Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the twentieth century, Sweden carried out one of the most ambitious experiments by a capitalist market economy in developing a large and active welfare state. Sweden's generous social programs and the economic equality they fostered became an example for other countries to emulate. Of late, Sweden has also been much discussed as a model of how to deal with financial and economic crisis, due to the country's recovery from a banking crisis in the mid-1990s. At that time economists heatedly debated whether the welfare state caused Sweden's crisis and should be reformed—a debate with clear parallels to current concerns over capitalism. Bringing together leading economists, Reforming the Welfare State examines Sweden's policies in response to the mid-1990s crisis and the implications for the subsequent recovery. Among the issues investigated are the way changes in the labor market, tax and benefit policies, local government policy, industrial structure, and international trade affected Sweden's recovery. The way that Sweden addressed its economic challenges provides valuable insight into the viability of large welfare states, and more broadly, into the way modern economies deal with crisis.

Download or read book Capitalists Against Markets written by Peter A. Swenson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-26 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom argues that welfare state builders in the US and Sweden in the 1930s took their cues from labor and labor movements. Swenson makes the startling argument that pragmatic social reformers looked for support not only from below but also from above, taking into account capitalist interests and preferences. Juxtaposing two widely recognized extremes of welfare, the US and Sweden, Swenson shows that employer interests played a role in welfare state development in both countries.

Book excerpt: While analyzing the situation, we found several reasons that explain the large amount of people whom have been excluded from the workplace: the great number of early retire- ments, sick leave, taxes and the marginal effects, the design of the unem- ployment insurance, a persistent mismatch in the labour market and a poor business climate were some of the problems we wanted to try to solve. [...] To give early retirement to thousands of people who belonged in the labour force was a way for the government of the time to cover up high open un- employment, and suddenly we had over 12 percent of the workforce in early retirement - among the highest rates in the world. [...] In the election campaign in 2006 the Social Democrats misjudged the situa- tion and argued that unemployment was low, when everyone in the elector- ate could feel the effects of the large exclusion. [...] When we faced the problem of the financing of the unemployment insur- ance system in 2006, members' contributions to the unemployment insur- ance system covered basically only the cost of administration, in other words, only a few percent of the total cost of unemployment insurance. [...] Being a small country building its wealth on the ability to export goods to the rest of the world, the Swedish economy has over the last century relied on open markets, free trade and the ability to adapt to changes to maintain competitiveness.

Download or read book Distributional Implications of Labor Market Reforms Learning from Spain s Experience written by Ara Stepanyan and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain’s structural reforms, implemented around 2012, have arguably contributed to a faster and stronger economic recovery. In particular, there is strong evidence that the 2012 labor market reforms increased wage flexibility, which helped the Spanish economy to regain competitiveness and create jobs. But the impact of these labor reforms on income inequality and social inclusion has not been analyzed much. This paper aims to shed light on this issue by employing an econometric decomposition procedure combined with the synthetic control method. The results indicate that the 2012 labor reforms have helped improve employment and income equality outcomes with no substantial impact on the overall risk of poverty. Nevertheless, the reforms appear to have induced a deterioration of average hours worked, in-work poverty, and possibly also of involuntary part-time employment.
Download or read book Policy Complementarities written by Mr.David T. Coe and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1996-08-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper argues that an important group of labor market policies are complementary in the sense that the effect of each policy is greater when implemented in conjunction with the other policies than in isolation. This may explain why the diverse, piecemeal labor market reforms in many European countries in recent years have had so little success in reducing unemployment. What is required instead is deeper labor market reforms across a broader range of complementary policies and institutions. To be politically feasible, these reforms must be combined with measures to address distributional issues.
Download or read book Lessons from Successful Labor Market Reformers in Europe written by Mr.Anthony Annett and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welfare states can be reformed successfully, and popular support for reforms can be maintained. But this requires an internally consistent package of labor market, fiscal, and product market reforms, including some kind of buy-in, through, for example, tax cuts. Empirical analysis combined with a select number of case studies-comprising Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom-reveals that successful reformers focused on increasing labor supply through benefit reform, lowering tax wedges, and lowering government consumption. At the same time, greater labor supply translated into employment growth more effectively in the presence of liberal labor and product markets.
