Tidölaget's strategy is to, after a short time, lower the unemployment fund by 5% every 100 days until it reaches a bottom of SEK 8030 before tax per month. This contrasts with the needs of the long-term unemployed. These are often functionally varied often functionally varied or long-term illness and cannot cope with the low-wage jobs the government advocates to solve unemployment. Citizens want to lower the reservation wage to reduce the rate of wage growth. The reservation salary is the lowest salary you can think of when looking for work. Vote against the slaughter at the unemployment fund!
Risk of more low-wage workers with SD
This policy is created by the government with the support of the Sweden Democrats. Nevertheless, the Sweden Democrats had promised to protect social security and health insurance. The Sweden Democrats are now helping to worsen both.
Voices for democracy risk being silenced
A policy for low-wage workers threatens democracy. Important social voices, such as journalists and cultural workers, may be silenced in the labor market for fear of the low unemployment insurance. Critical voices are especially needed in a time of weak productivity and high work-related ill health.
To create more low-wage workers
The journalist Dan Josefsson revealed that a reduced social security fund can create a working poor class in society, which leads to increased suffering for many groups. Niklas Blomqvist, PhD in economics, points out that Deteriorated unemployment insurance does not create more jobs.
How to create more jobs
Low-wage workers hold down purchasing power. High purchasing power is important against unemployment. Studies show that reduced unemployment benefits do not lead to significant reductions in unemployment. Instead, Blomqvist and Arbetsförmedlingen advocate intensive job placement and employment support for vulnerable groups to increase employment. We need too more labor market training and the opportunity to study at university with social security even for part-time sick leavers and part-time early retirees. A large part of the job matching shortage probably stems from the deterioration in labor market education that took place during the Alliance 2006-2014. Increased purchasing power leads to increased demand for labour. This is crucial to reducing unemployment. But reduced unemployment insurance reduces purchasing power.
Alliance policy and consequences
The coalition government's policies during 2006–2014, which included cuts to social security and benefits, had far-reaching consequences such as increased unemployment, a worsening working environment and reduced resources for the public sector. Citizens' focus on reduced wages and deterioration of welfare threatens society's stability and democracy.
Low unemployment insurance lowers productivity
Another aspect of the government's actions is its impact on productivity. By reducing the unemployment insurance and social insurances, those who want to reduce these want to get more workers to accept low-wage jobs under worse working conditions. The middle class must decrease and more will leave their good works. This in turn can lead to weaker productivity in the labor market.
Historically, policy decisions involving reductions in social insurance and benefits have also had negative consequences for productivity. Much research shows how good productivity has a lot to do with the economy of the workplace, public investments in society and research, available labor with high know-how, high, general purchasing power and good working conditions. The coalition government's policy during the period 2006–2014 is a clear example of this. By lowering social insurance and worsening working conditions, they also contributed to increased unemployment. Sweden has a high level of work-related ill health then The alliance's reforms gained momentum 2007. and a general deterioration of the working environment. Research shows that relaxed and equal working conditionsrelaxed and equal working conditions increases creativity and the ability to solve problems.
Poor people get mental illness
Then people often become mentally ill from e.g. social security fund too low. New research shows that jobseekers with good financial security looking for jobs more efficiently. Low a.kassa not only lowers the job search, but can lead to suicide. For really low incomes corresponds to every 500 kroner a month more or less a month a mental illness or a medicine against the same.
Sustainable labor market increases efficiency
It is therefore of great importance that the government considers the long-term consequences of its measures. Creating a sustainable and productive labor market requires measures that promote both employment and working conditions. Cutting unemployment and social insurance may well lead to an increase in low-wage workers, but it is uncertain whether it will actually solve the underlying problems of unemployment and productivity.
Conclusion
The iron-clad wage law says that low wages and deteriorating working conditions increase with reductions in society's welfare and create an insecure labor market. In order to promote a sustainable economy and a fair labor market, measures are required that strengthen welfare, strengthen purchasing power and increase the demand for labour. A simple measure would be to expand the public sector and remove the understaffing there. This no need to increase taxes on low-income earners and the middle class.

