UPDATING THE SETTLEMENT HOUSE: A MODEL FOR DEVELOPING NATIONS

Abstract

The settlement house movement had its origins in the 19th century as members of the upper class in England and the United States sought to develop an institution under private auspices that would serve disadvantaged populations in urban settings. A new set of circumstances exists in the 20th century as developing nations accept this responsibility and seek means to serve their populations in both urban and rural settings.
