Vad är nytt? - kunskapssammanställning av kommunal arbetsmarknadspolitik

Abstract

Swedish municipal labor market has expanded since the 1990s involving 5,300 professionals, 110,000 participants and cost 5 billion annually. According to the latest literature review (2012), the knowledge of what is done and achieved is limited. This article present a systematic review since 2012 by synthesizing research on four themes: why are municipal labor market measures initiated, how these measures are organized, the impact and how the practical work is conducted. The conclusion is that the research continues to be limited, there are few impact studies, individualization and decentralization are key components and labor market measures have a doubtful quality.
