Social work students’ risk assessment of neurodivergent children and adolescents
This study examined how 95 Danish social work students assessed the risk of neurodivergent children (autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) facing social issues later in life. We used the vignette method where all students studied the same cases, followed by each assessing the size of the risk of problems that each case would likely experience. Despite evaluating the same cases, their risk assessments varied widely an…
Social workers’ risk assessment in child protection
Social workers make risk assessments in accordance with their obligation to safeguard and protect children against neglect and abuse. To prevent serious problems, it is necessary to make assessments about the likelihood that social problems emerge in the first place. We investigated 57 Danish social workers’ risk assessments. We used the vignette methodology, setting up a fictitious case and asking respondents to assess two children’s risk of suf…
Are benefit reductions an effective activation strategy? The case of the lowest benefit recipients in Denmark
Decades of commitment to the basic principles of the Danish welfare state have been discarded with a new social policy reducing the benefits for people already at the bottom of the income ladder. The political intention is to increase job search via economic incentives that increase the gap between benefit income and market income. Using a panel dataset with benefit recipients, we show that the intended job search effect did not materialise to an…
Parents on Low Benefits - Coping with Poverty
We analyze coping strategies emerging as responses to relative poverty in families with children who receive the lowest benefits in Denmark. We use complementary theoretical perspectives, including Bourdieu’s theory of practice, Archer’s perspective on reflectivity as inner conversations, and Lazarus’ psychological views on coping. We focus on two very different families coping with poverty and show how the parents’ dispositions, the structured s…
Fattigdom og overlevelsesstrategier
Reduktionen af sociale ydelser til de i forvejen dårligst stillede i Danmark i perioden 2002 til 2011 bevirkede, at mange mennesker uventet blev kastet ud i dyb fattigdom. Individer og familier måtte planlægge og udvikle strategier for, hvordan den pludselig opståede mangelsituation skulle håndteres. I forskningsprojektet ”Konsekvenser af at have de laveste sociale ydelser som forsørgelsesgrundlag” har vi ud over at undersøge modtagernes økonomis…

Profession, holdning og habitus
Uoverensstemmelser mellem pædagoger og småbørnsforældre i daginstitutioner kan være afgørende for forældresamarbejdet, forældrenes tilfredshed og pædagogernes arbejdsliv. Sådanne uoverensstemmelser eller deciderede konflikter kan opstå af forskellige årsager. Særligt kan forskelle i gruppernes viden om børn, interessekonflikter og værdikonflikter gøre sig gældende. I denne artikel undersøger vi værdikonflikter mellem pædagoger og småbørnsforældre…
Fattigdommens årsager
Fattigdom har fået fornyet aktualitet, fordi andelen af fattige i Danmark er steget kraftigt siden 2001. Denne stigning falder tidsmæssigt sammen med indførelsen af de såkaldte ”fattigdomsydelser”. Det har gjort spørgsmålet om årsagerne til fattigdom påtrængende, fordi det er blevet hævdet, dels at det lave ydelsesniveau ville øge incitamentet til lønarbejde og således reducere fattigdommen, dels at det netop ville skabe fattigdom. Derfor forsøge…
