| Popis: | This is a study about an activation scheme in a small Swedish municipality and the aim is to understand the scheme with a special focus on the participant’s description and experience. Theory on recognition and power are applied to analyze the empirical data. The scheme has had an intention to motivate and increase self-esteem among the participants that often have severe hindrance to enter the labour market. However the uneven power positions between staff and participants and the very fixed boundary that upholds the positions are forces that counteract the aim about motivating and increased self-esteem. This uneven power position is reinforced by the weak positions that unemployed have in the part of the labour market policy that is organized by the municipalities as well as in society from a broader point of view. The participants describes that they often doesn’t feel recognised as unique individuals that has the right both to be alike others as well as the right to differ from the norm about the “good citizen”. This report calls in to question if it is possible, in a context with very weak power positions for participants, to motivate and increase self-esteem among groups with high thresholds to enter the labour market. |
