This bachelor thesis is looking at the swedish welfare-state after the past decades of liberalization of swedish politics. This is done by a simplified discourse analysis of the debates in the parliment that are about or contains the subject of the universal support for famillies called ”barnbidraget”. The support is paid out to every family with children below the age of 16 and is in the same amount regardless of income or wealth. The study is based around the notion of how the liberalization effect the swedish welfare system. After the discourse is constructed it is looked at from different welfare-regimes and how they are represented in the discourse or not. The method of this thesis is a simplified version of discourse analysis which focuses of the method part of discourse analysis rather than considering it more as theory as Fairclough would.
The discourse contains a lot of support for the universal aspect of the family support. But it also contains support for a more selective distribution of welfare in a general sense. The family support is something that also is a positive injection for Sweden's economy because it creates higher economic consumption among families with children. What is clear is that the family support discourse in the debates in parliament are mostly connected to a social democratic welfare-regime. (Less)
