Barnfattigdom : Barnfamiljers och professionellas perspektiv
- 2020. - 2

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Nästan vart tionde barn i Sverige bor i en familj med så låga inkomster att det inte täcker boendet och de nödvändigaste levnadsomkostnaderna. Det innebär både materiell fattigdom och risk för socialt utanförskap. Hur påverkas barnen och hur agerar välfärdsstatens aktörer när barnfattigdom hamnar på deras bord?Att tillämpa ett barnperspektiv och ta hänsyn till barns bästa när olika regelverk krockar är ett återkommande dilemma för myndigheterna i arbetet med barnfamiljer som har ont om pengar. Den här boken ger exempel på det svåra i att uppfylla lagens krav, men också på hur barns rättigheter kan stärkas när familjer behöver ekonomiskt stöd. Författarna belyser barnfamiljers möten med skolan, Försäkringskassan, socialtjänsten, förvaltningsrätten och Kronofogdemyndigheten. Varje kapitel i boken avslutas med diskussionsfrågor för att uppmuntra till reflektion över hur myndigheters beslut påverkar barn som lever i fattigdom. Barnkonventionen är nu svensk lag. Får barns bästa mer tyngd i ärenden om ekonomiskt bistånd? Lyssnar socialtjänsten mer på barnen i sina utredningar och beslut?Denna andra upplaga av boken är helt omarbetad och uppdaterad med ny forskning. Nya författare bidrar med nya ämnesområden och infallsvinklar.Boken vänder sig till universitets- och högskolestudenter, liksom till alla som i sin yrkesroll möter barnfamiljer som lever i ekonomisk utsatthet. Den är också en kunskapskälla till var och en som är politiskt eller ideellt engagerad i samhällsfrågor. Författarna har lång erfarenhet av utbildning och forskning inom sociologi och socialt arbete. En stor del av boken bygger på deras forskningsprojekt.

Economic Hardship : an Issue for Children's Agency at Home, at School and at the Social Welfare Office
- 2006
-
Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- This paper introduces a research project aiming at understanding children’s experiences of living in economic hardship in Sweden and presents some initial empirical results. The newly started project is focusing on children’s own perspective, their experiences in everyday life in various social contexts, and their financial and social strategies in interaction with other children, their parents and professionals at school and in the social welfare agencies. What does economic hardship mean to children in terms of material conditions, social relations, school work, identity or wellbeing? Which scope of agency do children see and how do they use it? How do the legal framework and the practices at school and at social welfare agencies construct the child (of various age and gender), the mother and the father in this kind of cases? Are children seen as actors, victims, consumers or objects of their parents’ responsibility as providers? Are children allowed a scope of action in the financial decision making processes in their family and / or in formal processes of financial support? If so, what kind of agency and what happens when they participate? Which kind of interpretative framework concerning children’s actions is used by the adults involved in the interaction with the children? The empirical work is conducted in two different municipalities in Sweden and will include analysis of interviews and a survey with children from three age categories (6-7, 11-12, 15-16), their parents (single as well as two parent families), school staff and social welfare officers, documents on local policies and court records. The project draws on childhood sociology, and research on gender, organization and professions. This paper will focus the legal processes concerning social welfare to families with children; children’s visibility in the process and their eventual scope of agency. The project is ending 2008.

Economic hardship in childhood : Children's agency in processes concerning families with scarce resources

Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- This paper presents some theoretical discussions and initial empirical results from a research project aiming at analysing children’s experiences of living in economic hardship in Sweden. The newly started project is focusing on children´s own perspective, their experiences in everyday life in various social contexts, and their financial and social strategies in interaction with other children, their parents and professionals at school and in the social welfare agencies. What does economic hardship mean to children in terms of material conditions, social relations, school work, identity or wellbeing? Which scope of agency do children see and how do they use it?

Which kind of interpretative framework concerning children’s actions is used by the adults involved in the interaction with the children? This paper will present initial findings from analyses of the legal processes concerning social welfare to families with children, focusing on the eventual scope of agency for children. The empirical work is conducted in two different municipalities in Sweden and will include interviews and a survey with children from three age categories (6-7, 11-12, 15-16), their parents (single as well as two parent families), school staff and social welfare officers. The project draws on childhood sociology, and research on gender, organization and professions.

En erfarenhet rikare? : En kvalitativ studie av barns strategier och barnfattigdomens villkor i välfärdsstaten
- 2013

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the context of the Swedish welfare state, the issue of child poverty has over the past decade become increasingly prominent within the political agenda. Most research on child poverty has been based on statistics and research on children’s everyday life and their experiences in situations of economic hardship has been in demand in international as well as Swedish research. The aim of this thesis is to explore and analyze children’s experiences of living within economic hardship as part of their identity work. In addition, it highlights how their agency can be understood as a way of dealing with their situation, as well as how child poverty – and the child position in a welfare state setting - is understood and conceptualized by the society they live in. The analysis was based on an interview study involving seventeen children between the ages of 6–18 in families living on or below the limit for receiving welfare benefits. The purpose of the interviews was to explore how these children experience economic hardship at home and among same-aged children, focusing their own strategies and agency.The thesis uses the field of childhood sociology as a theoretical starting point, and the empirical findings are analyzed with an interactionist approach which highlights the meaning of interaction and agency in relation to identity work. The strategies deployed by the children in this study was interpreted in the context of the limited space for agency that the child position entails as well as how their positioning as children, by themselves and others, creates a new understanding of the way poverty is managed by them. This thesis seeks to problematize the issue of child poverty in Sweden by stressing its complexities. The thesis also emphasizes that it would be a simplification to label these children as merely stigmatized since the status of poverty as a stigma for children can be questioned.
