Leaving care in Norway in a historic and current perspective
Care leavers need support in the transition to adulthood. Care leavers in Norway benefit from the universalistic and somewhat generous Nordic welfare model. However, this model is constructed to meet general needs identified in the whole population. More specific needs in smaller groups may not be so well planned for. The article discusses this dilemma in the light of two previously published articles by the author and two co‐authors, where the t…
Extended care
A comparison of state support for young people leaving care in Norway and Sweden
The aim of this article is to account for and discuss support to young care leavers within the comparable welfare regimes of Norway and Sweden and to explore key differences between these 2 countries. This model implies that children and young people are included and entitled to support through being family members, not as independent actors in their own right. This makes young care leaver's transition from care to adulthood problematic—as they o…
Which transition concept is useful for describing the process of young people leaving state care? A reflection on research and language
The transition of adolescents from state care to independent living is receiving increased research attention in many countries. Despite this interest, the concept of ‘transition’, though central, still remains relatively undeveloped. One main issue in comparative work is how we use language to define concepts as well as use them to analyse our findings and shape practice. ‘Transition’ over the last decade has become a key concept in the research…
From Superintendence to Transition and Self-determination. Historic View on Policies and Practice towards Norwegian Care-leavers
Leaving care services have been a feature of Norwegian child welfare legislation for more than a 100 years. This article traces the legislation and presents a discussion of these services. Three distinct periods can be identified, each with a dominant debate and policy orientation: the State’s need for control over the young people; the modern welfare state’s view that each child should be provided with services designed in the child’s best inter…
Out of home care in Norway and Sweden – similar and different
An overview of the current situation in the out-of-home care in Norway and Sweden is presented in this article; also the development in later years is described and discussed. Socially, politically and culturally there are few differences between Norway and Sweden. Child protection and out-of-home placement of children and young people are integrated parts in the welfare state that are shared by the Nordic countries. It is a model that builds on …
Dealing with the past in the transition from care. A post-structural analysis of young people's accounts
Exit from care – developing a perspective
Working with young people leaving care, we need to develop a new understanding of what their transition to independent life requires from child welfare workers. We can contribute to this by reflecting on the concepts used in the field: such reflections will be helpful when comparing leaving care issues across the world. Traditionally, child welfare work is based upon what could be called an "entrance" perspective. An alternative perspective is ba…
