Since 2000, more than 163,000 jobs disappeared from the industry in Sweden. Will probably be more. Sweden is being de-industrialization. It says IF Metall General Secretary Anders Ferbe.
– It is extremely serious . We have since the turn of the century, and even before that, seen a declining trend in industrial production and industrial capacity in Sweden, says Anders Ferbe.
– We know that it is not so that it takes effect immediately in welfare services and in the country’s economy when the industry is shrinking. But it has an impact on a ten to fifteen years, says Ferbe in this week’s caliber.
How serious is it do you think?
– If you compare with England, which had a huge de-industrialization in the 70s and 80s, what are they doing today? They try nyindustrialisera. I hope we will not have nyindustrialisera Sweden but that instead we could take was on the industry that are here now and make sure that we create better conditions.
Swedish industry underinvest and invests too little in research and development, says IF Metall General Secretary Anders Ferbe.
It will affect the Swedish economy is negative, he says, and it will turn to welfare .
A range of measures needs to be deployed to the negative trend will be broken, says Anders Ferbe.
– An energy policy so that we can meet the basic industry , a working infrastructure so that we can ship goods at a competitive way in Sweden. We need to get a decent bet on the future skills within the industry. It can be anything from factory worker to advanced engineers and the like, says Ferbe.
Elsewhere in the world look different than in Sweden. In South Korea, for example, builds group Hyundai Steel up a huge steel plant in the city of Dangjin outside the capital Seoul.
The construction cost ten billion dollars, and the group now has 500 development engineers and plan to hire an additional 100 dedicated solely to product development, says Park Hyojoon at Hyundai Steel’s development department.
