ABSTRACT National debate and planning for major structural reforms of the Finnish welfare state have been ongoing for years. The most recent government plans include ideas to centralize basic services in major population centres and transfer the responsibility of organization from municipalities to new “health and social services counties”. Such reforms may have considerable consequences for low-income, vulnerable households and their resilience in sparsely populated Lapland. Knowledge about experiences of poverty and the ways in which vulnerable, low-income households tackle economic hardships in Finnish Lapland is scarce. To address this knowledge gap, we studied everyday practices of resilience among low-income, vulnerable households in Lapland as part of a Europe-wide study in nine countries from 2013 to 2017. The results of interviews with experts in local services (10) and households (24) in two locations in Lapland suggest that households rely on a close network of relatives and friends for the distribution of scarce resources and an exchange of skills in addition to a local support network consisting of municipal and non-governmental actors. These practices highlight the local, social, and collective nature of resilience among low-income households in contrast to the individualistic, heroic, and neoliberal understandings of resilience.

实践中的社会韧性：来自芬兰拉普兰的见解

摘要 芬兰福利国家重大结构性改革的全国性辩论和规划已经进行了多年。最近的政府计划包括将基本服务集中在主要人口中心并将组织责任从市政当局转移到新的“卫生和社会服务县”的想法。此类改革可能对低收入、弱势家庭及其在人口稀少的拉普兰的复原力产生相当大的影响。关于芬兰拉普兰的贫困经历以及弱势低收入家庭应对经济困难的方式的知识很少。为了解决这一知识差距，我们在 2013 年至 2017 年在九个国家进行的欧洲范围内研究中，研究了拉普兰低收入、弱势家庭的日常复原力实践。对拉普兰两个地点的当地服务专家 (10) 和家庭 (24) 专家的访谈结果表明，除了当地由市政和非政府行为者组成的支持网络。与个人主义、英雄主义和新自由主义对复原力的理解相比，这些做法突出了低收入家庭复原力的地方、社会和集体性质。
