Since the economic recession in Sweden during the 1990´s, there has been a growing demand for welfare-to-work interventions. These interventions aim to increase the work-ability of the participants and hopefully this will result in the participants establishing themselves on the labor market.
The aim of this thesis is to examine how the participants perceive a specific intervention called Biologdesignern. Of certain interest is the intervention’s effect on social support.
The empirical data of this thesis was collected through interviews with six participants in welfare-to-work intervention called Biologdesignern. The gathered material has been analyzed with the concept of social support theory.
The conclusion of this thesis that intervention contributes to perceived effects amongst some of the participants in regard to social support through the development of coping-strategies. Further on, the result of the investigation to some extent indicates that the intervention contributes to a sense of belonging. This is because the participants have a place to come to, which give them some routine in everyday life where as otherwise as a social assistance claimant you would not have this opportunity to meet with others on a daily basis.
