| Research Abstract |
The purposes of this research are to survey the actual state of NPOs involved in child welfare in Sweden and to consider the role of them from a viewpoint of NPO-public sector relations. Interviews were conducted with four NPOs who have a powerful social influence. As a result, the aspect of"advocacy"which is regarded as traditionally Swedish is still shown today even strongly, by being combined with some direct-support-oriented activities outside of the public social services. Also, it has become clear that NPOs regard themselves as"avangarde"or"complement"in relation to government and their final aim is to promote improvement of public social welfare to meet the need of the time.
