Why Do We Need It? Co- P roduction in Elderly Care According to Local Actors in Norway
User perspectives on the role of local services in promoting labor market participation of people with chronic illnesses
How do local Norwegian work, welfare, and health services (WWH services) support the labor market integration of chronically ill people? We discuss how user organization representatives evaluate the role of municipal-level service support in facilitating labor market participation of people with chronic illnesses and disabilities, and to what extent the views of user organizations are requested and included in local service development. We thus c…
Consequences of prioritisation within long-term care in Denmark, England and Norway
Prioritisation concerns choosing something before something else, and in a welfare state context, this is about decisions on distribution, redistribution and rationing. This article investigates consequences of prioritisation within long-term care in Denmark, England and Norway. Analysing interviews with policy actors and policy documents, we find that prioritising home care, combined with increasing targeting of help and restricting institutiona…
Justifying pension reforms
The latest UK and Norwegian state pension reforms have reflected contrasting policy design in the balance of private pensions, savings and state provision. Nevertheless, we argue that both governments have in many ways adopted strikingly similar approaches in seeking public acceptance of these potentially controversial reforms, employing a similar repertoire of discursive elements to persuade populations about their logic and rationality. Based o…

The Shark Jaw and the Elevator
Based on the retrenchment literature, Norway is an unlikely candidate for comprehensive pension reform because of its unique economic situation, with a steadily growing petroleum fund and substantial tax revenues flowing into the public coffers. Thus, politicians should encounter difficulty convincing the electorate and strong interest groups of the need for reform. Nevertheless, reform did occur in Norway, and reform justifications faced surpris…
The Role of International Organizations in Social Policy
Ideas and policies on active ageing in Norway and the UK
This article raises two questions: first, which active ageing ideas and policies/programmes can be identified in Norway and the UK? Second, do the two countries act differently, and if so why? The analysis is divided into four parts. First, we formulate an institutional framework for analysing active ageing policies. We then briefly map the demographic and social challenges in both Norway and the UK. The third part presents an empirical descripti…
The Battle of Future Pensions
This article examines the role of concepts and accounting techniques in shaping the debate and policy solutions on pensions. These concepts have been diffused around the world by epistemic communities, attaining global status as a means of describing the future financing burden of public pay-as-you-go (PAYG) pension systems. The World Bank and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) have played vital roles in these processes of diffusion. The…
