Government's legislative proposal

The plan wants to make all parts of society accessible and finds that insufficient accessibility and adaptation continue to lead to poverty and exclusion. Exempting up to 80 percent of student housing from accessibility requirements goes directly against that, and a viewing possibility does not fulfill the plan's requirement for participation on equal terms. The counter-proposal to maintain current requirements is thus supported.

• entire society accessibledecisive»och göra alla delar av samhället tillgängliga.« (party programme ↗)“and make all parts of society accessible.”
• insufficient accessibility excludes»och anpassning leder fortfarande till fattigdom och utestängning.« (party programme ↗)“and adaptation continue to lead to poverty and exclusion.”
• right to participate in society»På samma sätt ska du som lever med funktionsnedsättning kunna lita på att du får det stöd du behöver, och på att din rätt att delta i samhället på det sätt du vill inte ständigt ifrågasätts och försvåras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In the same way, you who live with a disability shall be able to rely on receiving the support you need, and that your right to participate in society in the way you wish is not constantly questioned and made difficult.”
• disability perspective in all decisions»Funktionshinder är ett perspektiv som« (party programme ↗)“Disability is a perspective that”

The election manifesto establishes that people with disabilities should be able to live their lives like others, and the party programme gives everyone the right to own housing and full freedom of movement regardless of functional ability. Exemptions from accessibility requirements for up to 80 percent of student housing runs counter to this. The commitment to affordable rental apartments weighs less than the right to participation. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demands.

• live like othersdecisive»Personer med funktionsnedsättning ska kunna leva sitt liv som andra.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“People with disabilities should be able to live their lives like others.”
• right to own housing»funktionsförmåga, har rätt till arbete, eget boende, full rörelsefrihet och ett aktivt liv.« (party programme ↗)“ability, have the right to work, own housing, full freedom of movement and an active life.”
• equal participation»Vi socialdemokrater vill att alla ska ha lika förutsättningar och lika möjlighet till delaktighet« (party programme ↗)“We social democrats want everyone to have equal conditions and equal opportunity for participation”
• affordable rental apartments»Vi ska fortsätta att bygga hyresrätter som vanligt folk har råd att bo i.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We should continue to build rental apartments that ordinary people can afford to live in.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The party programme states that lack of accessibility is itself a form of discrimination and that it is the inaccessibility that constitutes the real barrier for persons with disabilities. It also demands housing for all regardless of disability. An exception for 80 per cent of student housing goes against this, so the plan supports that the demands are maintained.

• inaccessibility is discriminationdecisive»Bristande tillgänglighet är i sig en typ av diskriminering och måste därför bli en ny diskrimineringsgrund.« (party programme ↗)“Lack of accessibility is itself a type of discrimination and must therefore become a new ground for discrimination.”
• remove inaccessibility»Det är otillgängligheten i samhället som utgör det verkliga hindret för att personer med funktionsnedsättning ska kunna fungera och verka fritt.« (party programme ↗)“It is the inaccessibility in society that constitutes the real barrier for persons with disabilities to be able to function and act freely.”
• housing for all»Minst lika viktigt är att det finns bostäder för alla oavsett socioekonomisk situation eller eventuella funktionsnedsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“At least equally important is that there is housing for all regardless of socioeconomic situation or any disabilities.”
• equal rights»Alla människor, oavsett funktionsnedsättning eller förmågor, ska ha lika rättigheter, möjligheter och skyldigheter.« (party programme ↗)“All people, regardless of disability or abilities, must have equal rights, opportunities and responsibilities.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The party programme states that accessibility is crucial for people with disabilities and that the party wants to create a society with full accessibility, and the election manifesto promises that those with disabilities shall receive the support they need. Exempting four-fifths of student housing from the requirements pulls in the opposite direction. At the same time, the plan wants simple building regulations and more housing, which makes the trade-off uncertain.

