Sammanfattning
Social work provided by the Swedish City Missions has undergone two
general changes in recent years, it has expanded and broadened and it has
come to concern more serious social problems. The work of the city missions
can no longer be considered complementary to the public sector since their
services do not always complement any existing public services and since
they provide services on commission from the local authories. This article
describes a situation where organizations like the city missions are taking
more responsibility for the health and well-being of poor people in Sweden.
The concluding discussion concerns the consequences of this development
on both a societal and individual level. The article is based on an empirical
study of eight city missions in Sweden.
