Ultimately, this book seeks to understand if it is conceivable for digital advancement to result in the creation of private/non-governmental alternatives to welfare services, possibly in a manner that transcends national boundaries. This study also investigates the possible ramifications of technological development for the public sector and the Western welfare society at large. This book takes its point of departure from the 2016 OECD report that targets specific public service areas in which government needs to adopt new strategies not to fall behind. Specifically, this report emphasizes the focus on digitalization of health care/social care, education, and protection services, including the use of assistive technologies referred to as "digital welfare". Hence, this book explores the factors potentially leading to whether state actors could be overrun by other non-governmental actors, disrupting the current status quo of welfare services. The book seeks to provide an innovative, enriching and controversial take on society at large and how various aspects of the public sector can be, and are, affected by the ongoing digitalization process in a way that is not covered by extant literature on the market. This book takes its point of departure in Sweden given the fact that Sweden is one of the most digitalized countries in Europe, according to The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), making it a pertinent research case. However, as digitalization transcends national borders, large parts of the subject matter takes on an international angle. This includes cases from several other countries around Europe as well as the United States"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in the European economy. 606 $aHuman services$xTechnological innovations$zSweden 606 $aEducational innovations$zSweden 606 $aMedical care$xTechnological innovations$zSweden 606 $aPublic administration$xTechnological innovations$zSweden 610 $ahuman services 610 $atechnological innovations 610 $aSweden 610 $aeducational innovations 610 $amedical care 610 $apublic administration 610 $adigitalization 610 $adigital transformation 610 $awelfare services 615 0$aHuman services$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aEducational innovations 615 0$aMedical care$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aPublic administration$xTechnological innovations 676 $a622.0285 700 $aLarsson$b Anthony$4edt$01355514 702 $aLarsson$b Anthony 702 $aTeigland$b Robin$f1964- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910342950003321 996 $aDigital transformation and public services$93359627 997 $aUNINA
