abstract: 'In the 1990s Sweden went through a deep economic recession accompanied
|
||||
|
||||
by a massive increase in unemployment and a rapidly growing budget
|
||||
|
||||
deficit. The crisis had large repercussions for the welfare of many
|
||||
|
||||
citizens and it generated cutbacks in virtually all social policy
|
||||
|
||||
programmes. This halted a welfare-state expansion that had been going on
|
||||
|
||||
for decades. It also caused great concern about the state of welfare of
|
||||
|
||||
the nation. In 1999 the Swedish Government appointed a `Welfare
|
||||
|
||||
Commission'', a team of academic researchers who were assigned the task
|
||||
|
||||
of drawing up a balance sheet for the development of welfare in the
|
||||
|
||||
1990s. The Commission delivered its final report in October 2001. This
|
||||
|
||||
article is a condensed account of one of the more central issues for the
|
||||
|
||||
Commission; namely, how the unemployment crisis affected already
|
||||
|
||||
socially and economically vulnerable groups. Looking at the development
|
||||
|
||||
over the entire decade, three groups stand out as particularly
|
||||
|
||||
disadvantaged in terms of individual welfare resources: young adults,
|
||||
|
||||
immigrants and single mothers. The downturn for these groups was
|
||||
|
||||
especially accentuated in terms of employment and income. Young people
|
||||
|
||||
and immigrants trying to get into the labour market during the crisis
|
||||
|
||||
years faced the problems of newcomers to the systems of social
|
||||
|
||||
protection. The poor economic development for single mothers could
|
||||
|
||||
essentially be attributed to the shortage of work in general and of
|
||||
|
||||
full-time work in particular that followed from the unemployment crisis.
|
||||
|
||||
As a consequence, the importance of selective benefits increased and the
|
||||
|
||||
relative size of all public transfers - despite rationing measures -
|
||||
|
||||
stayed fairly unchanged. The results highlight the great influence of
|
||||
|
||||
macroeconomic conditions and policy making for the welfare of vulnerable
|
||||
|
||||
groups in society.'
