Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Youth not in employment, education or training (NEETs) have been analyzedfrom either individual or macro-structuralperspectives, while policy discussionshave emphasized national policy. This disregards (i) the substantial variation inNEET rates within countries, and (ii) the importance of local governance for thisvariation. We examine these issues in Sweden through the lens of interactive governance.Theoretically, four aspects of collective action are highlighted: identificationof local NEET subgroups, perceptions of problems and of solutions, andstakeholder relationships. Empirically, an initial multi-levelregression analysis ofall 290 Swedish municipalities provided the basis for semi-structuredinterviewsregarding local work with NEETs in 20 strategically selected municipalities. Thequalitative data are here analyzed using fuzzy-setqualitative comparative analysis.The results suggest that municipalities where local governance combinesthree of the four aspects, namely identifying NEET subgroups and sharing perceptionsof problems and of solutions, have lower NEET shares than predicted.

Complementary policy fields in action: Local policies targeted at multi-problem NEETs
- 2024
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Different social policies may impact on the effectiveness of one another, yet the existing results largely stem from macro-level studies and little is known about the actual character and importance of such policy complementarities. A more direct and potentially illuminating approach to studying complementarity is instead to investigate a specific group needing support from several policy areas. One such group is young people who are neither in employment nor in education and training (NEET), and the heterogeneous character of NEETs as well as the complexity and interrelatedness of their problems has been frequently emphasized. We study both the extent and character of policy complementarities vis-à-vis NEETs as well as the relationship between these polices and the local NEET rate. We use a mixed-methods approach in which a quantitative analysis of individual NEET risks using administrative data for the whole Swedish population provides the basis for a qualitative study among local representatives from organizations working with NEETs in 20 strategically selected municipalities. Using multiple informant methodology, we collected unique data on the organization of measures in the areas of education, employment, health and social services from local professionals representing the different policy areas. Analyses using fsQCA show that compared to municipalities with higher-than-expected NEET rates, municipalities with lower-than-expected NEET rates more often provide social welfare support measures, and to some extent also health support measures, and work with a reinforcement mechanism such as multi-professional teams. Policy complementary is thus a result of direct institutional design aiming to promote inter-sectoral coordination.

Globalization and Uncertainty : Earnings Volatility in Sweden, 1985-2003
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Industrial Relations. - 0019-8676 .- 1468-232X. ; 49:2, s. 165-189

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Earnings volatility has been linked to economic integration only through contradictory conjectures. We assess globalization's role by examining volatility trends in manufacturing, private services, and public services. If trade increases uncertainty, volatility trends should differ markedly across industries since manufacturing, in contrast to especially public services, is exposed to international competition. We analyze earnings trajectories in Sweden 1985–2003, a country and period evincing accelerating trade, finding no indications of greater volatility increases in manufacturing.

Att möta globaliseringen : Utbildning, aktivering och social exkludering i Norden
- 2015
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- De nordiska ländernas ekonomiska utbyte med omvärlden har ökat dramatiskt. I debatten har globaliseringens förespråkare sett internationellt utbyte som en förutsättning för fortsatt välstånd, medan kritikerna varnat för arbetslöshet och ojämlikhet. Utvecklingen av inkomstfluktuationer och -skillnader kan emellertid inte förklaras av globaliseringen. Internationell handel, kapitalrörlighet och migration har således inte lett till ökad osäkerhet och ojämlikhet så som befarats – alternativt så har länderna varit framgångsrika i försöken att möta globaliseringen. De nordiska länderna har alla sökt bemöta utmaningarna genom reformer av utbildnings- och aktiveringspolitiken. Medan reformerna av yrkesutbildningen och arbetsmarknadspolitiken generellt inte har motverkat risken för social exkludering har däremot expansionen av utbildningssystemen tenderat att minska inkomstskillnaderna i Norden.

Educational mismatch, wages, and wage growth: Overeducation in Sweden, 1974-2000
- 2007
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We examine the impact of educational mismatch on wages and wage growth in Sweden. The empirical analyses, based on cross-sectional and panel data from the Level of living surveys 1974-2000, are guided by two main hypotheses: (a) that educational mismatch reflects human capital compensation rather than real mismatch, and (b) that educational mismatch is real but dissolves with time spent in the labour market, so that its impact on wages tends toward zero over a typical worker’s career. Our findings do not support these hypotheses. First, significant differences in contemporaneous economic returns to education across match categories remain even after variations in ability are taken into account. Second, we find no evidence that the rate of wage growth is higher among overeducated workers than others. Our conclusion is that the overeducated are penalized early on by an inferior rate of return to schooling from which they do not recover.
