Public Administration in Sweden and its Relations with Social Administration

FrenchAfter describing the general organisation of the Swedish State, the author lays stress on the fact that the Ministers have no administrative authority; they are the political heads of the several Departments and the King's Counsellors. The administrative affairs are in fact entrusted to a certain number of central organisations, most of which have been recently established, such as the « Medical Council », the « Social Council (or Administration) », the « Royal Labour Commission » (1), etc. Each of them is entirely responsable for the correct application, in its own particular field, of the decisions taken by the Government. In addition, in order to avoid excessive centralisation, these central organisations are assisted by local, i.e. County and municipal, bodies. It should be noted that local administrative authorities enjoy wide autonomy, in the administrative, as well as in the social field. Central control, however, is exercised through the Administrative Committee of the County (« Län »). These authorities are responsible to the King, i.e. to the Cabinet as a whole, and not to a particular Minister.(1)It should be noted that the words « Royal Commission », as used here, have not the same connotation as in England. In fact, we have to do with a permanent administrative agency.The Swedish Cabinet (« Riksråd ») comprises 16 Ministers, 11 of whom are entrusted with a ministerial Department. The Department of Social Affairs, which was established in 1947, includes among its functions: 1) the control of the labour market. 2) housing policy, 3) social insurance, and 4) social security and assistance.The author concludes by describing the social activities of the other main Departments.