They are apparently prepared to dismantle Sweden as an industrial country. As apparently the entire EU is prepared to dismantle Europe as an i-country. Better upper class in Congo than equal in a rich country, seems to be their motto. In any other way, one can hardly explain their eagerness to let the capitalists outsource the production resources from the 80s onwards.
Latin America is otherwise a prime example of this kind of politics. With enough people on starvation wages, you can even make proletarianized middle-class people like teachers and lower bureaucrats feel content - they can get people to clean their houses or dry their kids for next to nothing. In this way, there is no threat to the real upper class, which can subjugate a larger share of the GDP than anywhere else in the world.
José Gabriel Palma is a Chilean economist active at Cambridge who has investigated this phenomenon, see his article Why is inequality so unequal across the world? on https://ideas.repec.org/p/cam/camdae/1999.html
The right is not for economic efficiency but for more for the richest at the expense of everything else.
How is it then that we cannot relegate them to insignificance?
It is certainly not to their credit that they can continue to expand.
They have power over the newspapers, advertising, TV/movies (and the propaganda it is), the economists, the lawyers, the military, the police, the state of the world, etc. We live in a giant information society which is really a big propaganda society to get us to accept our hard work for low compensation, our high expenses and that we will all perish in war and environmental disaster. Read in an article that the propaganda apparatus was created at the same time that the democracies were born in Europe around the end of the Second World War to control the masses. Around the same time, the economists invented the policy of austerity to recreate class society.
Then the left has some problems. Equality is the best. But at the same time, education, entrepreneurship and taking responsibility must pay off a little, but then the vulnerable workers become sour and vote far-right. Then the left can forget about people's need to make mistakes in small things and to have some easy pleasures.
But if we just get more to talk about and read about politics, we can fix it.
We must show that the left is best at creating a nice world and life for everyone.
It is to a moderate extent about the spread of ideology and to an overwhelming extent about organization. Today, no one dares to organize anything, everyone relies on spontaneity and loose networks that often don't even meet in real life, but only on Facebook. Therefore, no one believes they have the ability to do anything. That is, it does not dare to trust its spontaneous expressions of life (to use a concept from theology) but believes in authority without really believing in it - hence the hatred it actually encounters.
A belief in a possible just society began to spread in parallel with August Palm starting to organize trade unions. Well, he was not alone, see e.g. Kjell Östberg's Folk in movement (though read it with the understanding that Östberg hates farmers and does not include them in his story - and they were more than half at the time) and perhaps even better the predecessor EH Thörnberg's Folk movements and social life in Sweden, from 1943. I have also modestly contributed to the documentation, see https://magasinetkonkret.se/helgessan-folkrorelser-%e2%80%92-en-svensk-tradition/.
So if you just start organizing a popular movement against e.g. the rentierization of the economy and for real investments, preferably linked to trade union issues and to the environment and peace, see https://gemensam.wordpress.com/2023/02/08/den-allsidiga-krisen-kraver-en-ny-sorts-program/, then more will believe in themselves and fewer will believe in liberal politicians.
And there we actually have to blame ourselves for not doing this!
Yes we need to organize a physics grassroots movement.
I think all individuals have a responsibility to work and develop their skills and this can mean that you have to start from a low level or with an easier job, then with time and experience you rise through the ranks and earn more and get more responsibility!
Well, it's always been that way. But with the increasingly bourgeois line of work, highly competent people have to restart their careers at the lowest level again and again in life. This risks making people quieter in their jobs and not daring to speak up against bullying and various bad management decisions for fear of being unemployed and soon ending up in the toughest, low-paid job available. If you understand economics, you also understand that we can afford to create an economy with good jobs for everyone and where, after long education and solid experience, you are not constantly forced to start over again and again not to make society or production better but only to ensure that the passive rich have access to low paid, disenfranchised servants.
