The report  ‘Young workers’ working environment in the Nordic countries’ was published on 9 October on commission from the Nordic Council of Ministers during Sweden’s Presidency. A Nordic conference on young people’s working environments was held on the same day in Stockholm.  

Senior researcher Pete Kines at the National Research Centre for the Working Environment in Denmark wrote the report with help from colleagues Elisabeth Framke and Elizabeth Bentsen and Anne Salmi from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health.

Their aim has been to map the working environment situation for young workers between 15 and 24 in the Nordic countries, and the report looks at legislation, employment rate and work-related injuries or bad health. It also suggests ways of improving young people’s working environments.
