1.2. Resources added |
| CLIENT |
- some of the people in the target group start working
- affects about 50 clients per year |
- the number of people being employed decreases considerably or
leads to an increase in part-time and short-term
employment |
- the number of people being employed increases
- the duration of work contracts and workdays can be increased,
which helps in coping on one's own salary |
| IMPACTS ON THE SOCIETY |
|
|
|
| Attitudes and values |
- general attitude towards employment actions is positive and
the preconceptions towards the unemployed are reduced |
- the idea of having a certain number of unemployed is accepted,
and the thought of doing something about it is considered
unnecessary
- more idle unemployed people, general attitudes are
stricter |
- work done on employment is appreciated
- the unemployed are given an opportunity to show their
skills
- professional reserves are put into use |
| Costs on social and health care |
- costs on social affairs may at first be increased by e.g.
eliminating problems on employment, such as buying work
clothes.
- later on, when health and life situation have improved, costs
will decrease
|
- costs will increase in the long run
- client's health / condition declines and financial problems
increase, which in turn will cause indifference and exclusion, and
this further increases the need for social and health
services. |
- costs will increase at first when the number of employed
people grows (see section 1.0)
- in the long run, costs are decreased, the need for social
assistance is reduced
- as lifestyle improves the need for health services is
reduced |

unit procedures

2.0. No action
-model |
2.1. A more rehabilitative/personal model |
2.2. A model concentrating on employment |
| CLIENT |
|
|
|
| Life situation |
- client is given as suitable a job as possible, taking into
account his/her personal needs and resources
- client is given some support and aid to cope with working
life |
- more time is spent on getting to know the client, his/her
strengths and weaknesses, and on how to choose a suitable job
- enables solutions that are more personal and take into account
the different areas of the client's life |
- the possibility of directing the client to a non-suitable job
increases, e.g. the job is too demanding, which causes stress and
thus adds to the client's problems
- the responsibility of coping in the job and problem-solving is
left to the client
- at first, such things as following working hours may present
problems |
| Motivation |
- clients who have experienced disappointments in job-seeking
may be motivated again when realizing that they can find work
- in addition, individual support in solving practical problems
creates faith in one's own capabilities |
- more time and resources are invested in the issues mentioned
in the previous section (No action -model) |
- without any support, every-day activities may be too difficult
to cope with alone, motivation is lost |
