Abstract: | An alternative approach to traditionalad hoc methods of determining social worker positions is presented. It is based upon the collection of objective data and their inclusion in a mathematical formula. This apprach assures the employment of identical criteria and administrative procedures for the assignment of social workers' positions. It guarantees that for a given number of social work bureaux the assignment is equitable. The particular example presented is that of regional councils in Israel. The formula includes the variables: number of residents within each council's jurisdiction, and of community distress and distance travelled by social workers between the settlements of a council. |
