Sammanfattning av Dissertation series 2014:1

The main theme of this dissertation comprises empirical studies of individual behavior and public policy in the context of a modern welfare state. It consists of four self-contained essays, each focusing on different aspects of the interaction between the publicly provided health and education systems and individual behavior in Sweden over the last two decades. The national health and education systems are key policy elements within the modern welfare state as important propellants for growth and personal well-being. Thus, it is my hope that the essays included in this monograph will be able to contribute with new and valuable knowledge about key aspects in these areas of social policy.
