Parternas omställningsorganisationer i det nya arbetsmarknadspolitiska landskapet

mot en kollektiv kompetensbildningsregim eller frammarsch av marknadsaktörer?

Abstract

Through the reform of Employment Protection Act (2022), the rules for terminating employment contracts has become more flexible in Sweden. Meanwhile, workers’ opportunities to receive support for re-training and skills development facilitated through the social partners’ Job Security Councils became strengthened, and also by the introduction of a new state subsidy. However, there is a lack of knowledge as to under which organisational conditions they operate and what kinds of working methods they use. Through a document analysis we map how the social partners’ Job Security Councils are organised and which types of private actors provide services for them through contracting.
