Elderly Care Puzzles in Stockholm: <i>Strategies on formal and informal markets</i>

Abstract: In "ageing Europe", there have been widespread developments aimed at the privatisation of elderly care. In tandem, the demand for private domestic services is expanding all over Europe, and elderly citizens are a major part of this demand. Simultaneously, migrant women are increasingly considered the solution to the labour force deficit in the wake of the "care crisis". This article explores the dual privatisation process in the context of New Public Management reforms and glocalisation in Stockholm/Sweden: na… Show more

“…It has been argued that as foreign domestic workers have a different language and culture from the inhabitants of their host country or city (e.g. Hong Kong) or from the care recipients (Ayalon et al., 2012; Gavanas, 2013), this could affect their ability to comprehend, interpret, filter, judge and evaluate the health information that they have accessed (Sørensen et al., 2012). These abilities are related to the level to which they have incorporated the cultural patterns of Hong Kong (Ciampa et al., 2013), referred to as acculturation (Satia‐Abouta et al., 2002).…”

“…In 2012, 37 per cent of the recipients of home help in Denmark used a private provider (Szebehely & Meagher, , p. 244), which makes it crucial to study more deeply the importance of the specific institutional context of market‐based versus publicly provided care for the importance of both policy principles. Are private companies more prone to provide consumer‐oriented care and downplay help to self‐help, as indicated by experiences from Stockholm (Gavanas, )? Future research needs to attune itself more to the specificities of care in a particular field, for example elder care, in order to understand how political principles are shaped by the institutional context they are translated into, and how they in turn shape the logics in the care provided.…”

“…However, as a substantial international research literature demonstrates, paid domestic and care work in private households is by no means disappearing, but thriving across Europe and globally (see, for example, Anderson, 2000;Cox, 2004;Jokela, 2015; The use of private household services has become an increasingly popular option in the Nordic countries as a means to cover for shortages in eldercare services, to provide 'flexibility' in childcare for dualearner families or as a means to pay for more free time with the family by transferring the burden of domestic work to other people (e.g. Bikova, 2017;Fjell, 2010;Gavanas, 2010Gavanas, , 2013Kristensen, 2016;Näre, 2016;Platzer, 2006). Simultaneously, however, Nordic countries continue to have well-subsidized public provision for childcare, as well as relatively good public options for eldercare.…”
