“…Vender man blikket mod den internationale forskning, kan man iagttage, hvordan dele af den bakker op om vigtigheden af, at formulere klare aftaler om, hvem der gør hvad. Her påpeges det blandt andet, at netop manglen på klare forventninger og entydig rollefordeling mellem professionelle og frivillige ofte skaber forvirring og konflikter mellem de to grupper (Blix & Hamran, 2017;Skinner et al, 2020). Derfor anbefales det også her, at der på forhånd formuleres klare beskrivelser af de forskellige aktørers roller, så det klart fremgår, hvilke opgaver der er reserveret til de professionelle.…”

En vigtig del af offentlig ledelse er i dag at organisere samarbejdet med frivillige. Særligt har det offentlige fået øje på, at inddragelsen af frivillige kan udgøre et vigtigt bidrag til kommunernes udvikling af velfærden. Kommunerne står derfor i dag over for den udfordring, at finde frem til den bedste måde at organisere samarbejdet mellem de frivillige og kommunens ansatte. Artiklens hovedpointe er, at i bestræbelserne på at finde den rette form for samarbejde med de frivillige er det vigtigt, at ledelsen har blik for de modsætninger, der eksisterer mellem regler og værdier, og som altid har præget forsøg på at organisere den frivillige indsats. I stedet for at ignorere de mange modsætninger, der kan opstå mellem regler og værdier, skal ledelsen derfor tage ansvar for at skabe et kollektivt læringsmiljø, der kan øge organisationens evne til at reagere og håndtere komplekse situationer, hvor regler og værdier ikke nødvendigvis spiller sammen.

“…Spørsmål om frivillig arbeid i en Frivilligsentral var ikke en del av datamaterialet for denne studien, men siden hjelp eller omsorgsarbeid mot enkeltpersoner eller grupper er en del av Frivilligsentralens aktiviteter (Skinner, Lorentzen, Tingvold, Sortland, Andfossen & Jegermalm, 2018), blir Frivilligsentralen som samarbeidsaktør trukket inn i diskusjonen.…”

Although volunteers already contribute, more volunteers are wanted in the Norwegian care services. The authorities propose that new ways of interacting between public services and volunteers can produce innovation. Researchers within public innovation describe collaborative innovation as a strategy that includes different actors. The study thus seeks to answer the potential for collaborative innovation as a strategy for increased voluntary efforts in municipal care services. This will be further scrutinised by looking at who is involved in voluntary work today and who is not. By using data from a population survey of 4000 respondents, the article presents an overview of voluntary activity in Norway, emphasising the care sector. The study shows that the potential for collaborative innovation is present; however, facing the different actors, collaborative innovation as a strategy is deficient when representing an organisational level. Thus, the largest contributor in the current collaboration is excluded, since the informal caregivers are individuals operating independently of a group or organisation. Concerning future collaboration between various actors in the care services, it is important to realise that the largest resource is unorganised, hence informal structures must meet on informal premises, simply because they are volunteers.

“…Previous studies on the association between SES of caregivers and informal caregiving mainly focused on high-income countries and showed mixed results. Most of studies have indicated that caregivers with low SES may provide more informal caregiving [15][16][17][18][19][20]. By contrast, a study compared informal caregiving between Hungary, Poland and Slovenia, and found that high education was associated with a higher probability of being a caregiver in Poland, but there was no statistical difference in Hungary and Slovenia [21].…”

Background: Married female caregivers face a higher risk of informal care burden. There is no study to explore the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) among married female caregivers on informal care intensity in China. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine how the SES of married female caregivers affects the amount of informal care they provide for their parents/in-law in China.Methods: 8 waves of the China Health and Nutrition Survey were pooled, and that the selection comprised only those women whose parents/in law had a need for care and were living in the same city. Informal caregivers were divided into three categories: non-caregivers (0 hrs/week), low-intensity caregivers (less than 10 hrs/week), and high-intensity caregivers (10 hrs/week and above). Chi-square tests and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare the SES of the women between non-, low-, and high-intensity caregivers. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to calculate relative risk ratios (RRR) for various SES variables to assess the relation of SES on the likelihood of a low- and high-intensity caregiving in the household, adjusting for age, marital status, family characteristics and wave. Results: Of the 2741 respondents, high-intensity and low-intensity caregivers account for 16.42% and 21.38% respectively. Multinomial logistic regression result shows that the likelihood of being a high-intensity caregiver versus (vs.) a non-caregiver increases as the caregiver’s education attainment increases (p<0.05), and high income is related to the likelihood of being a high-intensity caregiver, but it is only significant at 10% level. Urban females are 1.34 times more likely than their rural counterparts to provide low-intensity care vs. no care (p<0.05) and are 1.34 times more likely to provide high-intensity care vs. no care (p<0.05). Employed females are 1.27 times more likely than those non-employed to provide low-intensity care vs. no care (p<0.05).Conclusions: Differences in SES are found between high-intensity caregivers and low-intensity caregivers. Women with high educational attainment and urban Hukou are more likely to provide high-intensity informal care, and women who are employed and with urban Hukou are more likely to provide low-intensity care.
