European social model in making : European Commission reporting on Romania between 1999-2006
2007
The European Union is often described as being an economic giant but a political dwarf. True enough, the European project started with economics, but has gone a long way since the time that it was only about economy. In Europe, there are obviously many different types of social models and welfare regimes. In addition to national models and regimes, there is an ongoing process at the European level that can be characterised as a search for “European social model”. This process involves both the institutions of the European Union as well as the member states. Political (and economic) battle that is being waged concentrates on what “European social model” should look like and who gets to defin…
Reconstructing Care Professionalism in Finland
2015
The public sector plays a special role in the Nordic welfare states through its commitment to the principle of universalism, and in relation to social security and publicly funded services in education, health and care (Rostgaard 2002). In the 21st century, the impact of economic austerity on public resources and a rapid aging of the population have forced welfare states to undergo an extreme reform. In Finland, the reform has meant streamlining the state, restraining public expenditure and recalibrating the universalistic ideals behind the Nordic welfare state model, as well as introducing new management models (Pollitt & Bouckaert 2011). The managerial reforms implemented in Finland have …

Hoivan finansialisaatio vanhuspalveluissa
2022
Julkisesti rahoitetut hoivapalvelut ovat aiempaa riippuvaisempia markkinoista ja kansainvälisestä pääomasta. Finansialisaatio asettaa hoivan järjestämiselle hoivan logiikan vastaisia ehtoja. Samalla se muuttaa julkisen talouden, hyvinvointivaltion ja yksityisen voiton tavoittelun suhteita ja rapauttaa demokratiaa häivyttämällä päätöksenteon läpinäkyvyyttä. nonPeerReviewed
Palveluohjaus määrittää muistisairaan läheisten palvelujen saamista - aikuiset lapset puolisoita heikommassa asemassa
2021
Läheisten rooli muistisairaiden hoivaajina on jo nyt merkittävä, ja se tulee kasvamaan. Muistisairaudet yleistyvät pitkäikäisyyden lisääntyessä, ja vanhushoivapolitiikassa painotetaan kotona asumista. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään muistisairaan puolisoille ja aikuisille lapsille tarjottua tiedollista tukea, palveluohjausta ja palveluja. Lisäksi tarkastellaan, millainen yhteys eri taustatekijöillä on palvelujen tarjontaan, ja miten saatu tieto ja palveluohjaus vaikuttavat tarjottuihin palveluihin. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin muistisairaiden puolisoilta ja aikuisilta lapsilta sähköisellä Carer’s survey -kyselyllä. Aineiston analyysi osoittaa, että tietoa oli saatu rajallisesti ja puoliso…
Concluding remarks : a need for women-specific services
2021
The empirical findings presented in this book convincingly show that despite differences between the service systems and welfare state models in Finland, Canada, Israel, Slovenia, Spain and the UK, the difficulties that women face with the welfare service system and in their encounters with it have striking similarities. Women find it difficult to know how to apply for and receive the services, social support and protection they need to cope in the vulnerable situations they struggle with in their daily lives. They describe service systems as complex, fragmented and complicated, with no clear logic and rules about how to work with them. For these women, the systems look like ‘a jungle with …
Finnish welfare service system from the standpoint of women in vulnerable life situations
2020
In this chapter, the authors analyse how the Finnish welfare service system, as it consists of different institutions and professionals, meets or fails to meet the needs of women in varying vulnerable life situations. The participants are women with severe substance abuse problems, women sentenced for committing a crime and poor lone mothers living on basic social benefits. The findings show that women’s experiences of encounters with welfare professionals as well as their access to and use of the services share a number of characteristics. They described several barriers and problems related to the complexity of the service system. These included receiving only limited support for basic ne…
