| Annotation | The ageing of the population is one of many forces behind a current reconstruction of welfare benefits in both Sweden and the US. While both countries represent ideological polarities in social policy, they are struggling to meet their welfare goals with limited resources, and both are adopting similar strategies, for example, decentralisation, targeting, and an increased emphasis on privatisation and evaluation. This paper summarises some of the differences between Sweden and the US, and describes some of the forces at work that are lessening the differences between the two countries in strategies and policy regarding care services for older people.
