The financial crisis, pandemic, war and climate threats of recent years show that the global risk scenario is changing rapidly and that the threats to our societies are becoming increasingly interconnected and complex. Experience from the COVID-19 pandemic shows that the resilience of welfare is crucial. At the same time, today's challenges in healthcare are considerable. How can we strengthen our crisis preparedness and increase the resilience of Nordic welfare?
In the publication ‘Welfare resilience in crisis in the Nordic region – a gender perspective on challenges and ways forward in healthcare’, researchers in global public health, economic history, demography, sociology and social work contribute reflections and problematisations in four essays. Based on their research findings, they open up new perspectives, questions and possible solutions for future crises.
