Care work in changing welfare states: Nordic care workers’ experiences
Home care for older people in Sweden: A universal model in transition
One aspect of universalism in Swedish eldercare services is that publicly financed and publicly provided services have been both affordable for the poor and attractive enough to be preferred by the middle class. This article identifies two trends in home care for older people in Sweden: a decline in the coverage of publicly funded services and their increasing marketisation. We explore the mechanisms behind these trends by reviewing policy docume…
One Uniform Welfare State or a Multitude of Welfare Municipalities? The Evolution of Local Variation in Swedish Elder Care
The Nordic welfare states, including Sweden, have an inbuilt dilemma between two main principles: universalism and local autonomy. The concept of ‘welfare municipalities’ has been used to characterize the social policy construction of independent local authorities implementing national welfare policies. The aim of the article is to study the evolution of the balance between universal, centralized versus local, decentralized principles in Swedish …

Inequality in the welfare state? Local variation in care of the elderly – the case of Sweden
This article uses Sweden as an example to describe and analyse municipal variation in services and care for elderly people. Responsibility for these services lies with the municipalities. National statistical data on municipalities are analysed to map out the variations in old‐age care; to study compensating factors in the care system; and to explore the connection with municipal structural and political conditions. The overall finding of the biv…
From poorhouse overseer to production manager: One hundred years of old-age care in Sweden reflected in the development of an occupation

The main sources that have been researched are public and educational documents as well as articles from the occupation's professional journal. Development through different periods is described. During the first decades of the century, supervisors…
