Urs Mühle

Urs Mühle is a Swiss social worker with nearly fifty years of experience in the field. He began his career in the early 1970s when social work was still in its infancy, primarily seen as a role for women. Throughout his career, he has witnessed and contributed to significant changes in the Swiss welfare system, advocating for the expansion of social services. However, as of recent, he expresses concerns about the direction of social welfare policies, particularly regarding the Swiss Conference for Social Welfare's plans to transform social assistance into a more comprehensive insurance system, which he believes deviates from its original purpose of providing basic support for essential needs.
