Now S has been involved in voting through a national variant of the Landskrona model for social benefits that I criticized here. "In the decision from yesterday, it is also included that all social welfare recipients must be subject to requirements for compensation in the form of internships or "skill-enhancing efforts". It should strengthen their "position on the labor market", according to the Riksdag. (Aftonbladet Ledare) At the same time, research shows that increased requirements for social benefits only lead to extended benefit periods. Cheap welfare recipient labor can out-compete regular jobs. Social security benefits must be the ultimate security of livelihood to which it must be extremely difficult not to be entitled to. And there is a fundamental difference between contribution and work. Contractual wages shall be paid for work.
