A higher grade means a greater ambition to involve PWD in decisions. O…

Nineteen managers from three Swedish municipalities from municipal, outsou…
Prerequisites for empowerment
Public sector reforms have expanded the number of subcontracted nursing homes in Europe. In Sweden, municipalities contract out nursing homes to various providers through procurement documents, while simultaneously striving for equality in care.

Consequently, this study has two aims: first, to investigate the prerequisites for empow…

Who took care of the so-called feeble-minded? What did this care consist of…

Women exposed to violence had less paid work, lower income and a higher risk of claiming means-tested income support. Exposure to violence resulted in long-term negative economic consequen…

Income and education as predictors of return to working life among younger stroke patients
The study demonstrates that education and income were independent predictors of returning to work among stroke patients during the first post-stroke years. Taking the relative risk of return to work among those in the higher socioeconomic positions as the benchmark, there may be considerable room for improvement among patients in lower socioeconomic strata
Balancing the global and the local
