Sweden is known as a nation of high taxation and progressive labor and family policies, yet the World Economic Forum increased Sweden’s rank to second in the world on their competitiveness index in 2010. Do the robust family and labor policies in Sweden point to a new model of economy growth grounded on the principles of strong employment and strong two-wage-earner households that align social welfare and economic policies?
Please join CAP as we welcome Swedish Minister of Social Security Ulf Kristersson and our expert panel to examine the key elements of Swedish economic and social welfare policy to draw lessons for countries at different levels of development as they design or reform their own social welfare systems, as well as their application to stabilizing and expanding America’s middle class.
