Today, almost 13 percent of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 are unemployed. That figure is expected to rise to close to 17 percent at the beginning of next year, according to the Swedish Employment Service, which means just over 100,000 unemployed youth.

The government has previously allocated SEK 180 million to the country's municipalities in a summer job initiative. An additional SEK 100 million is now earmarked to strengthen the municipalities' opportunity to create jobs for young people in the autumn.

- This will be a development of the investment we made before the summer, which has been very successful, says Labor Minister Eva Nordmark (S) in Aktuellt.

M: The government has failed

Moderates' economics-political spokeswoman Elisabeth Svantesson welcomes the grant, but believes it is far from enough.

- It will lead to about 30 jobs per municipality in a short time. Of course, that is not enough, she says.

Despite the boom in recent years, the government has failed to get young people to work, says Elisabeth Svantesson.

- In February, we had 20,000 long-term unemployed young people, who, despite a fantastic boom, never came to work. Then I ask myself how the Social Democrats will succeed in a recession, in a crisis.

Nordmark: Classic politics from M

Svantesson therefore calls for, among other things, a grant ceiling, language requirements and that more young people come to work through apprenticeships, where they get to learn the job on the job for a slightly lower salary.

A proposal that Eva Nordmark dismisses.

- It's pretty classic. When the Moderates are given the opportunity to influence politics, then it is about lower wages, that you attack the a-cash and then you make sure to cut the resources for the labor market policy, ”she says.
