Sammanfattning
Vocational rehabilitation targeted to the socially disadvantaged long-term sick requires that the client keep in touch with a number of welfare state agencies. Many of these clients run the risk of being endlessly circulated between these agencies. Both government and welfare workers see institutional co-operation between welfare state agencies as the remedy to such problems. This article, which is based on interviews, focuses on difficulties and opportunities experienced in such co-operation. It is concluded that such co-operation, when initiated in local settings and supported by local players, is a way of rejuvenating the existing Swedish model.
