The government's and the co - operation parties' autumn budget will include a proposal for sharply reduced employer contributions for young people between the ages of 19 and 23.

The proposal is intended to enter into force on 1 April next year and will cost the state almost SEK 9 billion per year over a two-year period.

- It is about giving Sweden an economic fresh start and a head start for the industries that are now having the toughest time, says Annie Lööf to Dagens Nyheter.

The reduction will thus be one of the budget's largest items, which in total will include reforms and crisis measures for more than SEK 100 billion.

- This will be a double win for the jobs.

On the one hand, costs are being sharply reduced for the industries that are now having the toughest time, such as the service sector with trade and the hospitality industry.

The second benefit will be that more young people can keep the job and that more young people can find their first job, Annie Lööf continues.

Refers to new research

Reductions in the employer's contribution for young people are not a new approach.

The Alliance Government implemented a similar reduction during its time, which was, however, removed after the change of government in 2014, partly due to evaluations that showed that it was an expensive measure that did not result in very many new jobs.

But according to Annie Lööf, there is now new research that shows that the reduction had a greater effect compared with what previous studies have concluded.

- This is an effective measure, shows the research that has been looking at this for a long time, she says.

The box deduction is increased

Annie Lööf further states that the budget will include an extension of the box deduction with both more services covered and a higher ceiling for the deduction.

From 1 January, it is proposed that the ceiling for route services be raised from SEK 50,000 to SEK 75,000 per person and year.

New services covered are, for example, assembly of furniture and transport of household goods to flea markets or second-hand shops.

The autumn budget will be presented on 21 September.
