Time, stress, and control in paratransit services: Older passengers’ experiences and strategies
Paratransit services support individuals with limited mobility by providing access to healthcare, errands, and social activities. While designed to be enabling, these services impose temporal demands that require the user’s active engagement, such as booking in time and coordinating with other support services. This study explores how older users experience and manage the temporal dimensions of Sweden’s paratransit services so they can live their…
Having It All’ and ‘Needing More’: Swedish Parents Negotiating Care Between Children and Grandparents
Swedish parents today raise their children in a welfare state, where childcare is both accessible and affordable, and often within dual-income households. At the same time, they have witnessed a challenged welfare state affected by cutbacks, privatizations, and the demands of an increasingly flexible working life. Previous research has shown that Swedish grandparents are more involved in their adult children’s family lives today, and that grandpa…
Proxy Parenting' and Creating a 'Golden Touch: Practices and Discourses of Intensive Grandparenting
Grandparents' involvement in their adult children's families has increased in recent decades, especially in relation to care arrangements around grandchildren. This 'new army of proxy parents' calls for the need to critically analyse grandparental care.

Grandchildhood: Care and relationality in narratives of three generations in Sweden

Interviews with 63 participants of both genders show how conditions for care-doings change in response to welfare state developments and in relation…
