Whether an individual receives home care services depends on two factors: the functional disability of the care recipient and the caregiver's gender, when the living arrangements of the care recipient are controlled. Report the data from a longitudinal study of social networks and home care organization in three municipalities in Sweden. The results provoke a discussion on research design as well as comments on welfare policy and gender equality in the transformation of the welfare state.
