Concluding remarks on activation in Sweden

municipal activation requirements started a new form of active measures in a Swedish labour market policy perspective. This trend seems to be maintained since the new Government s proposals entail, in general, increased individual responsibilities and obligations in order to combat unemployment. The new Job and Development Guarantee, which was put into practice very recently, is a clear example of this form of activation requirement policy. This programme
