Abstract
The massive expansion of the public care services in Norway could lead to the conclusion that the family isn’t any longer involved in the care for their older family members. You could more or less be so impressed by this public effort that you ignore the informal care (Kröger 2005). This also goes partly for research, which in the Nordic countries has focused primarily on the public and formal care (Sand 2005). Over the last few years, however, the family has rejoined the stage in both research and politics (Johansson 2007; Lundsgaard 2005).
