    Svezia

    Perché la disoccupazione è così alta?


    In allegato i dati aggiornati per l’UE. Perché è così alto in Svezia? Ho visto persone spesso dire che è dovuto all’immigrazione, ma per quanto ne so, la Finlandia non ha avuto lo stesso numero di immigrati in proporzione alla sua popolazione e la loro cifra è ancora più alta

      Do you know if all countries use the same type of measurement tools for the data?

    2. ousee7Ai on

      Combination of factors probably. Immigration of unemployable people, cultural factors and quite good unemployment benefits.

      Almost like Sweden and Finland are different countries with differing issues.

      Partly because in Sweden you normally graduate highschool at 19 or 20 and they count for the entire age group 18 or maybe 16 and up. The student benefits are quite good so many college students are not working during the semesters either.

      You need training to be a cleaner here and employers are afraid to hire you.

      Different type of measurement, high inflation after the Covid, rising cost for the company’s and the fact that every position that is announced have over 200 applicants.

      Migration is one big part for Sweden, less so for Finland where it’s more structural I imagine. Generous welfare systems is another (pushes up equilibrium employment). High workforce participation could affect it too, i.e. the fact that many more adults participate in the labor market competing for the same jobs. But I imagine that also relates to a difference in measurement. E.g. compare to southern Europe where it’s more common to have non-working moms, they would not count as unemployed.
      Also it’s just a slow economy at the moment.

      Corporate greed combined with our “strong” unions that never fight for anything.

      Finland and Sweden arent the same country. They can have different reasons for high unemployment rates.

      But for Sweden there is no one cause.

      1. In later years we had a low economic growth.
      2. High interest rates.
      3. Most jobs require higher education(university degree)
      4. We often have Swedish as a requirement. High immigration rates increases the number of unemployed due to this.
      5. Employment protection in Sweden is very high which is good. But it also means companies are careful to employ unless they really need to if they have a slow growth.
      6. Most current growth we have is in our three largest cities. It is not always possible for people to move there.

      So yeah there is no one cause but a mixture of them.

      Immigration

      Finland is a bit different, they had a more trade with Russia, for historical reasons, that got closed down due to the sanctions.

      Finland struggles with high debt to GDP and is also part of the Euro, which makes it harder to counter a downturn.

      Sweden on the other hand has low debt to GDP and is not part of the Euro, thus Sweden started to lower its interest rates earlier than the ECB.

      Immigration, the unemployment rate for those with Swedish background is below the equivalent EU average

    16. dreamerofCoins on

      Do we even have high unemployment if you take away all the immigrants?

    17. LazyItem on

      Swedish unemployment is high mainly because the labor market is hard to enter. Wages are high even for entry-level jobs, hiring rules are strict, and employers therefore avoid taking risks on inexperienced or low-skilled workers. This especially affects young people and immigrants. At the same time, there is a mismatch between available jobs and workers’ skills, so vacancies and unemployment exist side by side. Recent interest-rate hikes have also hit housing and construction hard, causing job losses. Finally, Sweden uses strict and transparent unemployment statistics, which makes the rate appear higher compared to some other countries.

    19. Perzec on

      I think you should add the employment rate as well, not just unemployment. Those two together give a better picture of the statistics. Employment is about the same in Sweden and Germany, but unemployment is higher in Sweden, meaning more people are retired or otherwise outside the job market in Germany than in Sweden.

    20. Mumrik93 on

      We have a government that does nothing to combat unemployment and calls anyone who is unemployed lazy.

    22. ChampionSure5771 on

      Because we don’t want low paying jobs. Which is a horrible mistake because jobs evolve and all are needed. It’s just another case of scandinavian socialism not understanding how markets or economics works. Again.
