Sisällön kuvaus

This wide-ranging survey charted expert opinion on the welfare of Finnish citizens, and on the present state of welfare services. The respondents were managers or management groups of municipal social services offices, municipal health centres (primary health care), employment offices, and local offices of the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela).

There were separate questionnaires for each organisational sector, with somewhat differing questions for each.

The questions common to all organisations studied perceptions of the changes in the number of staff, difficulty of recruiting skilled staff, sufficiency of human resources, prevailing atmosphere among the staff (worried vs. hopeful), and the possibilities of ensuring service provision to citizens with the existing resources. The respondents evaluated welfare of population in the municipality, and charted the action taken and attempts made by the organisation to improve the circumstances of some population groups (e.g. the long-term unemployed) and the sufficiency of these actions.

Views on how the services provided corresponded to the needs of the citizens were surveyed as well as changes in the provision of services related to advice and guidance, and the effect of online services on various things (e.g. rights of customers, staff workload). Public social and health services, employment services, services provided by the Social Insurance Institution and by private enterprises were evaluated. Cooperation between the respondents' organisation and other bodies and actors was surveyed. Situation of the organisation in terms of changes in services was investigated as well as the extent to which the respondents had made use of the Sociobarometer 2005 in their work.

The questions not common to all organisations charted, among others, actions taken to ensure the hiring of skilled staff, financial situation of the municipality, views on the need to increase the amount of some social security benefits, increase/decrease in out-tasking, the manager's role in the organisation, competitive tendering of services, models of service provision, and municipal and public service reform.

Background variables included the respondent's organisational sector, occupation/title, and the location of the organisation.

Otantamenetelmä

Total universe/Complete enumeration

The Sociobarometer 2006 questionnaire was sent to the social services offices, health centres (primary health care), and "full service" employment offices of all Finnish municipalities (the Åland Islands excluded) as well as to the offices of the Social Insurance Institution that were open every weekday. The questionnaires were addressed to managing directors.

Each organisational sector was sent one questionnaire in each municipality, with the exception of large towns, which received more questionnaires according to the organisational structures. In Espoo and Vantaa, the questionnaire was sent to all health centres, while half the health centres in Helsinki received the questionnaire. Several questionnaires were sent to the social services offices of Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Vantaa, Oulu and Turku. The Kainuu region was also exceptional in that only three questionnaires in total were sent there as a result of centralised social administration. As regards employment offices and offices of the Social Insurance Institution, more than one office was sent more than one questionnaire in a few larger towns.

Health centres were sent paper questionnaires by mail. Other organisations were sent a link to the online survey by email. In the reminder round, all respondents were sent paper questionnaires.
