Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur personer som sökt asyl tillsammans med sina familjer har upplevt sin livssituation i väntan på uppehållstillstånd, där fokuset läggs på barnfamiljer. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod och resultatet analyseras med hjälp av en innehållsanalys. Empirin är framtagen genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med män och kvinnor som sökte asyl i Sverige under den så kallade flyktingkrisen. Studiens teoretiska ramverk utgörs av teorin om känsla av sammanhang samt utgår från teoretiska begreppen liminalitet och resiliens. Resultatet visar att personer som söker asyl tillsammans med barn i familjen kan stå inför en rad olika påfrestningar under vänteperioden; nämligen ekonomiska svårigheter, otrygga boendeförhållanden, ovisshet inför framtiden och en dubbel orosbörda. Den ovissa framtiden gör det svårare att uppleva nuet som begripligt och hanterbart när man inte vet om man kommer få stanna i landet eller inte. Oron om barnets framtid och tankar om hur ett avslag kan påverka barnets liv präglar tillvaron i väntan. Men samtidigt är det barnen och familjen som ökar motivationen att fortsätta hålla ut. Studien lyfter också på vilket sätt det var möjligt för asylsökande att hantera sin situation. Resultatet visar att intervjupersoner har använt sig av olika resiliensstrategier och resurser för att känna sammanhang i sin tillvaro. Studien kommer slutligen fram till att en lång asylprocess påverkar asylsökande barnfamiljer på flera olika plan och för att individer i dessa familjer ska känna sig kunna hantera sin situation bör man satsa på att förstärka deras känsla av sammanhang.

This diploma thesis wants to find out main needs of large families in the Czech Republic. Families with three and more children are minority group for which social and family policy don't have specific measures. These families face to many problems, especially to the lack of financial resources and complicated reconciling of work and care. Situation of families and adjustment of social and family policy in the Czech Republic are compared with large families in France and with French family policy which is aim at reconciling of work and care in last years. Although adjustment of French welfare state is different, the inspiration for Czech system will be defined. Major benefit of this thesis is focusing on large families in the Czech Republic which don't receive social benefits and at least one parent is economically active.

Studien har undersökt hur socialsekreteraren upplever sitt handlingsutrymme i det vräkningsförebyggande arbetet med barnfamiljer. Studien belyser faktorer som både begränsar och möjliggör handlingsutrymmet för socialsekreteraren i arbetet med barnfamiljerna samt hur detta i sig påverkar barnfamiljerna. Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen om socialsekreterares upplevelser av sitt handlingsutrymme kopplat till det vräkningsförebyggande arbetet när det kommer till barnfamiljer. För att göra detta har vi utgått från en kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer där vi mött socialsekreterare som arbetar vräkningsförebyggande med barnfamiljer inom Socialtjänsten på enheten för ekonomiskt bistånd. Vårt empiriska material består av sju stycken intervjuer med socialsekreterare som arbetar inom olika stadsdelsförvaltningar i Stockholm stad. Vi har utgått från Michael Lipskys teori om gräsrotsbyråkrater i analyserandet av den empiriska data, en teori som berör det handlingsutrymme som gräsrotsbyråkrater besitter i sin position mellan organisation och klient. Studiens resultat visar att socialsekreteraren upplever ett splittrat handlingsutrymme i deras vräkningsförebyggande arbete med barnfamiljer som innebär en balansgång mellan känslan av ett stort handlingsutrymme och påverkan, samtidigt som det är starkt bundet till organisation och chef samt yttre och inre faktorer i organisationen. Här lyfts att arbetserfarenhet är starkt kopplat till upplevelsen av ett större handlingsutrymme och därmed möjlighet till påverkan för barnfamiljerna. Studien belyser även frågor från socialsekreteraren om handlingsutrymmets eventuella personbundenhet samt svårigheter i att navigera huruvida handlingsutrymmet ska användas gentemot barnfamiljen eller gentemot Socialtjänsten. / The aim of this study is to examine how social workers understand and experience their discretion in the daily work with eviction prevention when it comes to children’s families. The study was conducted through qualitative semi-structured interviews with social secretaries. Our empirical data is based on seven interviews with social secretaries from different district administrations in Stockholm stad. Drawing on Michael Lipsky’s theory on street level bureaucracy, we have analysed their reflections and examined how social workers view their position and level of discretion. Lipsky’s theory is based on the role that street level bureaucrats possesses and how the position of being in between the organization and the clients affect their daily work. The outcome of the study shows experiences of a partly fragmented discretion in daily work with eviction prevention for families with children. The experienced discretion is dual: there is both a feeling of a rather big discretion with the possibility to affect, but also a strong experience of discretion being bound to organization and their closest boss, including inner and outer factors. Among other things, work experience was highlighted as a direct connection to the experience of a bigger discretion and a possibility to effect. The study also highlights a question raised by the social secretaries concerning what direction their discretion should be used in, pointing to the different loyalties concerning if discretion is used with either the families or the organization itself in mind.

