This report is about how non-readily employable recipients of cash benefits can be brought closer to the labour market. The survey is based on 30 qualitative interviews with case workers and others with contact to this group.
The survey shows that case workers have very different ideas about what interventions work best. The understanding of case workers’ own roles also varies greatly.
Overall some case workers believe that recipients of cash benefits improve most from ‘firm’ interventions, whereas others are keen to establish a safe relationship and exhibit great patience. However, all case workers stress that close monitoring with frequent contact is very important.
The survey suggests that to some extent the case workers’ interventions depend on the problems of the individual recipient of cash benefits, which are very diverse and therefore should be dealt with in different ways.
This survey has been financed by the Ministry of Employment.
