Sweden has always maintained a low unemployment
rate until 1990s. At the beginning of 1990s, more and more immigrations came to
Sweden and many European countries started to adjust the government policy and
industrial structure, which lead to a short-term economic crisis. Then, the
unemployment declined to the normal level.

rate in Sweden

the above picture we can see it clearly that the unemployment rate really
hasn't changed much from 2002 to 2010, meanwhile, it fluctuates around 7%. The
possible reason is listed.

national institutional framework by the employment policy, relevant laws and
regulations.

The
youth unemployment rate is the number of unemployed 15-24 year-olds expressed
as a percentage of the youth labor force. Youth unemployment is high in Sweden.
Too many graduated students swarm into the labor market every year. The number
actually exceeds the quantity of demand. It is a serious problem not only to
the Sweden government but also extra countries.

has a big impact on the world-wide economy, and the unemployment rate has a big
impact on the Sweden economy. That deserves our attention.
