Just AI will have a significant impact on the labor market in the future, states investigator Håkan Olsson at a press conference.
Dialogue and discussion on work sites are a success factor for creating a sense of security more than a fear of it, he says.
The strategy, which has been handed over to Minister for Equality and Employment Nina Larsson (The Liberals), also addresses work environment as a question for Swedish competitiveness. Up to 4 percent of Sweden's GDP can be affected by a poor work environment and sick leave.
It's very big numbers we're talking about, says Olsson.
He also states that working life has been extended and that the welfare is facing big challenges regarding competence supply. The competences of the elderly need to be taken into account more than today, he says.
The strategy also addresses fatal and work accidents and work-related crime. Last year, 38 people died at work. It is stated that those who cheat can draw certain benefits on the labor market, and that's something we can't have, continues Olsson.
Håkan Olsson also states that women run a double risk of being affected by stress-related illness, and when it comes to work accidents, it is mainly men who are affected by it.
We still have in Sweden a strongly sex-segregated labor market.
He proposes that more policy areas need to be involved in matters of work environment and that cooperation needs to increase between the parties of the labor market. A new national coordination function for work environment is also proposed to be established at the Ministry of Employment.
