The Structural Crisis in the Swedish Economy
Author: Mr.Ramana Ramaswamy
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1451965036
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
This paper focuses on the main institutional features of the Swedish labor market and analyzes the reasons for the high wage inflation and slow productivity growth. The so-called Swedish model, usually identified with an advanced welfare state, has attracted attention from many quarters for its apparent earlier success. One of the distinctive features of the Swedish model has been its unique labor market institution, which combines centralized bargaining with a policy of wage equalization, designed with a view to promoting a favorable macroeconomic performance. The concept of solidaristic wages was initially conceived as equal pay for equal work. Estimates provided by the Swedish Ministry of Finance, indicate that the wage spread for industrial workers, calculated as the difference between the highest and lowest deciles in 1984, was 34 percent for Sweden in contrast to 210 percent for the United Kingdom and 490 percent for the United States.

The Swedish Third Way

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
This paper analyses the functioning of the Rehn-Meidner model in Sweden and the validity of the model's underlying theory. Both sceptics and friends of the Swedish model have exaggerated the effects of active labour market policy and solidarity wage policy on employment, inflation and growth. However, these policies have contributed to the reduction of hysteresis effects and wage differentials in Sweden. Furthermore, Swedish experiences confirm the Rehn-Meidner view that positive demand shocks and expansionary macroeconomic policies make it difficult to combine full employment with price stability, economic growth and equity even if central wage negotiations are coordinated and trade unions willingly accept wage restraint.
