School holiday jobs 2023

To improve young people's entry into the labour market, the Government set aside SEK 150 million (about 13 million euros) in 2023 to strengthen the municipalities' opportunities to create school holiday jobs for young people. Municipalities with high level of unemployment are specifically targeted. A similar effort has been carried out since 2020.

The investment means that municipalities with high unemployment can receive a grant via the Employment Service to create jobs for young people who are in or just have finished upper secondary education and summer jobs for young people who have finished grade nine of compulsory education, and for young people who are covered by the municipal activity responsibility.
