Description
The National Labour Market Administration (Arbetsmarknadsverket - AMV) consists of the National Labour Market Board (Arbetsmarknadsstyrelsen - AMS), which is the central authority, as well as 20 County Labour Boards and approximately 325 local public employment services. AMV is restructuring the organisation and in 2008 AMV and AMS will merge into one authority in order to decrease costs. The planned job reductions are approximately 800 and it is expected that the cuts will be achieved by means of voluntary resignments or retirements.
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
