Purpose and goal
Minor home help services are provided by the municipalities in Sweden and include services such as help with changing the curtains, change of light bulbs and removal of carpets in the home. The overall aim of this project is to map out the extent and use of minor home help services in Sweden, and to take part of relevant evaluations of such services. The aim is further to, based on assumptions regarding e.g. what types of services that are provided, present a model for calculation of the societal costs and consequences of these services.
