New York : Routledge, 2020. 353 p. : ill., table ; 23 cm. Part 1 Health and social care -- Part 2 Education -- Part 3 Citizen protection -- Part 4 Future of the welfare state. "Through a series of studies, the overarching aim of this book is to investigate if and how the digitalization/digital transformation process affects various welfare services provided by the public sector, and the ensuing implications thereof. Ultimately, this book seeks to understand if it is conceivable for digital advancement to result in the creation of private/non-governmental alternatives to welfare services, possibly in a manner that transcends national boundaries. This study also investigates the possible ramifications of technological development for the public sector and the Western welfare society at large. This book takes its point of departure from the 2016 OECD report that targets specific public service areas in which government needs to adopt new strategies not to fall behind. Specifically, this report emphasizes the focus on digitalization of health care/social care, education, and protection services, including the use of assistive technologies referred to as "digital welfare". Hence, this book explores the factors potentially leading to whether state actors could be overrun by other non-governmental actors, disrupting the current status quo of welfare services. The book seeks to provide an innovative, enriching and controversial take on society at large and how various aspects of the public sector can be, and are, affected by the ongoing digitalization process in a way that is not covered by extant literature on the market. This book takes its point of departure in Sweden given the fact that Sweden is one of the most digitalized countries in Europe, according to The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), making it a pertinent research case. However, as digitalization transcends national borders, large parts of the subject matter takes on an international angle. This includes cases from several other countries around Europe as well as the United States"-- Provided by publisher. 61676 Public welfare Sweden 61677 Human services Technological innovations Sweden 61678 Educational innovations Sweden 61679 Medical care Technological innovations Sweden 61680 Public administration Public administration Sweden 61674 Larsson, Anthony. 61675 Teigland, Robin.
