work, how to give full play to the guiding and coordinating role of social work departments at all levels, and continuously improve the Party's ability and level of leading social work. Strengthen research around doing a good job in grassroots social work. Social work is widely faced with the masses, closely connected with the masses, and directly serves the masses. Most of it is carried out at the grassroots level and is an important component of grassroots governance. The quality of grassroots social work is closely related to the personal feelings of the people. At present, grassroots social work in China is mainly carried out through establishing social work organizations or positions in communities, setting up social work related departments or positions within enterprises and institutions, and relying on civil society work institutions to provide services. These methods each have their own characteristics, but they also face situations such as "small horses pulling big cars". To this end, research can be strengthened on how to further leverage existing advantages while addressing weaknesses. At the same time, it is necessary to timely summarize and sort out the good experiences and practices of various regions in adhering to and developing the new era's "Fengqiao experience" and making good use of the "four grassroots" system, and promote the construction of a dynamic and efficient new grassroots social governance system. Strengthen research on party building in emerging fields. With the development of China's socialist market economy, mixed ownership enterprises and non-public enterprises continue to grow, and new economic and social organizations emerge in large numbers. The number of new employment groups has reached 84 million, playing an increasingly important role in economic and social development. According to the changes of their business model, organization mode and personnel structure, promoting the organic integration of the construction of the party organization with the industry development and business development, attracting the party members and the masses in all fields and organizing them together is an important content of social work in the new era, which can form a joint force to promote Chinese path to modernization. To this end, it is necessary to explore effective ways to promote the party building work of "two enterprises and three new", conduct in-depth research on how to innovate party organization settings and working methods, enhance the political and organizational functions of party organizations, and strengthen the party's appeal, cohesion, and influence in emerging fields. Deepen research on building a strong social worker team and promoting the construction of a volunteer service system. To promote the high-quality development of social work in the new era, it is essential to build a specialized team of social workers. We can deepen research on improving the professional qualification system for social workers, perfecting the professional standards and title system for social workers. At the same time, we will strengthen the summary and refinement of social work practices in China, promote the construction of an independent knowledge system for social work in China, further expand the scope and content of social work disciplines, and improve the talent training system that combines industry, academia, and research. Volunteer service is a vivid practice of the Party guiding and mobilizing the people to contribute their wisdom and strength, create a better life, and achieve our goals in the new era. Strengthening research on how to improve the leadership system and working mechanism of volunteer service under the unified leadership of the Party committee, led by the social work department of the Party committee, and coordinated by relevant departments and mass organizations, and how to better cultivate volunteer culture and promote the spirit of volunteer service, can better promote the development of volunteer service in various fields and enable everyone to do their best.
