Abstract [en]

This thesis explores the role of technology in enhancing child welfare interventions within the context of Sweden’s advanced digital and egalitarian welfare system. Grounded in an explora- tory qualitative approach, the study employs Grounded Theory as both its methodological and theoretical framework, enabling the emergence of context-sensitive insights through open, ax- ial, and selective coding of 18 systematically selected peer-reviewed articles. The analysis re- veals four interrelated dimensions—Interaction & Engagement, Accessibility & Equity, Or- ganizational Fit, and Policy & Ethics—that shape the integration of digital tools in Swedish child welfare services. Findings suggest that while technology enhances communication, sup- ports child-centered innovation, and improves service efficiency, it also faces challenges such as workflow disruption, regulatory constraints, and inconsistent evaluation practices. The study underscores that successful technological adoption is context-dependent, requiring institutional readiness, policy alignment, and stakeholder engagement. By identifying both opportunities and barriers, this research provides evidence-based insights that can guide policy development and interdisciplinary collaboration to create a more equitable, inclusive, and effective child welfare system in Sweden.
