Full-time employees in municipally driven elderly care earn an average of 2,300 kronor more per month compared to full-time employees in privately driven elderly care.
The proportion of part-time employees in 2024 among private providers was 63 percent, compared to 41 percent in municipally driven elderly care, according to the report based on figures from Statistics Sweden (SCB).
According to the Municipal Union, the profits of welfare companies are created through worse wages and terms for the employees.
"The figures speak their clear language, employers in privately driven elderly care continue their strategy of using more temporary and more part-time to maximize their profit", says Malin Ragnegård, chairperson of the Municipal Union, in a press release.
