The 100-year-wave hits the Nordic labour market
Can migrants close the gaps in the labor market when the centenary wave hits the Nordic countries? Even if the population is growing, it is at the same time becoming older. We meet Vappu Bergren, almost 100 years old, some of the immigrants who has come to the North and researchers who warn that the welfare model is vulnerable.
The Nordics focus on work environments – but in different ways
Everyone in the Nordic countries seems to agree that working environment issues are getting increasingly important, yet there are major differences in how the different countries handle the challenges – not least when it comes to social dumping.
The Nordics: More openness for labour market inclusion
The refugee crisis has led to more activity and cooperation between the Nordic countries in order to find the best ways of including refugees into the labour market. But inclusion is also about being open to everyone who for different reasons struggle to get a foothold in working life. Work done by Danish municipalities shows success can be achieved when the integration measures feel meaningful to all involved.
The Nordics are entering the future of work
How do we prepare the Nordic model for the future of work? The question gets a lot of attention in a time of major demographic and technological change. The count-down to the ILO’s centenary celebrations has started, and the Nordics want to contribute – but how? This was one of the big questions discussed at the Nordic Labour Ministers’ meeting in Oslo, where the focus was on migration, integration, good organisational working environments and the common Nordic project The Future of Work.
