Abstract

Within the context of the future study 'Care in Society' an analysis has been made concerning the relationships between employment, economy and care. The changed economic outlook for Sweden creates problems for employment as well as for the public care systems. Employment in the future will be influenced by: - -the growing labour force; - -the changing structure of the labour market; - -the expansion of the public care systems; - -working hours per week and life. It is argued that shorter working hours--besides positive effects on employment--also will create more favourable conditions for the informal care sector--care in the family and voluntary care. A conscription system for care might be a solution to the problems of care and employment in the future.
