Book Description
This report presents a preliminary knowledge status about implications of the sharing economy for labour markets and employment relations in the Nordic countries. It also reviews how the Nordic countries and their social partners approach the sharing economy and issues relating, amongst other, to its legality, regulation, taxation, and terms of competition. There is so far scant supply of statistics, data and research in this field. The employment potentials and consequences of the sharing economy will, amongst other, depend on the governments’ and the organized actors’ responses to these challenges. Currently, all the actors seem to be in a phase of knowledge gathering and deliberation of possible policy options, cautiously avoiding taking steps that might obstruct the development of the sharing economy.

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.

Book Description
Abstract: Two years after the enlargement of the EU a certain pattern has emerged in the labour migration streams from the new EU member states to the Nordic countries. Individual labour migration is growing, but varies strongly among the Nordic countries. Labour mobility related to services has increased strongly, and seems to exceed regular labour migration in key sectors. In a context of strong growth and emerging labour shortages, the Nordic economies and labour markets have clearly benefited from the growing influx of labour but also faced new challenges in terms of regulation, enforcement and control of working conditions for posted workers. At the European level the implementation of the Posting of Workers Directive 96/71/EC is under evaluation, the Laval/Vaxholm case is pending in the European Court of Justice, and the proposed Services Directive accentuates questions concerning the control of conditions for posted workers. In parallel, several Nordic and other European countries have repealed the transitional arrangements for individual labour migration, and many other countries have signalled a gradual lifting of their arrangements until 2009. Also these changes will confront parts of Nordic working life with demanding tasks in securing equal treatment for foreign workers. The purpose of this report is to give an overview of the development in the Nordic labour markets during the first two years after EU enlargement, and sketch some of the main challenges the Nordic labour market models are facing in the open European labour market. The report is prepared on the basis of the cooperation within a Contact Group under the Labour Market Committee of the Nordic Council of Ministers, and is written by Jon Erik Dølvik and Line Eldring (Fafo), who have coordinated the work of the Contact Group

Book Description
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.

Book Description
The outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008 has had significant effects on economic activity, unemployment, and public finances for all European countries. However, European economies do not form a homogenous region, and any serious analysis of macroeconomic imbalances in Europe must account for the fact that different economic and political models and circumstances operate across the continent. This book focuses on the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) which have a relatively good record of undertaking fiscal and structural reforms after their own financial and debt crises in the 1980s and 1990s. The Nordic countries are small and open economies, well-known for their high income levels, high employment rates, organized labour markets, a relatively equal distribution of incomes, and large public sectors. From this perspective, the book asks whether there are lessons that might be learned from the Nordic economies. Is there a distinctive Nordic model that could be usefully followed, by other small open economies, in terms of fiscal and monetary policy design, labour market policies and reforms, and financial and housing market regulation? It is inappropriate to define the Nordic model in terms of a common set of policies. Since the key characteristics, including the overarching objectives and supporting institutions, have strong historical foundations, copying and pasting them to other countries is not easily done. Even though the Nordic experiences are not directly transferable, they may add new knowledge about the importance of institutional design, fiscal consolidation, and structural reforms not only for macroeconomic performance but also for how to preserve key objectives such as social balance and equity.
