Abstract:
The emergence of the covid 19 pandemic brought a false explanation to the structural crisis of capital, which has been managed based on an offensive by capital against all the conquests of labor. In this context, the unprecedented extension of assistance, as a privileged mechanism to deal with the risk of desocialization and survival of large contingents expelled from the employment relationship, gains new legitimacy to the extent that its plasticity made it adequate to attend to the survival of new contingents affected for the pandemic. This context poses new challenges in the quest to expand the relative autonomy of the Social Work profession.
