The results of this study show that some changes have been present in the work life of the interviewees that can be connected to some of the criterias. This could be an expression that the occupation is undergoing a process of professionalization. On the other hand, our interviewees feel that some changes are still missing but that it may come over time. This is due to the fact that the license is still a fresh concept. Finally, we believe there is a need for clarification from the National Board of Social Affairs and Health if social workers without the license should continue to be able to be employed in healthcare.
