Details
The general aim of this book is to describe and
analyse patterns of informal care and support for carers in Sweden. A typology of four different care
categories based on what carers do revealed that
women were much more likely than men to be involved
at the heavy end of caring, i.e. providing
personal care in combination with a variety of other
caring tasks. Men were more likely than women to
provide some kind of practical help The book also
examines whether the carer support that is provided
by municipalities and voluntary organizations in
Sweden is aimed directly or indirectly at caregivers
and discusses whether the Swedish government s
special financial investment in help for carers
actually led to any changes in the support provided
by municipalities and voluntary organisations. In
the fields of social planning and social work there
appears to be a need to clarify the aims of support
services for informal carers. How informal
caregivers and care recipients interact with the
care system as a whole is undeniably a fertile field
for further research.
