LO chairman Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson proposes relief work for the unemployed. But that is not the way to go, consider Swedish Enterprise’s vice president Christer Agren.
Preparedness jobs are a mix of publicly funded employment and training for long-term unemployed. What jobs should look like he wants to unions and employers to reach.
At Swedish business welcome Vice President Christer Agren proposal for negotiations, but says that it is not quite right way to go to reduce unemployment.
– Basically it’s good that people get in touch with the labor market. The problem is when you take away real jobs and invest in jobs that are grant-funded, he says.
In order to get unemployment down want LO chairman Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson the state to finance jobs for long term unemployed in the construction sector, for example, or the elderly. How jobs are designed to be negotiated by the union and the employers.
– There is no problem finding work. You have to organize it so that instead of paying the passive support that social assistance, income support, unemployment and sickness benefits, turning it into positive action. And then, education is the most important measure, says Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson.
He is particularly concerned about over the high unemployment and exclusion among the foreign born, where he thinks that Sweden should do more to help with the work.
But the Swedish business community says Christer Agren that the most important is the creation of jobs that are needed.
– It is important that it is a real job that there is a need and not just a job for failing to appear in the unemployment statistics, said Christer Agren, Vice President of Swedish Enterprise.
