Iterations of work inclusion beyond the standard service
Employment services are repeatedly criticised for building barriers to service user participation and decent employment due to combinations of conditionality, bureaucratic logics, high caseloads and scarce resources. However, a range of newer service approaches recognise some of these shortcomings, and aim for personalisation, service coordination, and/or increased connection to employers. In this article, we compare four programmes and their key…
Branding work inclusion
Purpose This article investigates how promotional strategies used by work inclusion organizations reflect broader shifts in the role of work within occupational rehabilitation and active labor market policies (ALMPs). By situating the analysis in the historical trajectory from sheltered workshops to governance-oriented models of inclusion, the study examines how branding practices, viewed through the lens of brand society theory, reshape represen…
Small Moments and Turning Points for Long-term Poor Families in Norway
This article contributes to the growing research field investigating intensive intervention programmes aimed at families with complex needs, focusing on the experiences of long-term poor families in Norway. There is a growing public concern about social inequalities in Norway, especially regarding child poverty and the negative effects of social and economic exclusion. The innovation project New Patterns is a means to compensate for the present s…
Welfare stigma in a social democratic welfare regime during a decade of national public debate
The aim of this article is to investigate how welfare stigma is produced and counteracted in the public sphere in a social democratic welfare regime. The Norwegian case represents a generous welfare state that historically has been thought to lessen and avoid stigma connected to welfare benefits. While studies have identified a hardening anti-welfare consensus and stigma production in liberal welfare regimes, we know less about how the connection…
The flexibility of family co-ordinators in complex family interventions
Complex family interventions represent innovative yet contested policy approaches to child poverty and their follow-up with families with complex needs laid down in several national policies. Across welfare state regime contexts, the role of the family co-ordinator is central to these approaches. This role and the work of co-ordinators in interaction with families, family members, and other services deserve further exploration to increase knowled…
Accountability in personalised Supported Employment-based activation services
This article explores the accountability experiences and orientations of frontline workers implementing personalised activation services in the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV). The study draws on observations and interviews (2021), with three teams of employment specialists using Supported Employment as an approach to personalised service provision, in a national programme called Extended Follow-up. Adopting the theoretical lens…
Economic composition and income volatility of Norwegian low-income families – a mixed method study of its implications
Background: There is a growing amount of research literature documenting increasing social inequality and an increase in the number of children growing up in families with persistently low income in all Scandinavian countries.However, there is a research gap on the issue of income composition; what the main income sources of low-income families are in relation to the families' position to the labour market and to the welfare state, and possible i…
Care Descriptions at Work
Forms and documents play significant roles in the context of care work for older people. One type of form that care workers use on a daily basis is individual care descriptions (ICDs). An ICD is a text that is written on a piece of paper or on a computer, and specifies the care tasks to be carried out. How do ICDs operate in local settings of care work for older people? Anchored in insights from institutional ethnography, I investigate care work …

The research focused on two aspects of political involvement among social workers.The first was the direct political involvement of social workers on behalf of their clients, and the second, the social workers' encouragement of their clients' involvement in political activity.The main purpose of the research was to identify the factors that explain these two types of political involvement among social workers.The data were collected by means of a…
The Welfare Subject in the “One-stop Shop”
The purpose of this article is to investigate the agency of “welfare subjects” in welfare encounters, situated in a “one-stop shop” reform context, thereby providing increased theoretical sensitivity into the field of welfare encounters’ research. Anchored in a Norwegian reform context, this article analyses agency related to welfare encounters, including welfare subjects’ attempts to hold NAV (the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) acc…
Digitalization, Street‐Level Bureaucracy and Welfare Users' Experiences
Internet/web‐based forms of communication have increasingly been implemented by welfare agencies. However, there have been few studies of the experiences of welfare service users and the consequences of new technology for welfare service users. To what extent is the new technology adopted by the Norwegian Welfare and Labour Organization (NAV) used, and how do the users apply and experience the new possibilities? Do screen‐to‐screen encounters rep…
Dementia Care Work Situated Between Professional and Regulatory Codes of Ethics
Safety, dignity and autonomy are keywords in care work for older people. Dementia, however, complicates the relationship between care workers and care receivers, in part because it affects memory, thought, perception, reasoning and speech. Thus it potentially influences the voice and consent competence of the individual. In such contexts, care work can become ethically challenging. This paper investigates how care workers in social care services …
Depicted welfare-recipient stereotypes in Norway and Denmark
Welfare recipients are continuously subjected to media debates and governmental campaigns drawing on images and symbols encouraging improved work ethic and individual responsibility. Only few studies, however, have analysed how welfare recipients as ‘othered’ citizens react to these often stereotypical symbols and images targeting them. In this study we have investigated how welfare recipients in Norway and Denmark, and caseworkers in Denmark, un…
Everyday interaction at the front-line
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide a sociological analysis of everyday interaction on the physical front line of the Norwegian welfare state. Design/methodology/approach - The data are from a short-term ethnographic study in the reception/waiting rooms of three local welfare offices. These are important sites for access to benefits and services. The focus is on the situational and interactional aspects: how do people behave and int…
