- Equality and working life

Paulina Brandberg is both Minister of Equality and Deputy Minister of Working Life.
How do you divide your time between the two?
"I guess it's around 50-50, but the two issues are also linked to a certain extent. Working life is such a big part of most people's lives and there is a lot of equality linked to it."
- Both the Nordics and Europe

Paulina Brandberg hosted the big 2023 work environment conference in Stockholm, held by Sweden as part of its EU Presidency. The participants visited a safety park for the construction industry near Arlanda Airport. Among them was the EU Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights Nicolas Schmit.
Born in Lund in the south-west of Sweden, she has always felt close to Denmark:
"In the Nordics, we feel like a family. We have so much in common. There's the language, of course, but there are many other things that are similar between the countries. And I feel that in politics, it's very natural for me to look a lot at our neighbouring countries to see how they solve the same type of societal problems that we have."
