Sweden welcomes moved by EU to help it export its unemployed youths to other EU countries.
Monday, 17 June 2013
Now Sweden is counting on the new EU rule to help assist it cut its
skyrocketing youth unemployment as the new policy from the EU that will
ease increased mobility of unemployed youths could see more Swedish
unemployed youths being forced abroad in order to reduce ballooning
unemployment at home .
Sweden is happy for the new rule that will make it easier for more
Swedish young people to get a job in another EU country. The project is
called Your first EURES job and is funded by the European Commission.
It will ensure that there is increased labour movement within the
Union.
But how will it be a realism that Swedish youths would be happy
to get on their bikes and just go to another EU country with a new
language and ways of life and a different culture to take a job? Why
are they not doing so now when they still have the right as EEU
citizens to do?

Sweden is confused and lack skills to deal with skyrocketing youth
unemployment, no doubt about that. The only shame in all this is that
Sweden is persistently classed as one of the most competitive economies
on the world – how do that attain this remain a leader board question.
Not long ago, Norway was vacuuming Sweden’s young job seekers. Besides
grumbles from the Norwegian job seekers, officials of the Norwegian
labour unions and politicians in Norway have been vocal and have warned
Sweden that Norway will not help Sweden solve its youth unemployment
problems. They had said that Sweden should try to stop exporting its
unemployed to Norway.
Gisela Sarri, EURES coordinator told radio Sweden that the aim of the
“Your first EURES” rule is to increase the mobility of labour across
the EU region, with beneficiaries meeting conditions such as:
age, and that the
- job seekers must be an EU citizen and legally resident in an EU country.
- The job being sought after should be in another EU country.
- job seeker will not benefit from jobs sought within their own country.
And the purpose of it is to increase mobility throughout the EU. Job
seekers who are between 18 and 30 may be helped with job matching and
interview trip. One can also get a financial compensation, something
that is entirely new, according to Gisela Sarri.
One can get compensation when going for a job interview and can also
get compensation if they get employed in their new country. It is a
payment based on the country they have found jobs in. So it is a lump
sum that one gets, she says.
