Problem
Inadequate response to societal needs
Experimental visualization of narrower problems
Other Names:
Unmet needsUnsatisfied needs
Claim:
Social service institutions are failing to deal with problems that are more complex and numerous than ever before. In many cases, their own bureaucratic organization may block the services they intend to deliver. In other instances, specialization narrows the field of services delivery. Efforts to demand accountability are generally only on a rather stop-gap basis.
