- The following essay studies the change in the use of terminology pertaining to socioeconomic categorising in public political material, and how this relates to ideological changes in politics. The aim is to determine which expressions government commission reports have used after the Second World War to classify citizens in social and economic groups, and subsequently, to link the understanding of these terms to the development of Swedish welfare politics.

This essay demonstrates how the use of terminology is connected to the ideological shifts within welfare politics and how this allows for the power of the dominant ideology to interpret reality and create linguistic possibilities or obstructions for political relations.