• full accessibilitydecisive»Tillgängligheten är avgörande för människor med olika funktionsnedsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“Accessibility is crucial for people with various disabilities.”
• support for disabilities»Du som har en funktionsnedsättning ska få det stöd du behöver, och staten ska ta ett större ansvar för att LSS fungerar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You who have a disability shall receive the support you need, and the state shall take greater responsibility for LSS to function.”
• strengthened prohibition on discrimination»Vi vill stärka bland annat äganderätten, diskrimineringsförbudet, minoritetsskyddet och minoritetsspråkens ställning, och grundlagsskydda rätten till abort och reproduktiv hälsa.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to strengthen, among other things, property rights, the prohibition on discrimination, minority protection and the status of minority languages, and constitutionally protect the right to abortion and reproductive health.”
• more housing is needed»En förutsättning för utveckling är att det finns tillräckligt med bostäder i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“A prerequisite for development is that there is sufficient housing throughout the country.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The party programme establishes that Sweden shall be an accessible country and that lack of accessibility shall be regarded as discrimination, and that the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities' article on the right to live independently and participate in society shall become law. An exemption for four-fifths of student housing runs counter to that. The plan's desire to simplify building standards does not outweigh such an explicit commitment.

• lack of accessibility is discriminationdecisive»tillgänglighet ska ses som diskriminering.« (party programme ↗)“accessibility shall be regarded as discrimination.”
• accessible society»Sverige ska vara ett tillgängligt land.« (party programme ↗)“Sweden shall be an accessible country.”
• right to live independently»att funktionsrättskonventionens artikel om rätten att leva självständigt och delta i samhället blir till« (party programme ↗)“that the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities' article on the right to live independently and participate in society becomes”
• simplified building standards»Byggnormerna bör förenklas,« (party programme ↗)“Building standards should be simplified,”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan requires that special consideration is taken to elderly and people with disabilities in housing planning and that accessibility in society increases with high requirements. An exception that allows four out of five student housing units to not meet accessibility requirements goes in the opposite direction and makes the housing visitability rather than livability. The counter-proposal's requirement to maintain current requirements thus aligns with the plan.

• consideration in housing planningdecisive»Särskild hänsyn måste också tas till äldre och till personer med funktionsnedsättning.« (party programme ↗)“Special consideration must also be taken to elderly and to people with disabilities.”
• increased accessibility»Ett annat viktigt sätt att minska funktionsnedsättningens betydelse är att öka tillgängligheten i samhället. Det ska vara självklart« (party programme ↗)“Another important way to reduce the significance of disabilities is to increase accessibility in society. It shall be self-evident”
• housing supply for all»Stat och kommun måste därför trygga bostadsförsörjningen åt alla, i olika åldrar och med olika sociala och ekonomiska förutsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“State and municipality must therefore secure housing supply for all, in different ages and with different social and economic prerequisites.”
• social sustainability in building»Utmaningen är att klara hållbarhetsbegreppets tre dimensioner samtidigt; social, ekologisk och ekonomisk hållbarhet.« (party programme ↗)“The challenge is to manage the sustainability concept's three dimensions simultaneously; social, ecological and economic sustainability.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan observes there is a housing shortage in 207 of the country's municipalities and wishes to implement reforms that increase construction, among other things through simpler building plans and drastically reduced bureaucratic red tape. The counter-proposal instead wishes to retain today's accessibility requirements in full and refrain from the easements that are to make it possible to build more and cheaper student housing. This goes against the plan's line to lower the threshold for construction.

• fler bostäder ska byggasdecisive»Vi vill genomföra reformer som ökar byggandet av såväl hyressom bostadsrätter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We wish to implement reforms that increase construction of both rental and owner-occupied housing.”
• enklare byggregler»Ersätta avancerade detaljplaner med enklare byggplaner« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Replace complicated detailed plans with simpler building plans”
• minskat regelkrångel»Ta bort en tredjedel av företagens administrationskostnader och en tredjedel av regelkrånglet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove one-third of companies' administrative costs and one-third of bureaucratic red tape”
• akut bostadsbrist»I 207 av landets 290 kommuner råder det idag bostadsbrist.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In 207 of the country's 290 municipalities there is today a housing shortage.”

The election manifesto wants to facilitate residential construction by reviewing building standards and the extensive regulations and requirements that govern construction, and particularly improve young people's opportunities to acquire a first home. The counter-proposal wants to retain today's accessibility requirements and thereby stop the easings for student housing. This goes against the plan's demand for simplified building regulations and more housing with lower rent.
