Abstract [en]

Within the essay´s timeframe, Sweden had three years of starvation, large emigration to America and a new Poor Welfare Act.

I have found out which groups were granted support and what help they received from the poor welfare in Falun, between the years 1867-1872. In order to receive society´s help, it was important to be the right kind of poor, and that is a working individual who tried his best to support himself and his family, with the exception of those affected by illness or injury.

The neighborhood supervisors of the poor welfare reported the distress and needs of the individuals to the poor welfare board, which decided what support should be given.

Among the beneficiaries’ women were in the majority over men, and the men who were granted support were all workers. However, there are only the answers to who was granted help, not who was denied, which does not show the actual need.

Granted support increased every year within the essay´s timeframe, despite the poor welfare act saying that those who were able to work should not burden the poor welfare. Despite this, the city of Falun granted support to able-bodied individuals who, according to the Poor Welfare Act, had to support themselves
