This article presents an introduction to the articles published in the April 01, 1976 issue of the periodical "International Social Work." One article deals with some general or even universal issues of welfare analysis and welfare practice. Another article addresses generic social work practice, emanating from the Australian experience but potentially useful in all parts of the world where the movement toward generic social work is increasing. One article deals with the world wide problem of the under-use of women in social development. An article reports on social welfare problems, practices and issues in several parts of Asia, India and Hong Kong. Finally, one article describes and compares abortion policies and practices in China and the Soviet Union. But there is still to discover about existing and emerging welfare policies, programs and practices in countries of Africa and Asia.
