European Social Care Services: Is It Possible To Identify Models ?

University of Tampere, Finland

Jorma Sipilä

University of Tampere, Finland

The purpose of this article is to bring social care services into the domain of comparative social policy research. The reason why it is important for social care services to be incor porated into the debate is that they represent an expanding component of the welfare state; that they are important for women; and that there are major differences between different countries in social care services. We have defined social care services as a specific way of increasing the autonomy of both care pro viders and care receivers.
