Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nordic future of workHow will work and working life in the Nordic countries change in the future? This is the question to be addressed in the project The Future of Work: Opportunities and Challenges for the Nordic Models. This initial report describes the main drivers and trends expected to shape the future of work. It also reviews the main distinctions of the Nordic model and recent developments in Nordic working lives, pointing towards the kind of challenges the future of work may pose to the Nordic models. Too often, debates about the future narrowly focus on changes in technology. This report draws attention to the broader drivers and political-institutional frameworks influencing working life developments, aiming to spur debate about how the interaction of changes in demography, climate, globalization and digital technologies may influence Nordic working lives in the coming decades.

Download or read book National Intellectual Capital and the Financial Crisis in Denmark Finland Iceland Norway and Sweden written by Carol Yeh-Yun Lin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first decade of the twenty-first century, the biggest event of worldwide proportion was the 2008 global financial crisis, which was caused primarily by ineffective governance, failed surveillance systems, and implementation flaws. While fiscal and monetary policies succeeded in pulling many countries out of a financial freefall, most economies have performed beneath pre-recession levels as governments continued to struggle with their finances. Examining the financial crisis from the viewpoint of intangible assets provides a different perspective from traditional economic approaches. National Intellectual Capital (NIC), comprised mainly of human capital, market capital, process capital, renewal capital, and financial capital, is a valuable intangible asset and a key source of national competitive advantage in today’s knowledge economy. The authors—pioneers in the field—present extensive data and a rigorous conceptual framework to analyze the connections between the global financial crisis and NIC development. Covering the period from 2005 to 2010 across 48 countries, the authors establish a positive correlation between NIC and GDP per capita and consider the impact of NIC investment for short-term recovery and long-term risk control and strategy formulation. Each volume in a series of SpringerBriefs on NIC and the financial crisis provides in-depth coverage of the impact of the crisis, the aftermath, future prospects, and policy implications for a regional cluster. This volume focuses on Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.

Download or read book Labour market attachment in the Nordic countries written by Jakobsen, Vibeke and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2023-501/ This research report is part of a project examining how to increase labour force participation among vulnerable groups (young people, seniors, immigrants, and disabled people) in the Nordic countries. The purpose of this report is to provide a description of the vulnerable groups in the Nordic labour markets and analyse differences in labour force participation among these groups. We find that no country outshines all the others regarding labour force participation for these vulnerable groups. This highlights the fact that cross-country learning and collaboration can be fruitful in the future. In the forthcoming phases of this project, we will identify relevant barriers that lead to labour market exclusion and develop a method to group people, according to these barriers. The aim is to formulate policy recommendations to improve the labour market attachment among vulnerable groups.

Download or read book Iceland written by International Monetary Fund. European Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Selected Issues paper examines scope for improving Iceland’s fiscal framework. Iceland’s fiscal framework provides for a forward-looking exercise in consolidated fiscal planning. The Icelandic fiscal framework shares most elements of successful fiscal frameworks but would benefit from more structured guidance in dealing with cyclical fluctuations. It is backed by a firm legal basis that reflects political support for the fiscal policy objectives, covers the consolidated general government, and is based on sound accounting practices and budget management arrangements. The current parameters of the policy rules have a bias to reduce net public debt and gradually build fiscal space to deal with adverse shocks to economic activity. Adding a primary structural balance rule to the framework would ensure a countercyclical fiscal policy but would add significant complexity. Once the net public debt reaches a socially desirable level, the fiscal rule parameters may be modified to keep net public debt fluctuating around that level.
