Abstract [en]

The study provides an overview of published research on nonprofit welfare provision in Sweden and identifies potential gaps for future research. Taking the growing interest in civil society in general and nonprofit welfare in particular as our starting point, the article seeks to answer a series of questions. What scientific perspectives are utilized in the studies? When were they published? What welfare areas are studied? And ”are” the studies primarily concerned with users of welfare services, professionals, welfare-producing organizations or the welfare of society at large? We ana-lyse 161 published studies identified through a systematic search in three academic databases. The results are summarized using graphs and a narrative synthesis. The results show that research on nonprofit welfare provision has grown steadily since the early 1990s. The existing research is primarily on changing political and societal perceptions regarding what roles civil society orga-nizations should assume in a welfare society in transition and how this relates to international trends. Based on these results, we argue that research is lacking on the actual production of welfare services performed by civil society organizations in Sweden, and its significance for individual users, notably concerning research on nonprofit education and healthcare.
