How about looking for a job after studying in Sweden? Analysis of Employment in Sweden

The advantages of studying in Sweden are obvious. China students like high welfare and free medical care. So what is the employment journey after studying in Sweden? Is the employment prospect after studying abroad really that good? Can you stay in Sweden? Come and have a look with me!

First, the most promising career in Sweden in the next five years

Recently, the Swedish National Employment Bureau released a report, predicting that by 2024, the Swedish labor market will face a talent gap of 654.38 million+(the total population of Sweden is about 654.38 billion+0 billion), of which the talent gap in education will exceed 50,000. In its published list, there are both professional posts that require practitioners to have higher education and technical posts that pay more attention to practitioners' practical skills.

A large number of talents shortage makes many enterprises actively seek overseas talents, and also forces some employers to lower their requirements for academic qualifications and experience to fill the personnel gap. This means that for fresh graduates and new immigrants, especially those overseas talents who have enough experience and qualifications in their own countries but have not been officially recognized by Sweden before, the employment opportunities will be greatly improved.

The report of the National Employment Bureau predicts the occupations that will face fierce competition in 2024-including bank employees, secretaries, real estate agents, financial analysts, investment consultants, photographers, creative and media practitioners (including visual designers, communication experts, public relations personnel, journalists, musicians and composers) and so on.

Sweden has a large number of teachers, which is a good opportunity for overseas educators. However, Sweden has strict requirements for teachers' qualifications, and there are also many restrictions on overseas job seekers. Health care is also one of the most common occupations in Sweden. Sweden's music industry is very strong, and new bands and artists are constantly emerging. The rich talent pool also makes the competition in this industry very fierce.

2. Preferential treatment for working in Sweden

1. the opportunity to move with my family.

The purpose of "family first" in Sweden is fully reflected in the immigration law-when applying for a work permit, you can also provide a spouse or partner (remember what we said in the last issue, when applying for a visa, providing "love certificates" of two people can be treated as family members? ) and unmarried children under the age of 2 1 apply for residence permits.

After arriving in Sweden, family members can continue to study or work in Sweden.

2. Free leave policy

If you have a full-time job in Sweden, you can enjoy four weeks of paid annual leave from June to August every year-the Prime Minister is no exception. If you are unfortunately sick and need rest, you can also get sick pay equivalent to 80% of your normal salary (up to 725 kroner per day) during your sick leave.

In addition, parents in Sweden can enjoy 480 days of paid parental leave before their children reach the age of 12. In 390 days, the government will give parents on vacation an allowance equivalent to 80% of their normal salary-many employers will further make up a certain percentage of their salary.

3. Generous social welfare

Sweden's excellent social welfare can be enjoyed by everyone living in Sweden.

This means that working in Sweden hardly needs to worry about medical expenses, child support and children's education. State subsidies keep these expenses within an affordable range, even without extra money.

4. Reasonable and flexible working hours

In Sweden, overtime is not a thing worth promoting. Improving work efficiency and keeping the balance between work and private life are the lifestyles pursued by Swedes.

The average annual working time of Swedes is161hour, which is equivalent to working only 20 1 day under the 8-hour working system. Many companies even allow employees to get off work early to pick up their children in kindergartens, as long as employees can make up for the time when they get off work early on other occasions.

Third, the reasons for the high employment rate in Sweden

1. Attach importance to education and training, and promote the development and utilization of human resources.

The purpose of Sweden's supply-oriented labor market policy is to better coordinate the existing labor resources and the existing labor demand, which requires guiding the educated and unemployed to enter the labor market reasonably, improving the quality of the employed, updating their knowledge and skills, so as to adapt to technological changes and changes in labor demand and meet the needs of new jobs. In addition, the government also encourages enterprises to provide internal vocational training for employees by providing training subsidies.

2. Establish specialized agencies to strengthen the coordination and guidance of employment.

In Sweden, the Swedish National Labor Market Administration (established in 1948) is a public institution that is fully responsible for employment management and the implementation of labor market policies on behalf of the Congress and the government. The State Labor Market Administration reports to the Ministry of Industry, Employment and Communications, which implements target management for the State Labor Market Administration. The State Administration of Labor Market also implements employment target management from top to bottom, so that the employment problem can be solved in an orderly manner.

3. Emphasize active employment and reform passive unemployment relief.

Social security in Sweden is very developed. Everyone who is excluded from the labor market due to old age, illness, maternity and disability can get compensation through various unemployment assistance. For example, in order to meet the needs of expanding the information industry, we should increase the training of computer information technology and hold various computer training courses to enable the unemployed to regain their employability. The government allocates funds to local employment offices, requiring them to provide employment demand information to various social training institutions, which will hold training courses according to employment demand, and finally the government will purchase the training results.

4. Implement preferential policies and encourage multi-channel employment arrangements.

The Swedish government gives preferential policies to enterprises and individuals through financial subsidies to encourage the creation of employment opportunities and broaden employment channels. The government requires business owners to hire long-term unemployed people registered in employment agencies and give them 50% wage subsidies. In addition, in order to encourage cross-regional labor mobility to reduce the unemployment rate, the government adopts relocation subsidies and resettlement subsidies to bear the cost of people's cross-regional employment.

5. Adopt preferential policies to increase employment opportunities for vulnerable groups.

For example, the government implements the employment plan for the disabled, and gives special subsidies to employers who employ the disabled to help them create suitable working conditions for the disabled, including paying for special equipment needed for the disabled to work and the cost of helping the disabled; Provide wage subsidies for disabled people to make their wages the same as those of normal people; Organize enterprises for the disabled, etc. Sweden's tax reform is also conducive to the increase of female employment rate. For a long time, Sweden's female employment rate is the highest among all industrial countries.

6. Increase investment in technology and build an employment service network platform.

The National Labor Market Administration has established and continuously improved the national labor market information network system by using advanced technology and equipment, including three main databases: employer database, job vacancy database and job seeker database. The website of National Labor Market Administration is known as the "golden link" of Swedish Internet because of its excellent network service and rich information content.

7. Establish the institutional framework of employment policy through relevant laws and regulations.

Employment policy is an important part of Swedish social welfare model. For decades, the Swedish government has formulated and promulgated a series of laws and regulations to promote employment, established and improved the social security system, and constantly revised it according to the changes of objective conditions and needs, providing a legal system basis for solving the employment problem. Among them, the Employment Security Act, which came into effect on 1974, fundamentally restricted the right of employers to dismiss employees freely, and did not follow the tradition of regulating labor relations through collective agreements in the past, thus becoming a turning point in the history of Swedish labor legislation.