Through expert research with selected involved we identified the main barriers which prevent the satisfactory provision of social prevention in the selected location. In Ústí nad Labem there is the highest number of at-risk families with children in the Czech Republic and social prevention services at the location in question are not sufficiently supported neither financially nor in terms off staff.

Studi recenti hanno evidenziato come la comprensione del fenomeno della povertà si arricchisca integrando il concetto più tradizionale di povertà cross-sectional con un concetto longitudinale. La crescente letteratura sulle dinamiche di povertà si occupa del tempo in cui individui diversi rimangono poveri e le transizioni dentro e fuori la condizione di povertà. Chapter 1 è una review delle strategie econometriche che sono state suggerite nella letteratura. L’attenzione è posta sulla derivazione econometrica di ogni modello, ma l’obiettivo è anche di chiarire le domande specifiche a cui ogni modello vuole dare risposta e le relative implicazioni di politica. Poiché è una regolarità empirica ben documentata che le famiglie con figli sono sovra-rappresentate al fondo della distribuzione dei redditi di molti paesi così come che i bambini che crescono in situazione di svantaggio sono associati a basse capacità cognitive e relazionali, il resto della tesi si incentra su diversi aspetti dinamici del fenomeno della povertà. In particolare, Chapter 2 studia la presenza di dipendenza dallo stato nella povertà infantile in Italia tra il 1993 e il 2006, mentre il Capitolo 3 è una valutazione dell’effetto di particolari politiche di sostegno alle famiglie che sono state introdotte in Gran Bretagna alla fine degli anni ’90 sulla durata delle esperienze di povertà. / Recent studies gave evidence on how a better understanding of the phenomenon of poverty is achieved by integrating the more traditional concept of cross-sectional poverty with a longitudinal concept. The increasing literature on poverty dynamics deals with the time different individuals spend in poverty and the transitions in and out of poverty. Chapter 1 is a review of the econometrical strategies that have been employed in the literature. The focus is on the econometrical derivation of each model, but I aim also at clarifying the specific research questions each model wants to answer and the related policy implications. As it is a well-established finding that families with children are over-represented at the bottom of the income distribution in many countries as well as that children who grow up in disadvantaged environments are associated with diminished cognitive and social skills, the remaining of the thesis focuses on different dynamics facets of the poverty phenomenon. In particular, Chapter 2 investigates the presence of state dependence in Italian child poverty between 1993 and 2006, while Chapter 3 is an assessment of the effect of particular families oriented policies introduced in Britain in the late 1990s on the duration of poverty experiences.

I described topics related to the title of the thesis in its theoretical part and in that way I made a comprehensive survey focused on the social fieldwork in families. The first target of the thesis was - to learn the experience of some chosen non-profit-making organizations which deliver socially activating services to families with children. The qualitative research, the method of questioning and the technique of semi-standardized interview were used for achieving my objective. The same kinds of research, method and technique were used for achieving my second objective, i.e. - to map the status of delivering socially activating services to families with children in the South Bohemia region which realize saving of families. I carried out two kinds of interviews; the first one - in non-profit-making organizations; the second one - with some OSPOD{\crq}s women-workers in České Budějovice. The set aims were fulfilled. Then, on the base of the detected data, I formulated my findings. My findings confirmed that the experience of organizations which deliver socially activating services to families with children is consistent. Employees of non-governmental non-profit-making organizations indicated that the functioning of their organizations is successful and that they cope with their purposes and aims. The women-workers of OSPOD concurred in their statements that the kind of work with families seemed beneficial and the women-workers were open for cooperation with organizations in that field, which is an important aspect for those organizations. The current situation in delivering socially activating services to families with children in the South Bohemia region is not unsatisfactory, but it is not fully cowered yet. There is no organization fully focused on the saving of families, especially in some border areas of the region. My interviews contributed to the creation of my project design of a non-governmental, non-profit-making organization. On the base of the project design socially activating services (fieldwork form) for families with children in the South Bohemia region could be realized (under the law No. 108/2008 of Collection of Law {--} Social Services Act). In this way the project is the practical output of my thesis and it can be used for the creating of an organization focused on the saving of families in the South Bohemia region. The project and its implementation expect cooperation with experts qualified in that field. If the project is realized, the number of socially activating services in the South Bohemia region will increase and the only organization focused wholly on the saving of families will be created.
