Evidence Based Social Science in China Paper 1: The History and Development of Evidence Based Social Work in China

With the rise of the "New Public Management" movement in China, decision makers and public service providers are often required to do performance evaluations of public expenditures [1]. This crisis in what would be demanded of social workers in China parallels the theory offered by Okpych and Yu [2] as the prompt for new paradigms. Social work professionals in China realized that to guarantee their professional status, they must provide expert and effective services for their clients [2]. This governmental expectation in China corresponds to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 in the United States.
