Write-off of student loans for certain professional groups

The plan requires that healthcare be equitable and accessible regardless of where in the country one lives and that staff shortages be addressed, and that education and study funding not depend on the thickness of one's wallet or place of residence. Investigating reduced student debt for doctors and nurses working in rural areas aligns with these commitments.

• equitable healthcare throughout the countrydecisive»Sjukvården måste vara jämlik, jämställd och tillgänglig, oavsett var i landet du bor och oavsett vem du är.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Healthcare must be equitable, equal and accessible, regardless of where in the country you live and regardless of who you are.”
• address staff shortages»Därför vill Vänsterpartiet satsa mer resurser på hälso- och sjukvården och äldreomsorgen, samt satsa på personalen så att vi samtidigt får bort personalbristen och stärker personalens villkor och arbetsmiljö.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Therefore, Left Party wants to invest more resources in healthcare and elderly care, and invest in staff so that we simultaneously eliminate staff shortages and strengthen staff conditions and working environment.”
• study funding shall not hinder»Det måste bli lättare att utbilda sig efter grundskolan oavsett vem du är, tjockleken på din plånbok eller var i landet du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It must become easier to pursue education after primary school regardless of who you are, the thickness of your wallet or where in the country you live.”

The plan places an explicit state responsibility for skills provision in welfare and wants to give more support to specialist education for nurses, while the state should be present throughout the country and healthcare be equivalent everywhere. Investigating reduced student debt for doctors and nurses working in rural areas is a means to precisely this goal. However, the plan does not identify debt forgiveness as a tool, so the support must be inferred.

• state responsibility for skills provisiondecisive»Staten har ett ansvar för att säkra kompetensförsörjningen, inte minst i välfärden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state has responsibility for securing skills provision, especially in welfare.”
• support for specialist education in healthcare»mer stöd till specialistutbildningar i vården, exempelvis för sjuksköterskor och undersköterskor« (2022 manifesto ↗)“more support for specialist education in healthcare, for example for nurses and nursing assistants”

The plan states that healthcare should maintain the same quality regardless of where in the country one lives and that study support should be strengthened. A system that reduces student loans for doctors and nurses who commit to working in rural areas lies in line with both these commitments and with the plan's requirement for welfare across the country. The plan, however, does not take a position on debt write-off aimed at certain professions, so the conclusion is derived.

• equivalent healthcare across the countrydecisive»Du ska ha rätt till en bra vård, oavsett var i landet du bor« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You shall have the right to good healthcare, regardless of where in the country you live”

The election manifesto explicitly uses study grant write-off as a tool to recruit staff to occupations with labour shortages throughout the country, and the same logic supports the counter-proposal's requirement for reduced student loans for doctors and nurses in sparsely populated areas. The plan also wants to attract more nurses with targeted economic incentives such as graduation premiums and salary during specialist studies. Since the plan requires safe and close care regardless of where you live and accepts regional policy instruments, it argues for investigating such a system.

• study grant write-off as recruitment tooldecisive»Med hjälp av fler vägar in i läraryrket och studiemedelsavskrivning kan vi rekrytera fler behöriga lärare i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“With more pathways into teaching and study grant write-off, we can recruit more qualified teachers throughout the country.”
• economic incentives for healthcare staff»Vi vill rekrytera fler sjuksköterskor genom att införa en examenspremie och ge lön under specialiststudietiden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to recruit more nurses by introducing a graduation premium and providing salary during specialist studies.”
• equivalent care throughout the country»Alla ska ha en trygg polisnärvaro, en likvärdig skola och en trygg och nära vård och omsorg — oavsett var de bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Everyone must have safe police presence, an equivalent school and safe and close care and support — regardless of where they live.”

The plan's instruments for staffing care across the entire country are working conditions, more colleagues and wage development so that shortage professions become dream jobs, not targeted write-offs of student loans. On student finance, the plan wants a general five-year CSN pause and incentives tied to degree completion, not occupational choice or place of residence. The counter-proposal's demand for reduced student loans for doctors and nurses in sparsely populated areas thus falls outside the plan's line.

• conditions and wages solve shortagesdecisive»För att klara det måste de som arbetar inom vården mötas av goda arbetsvillkor, fler kollegor och bra löneutveckling. Bristyrken ska bli drömjobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To manage that, those working in healthcare must face good working conditions, more colleagues and good wage development. Shortage professions shall become dream jobs.”
• general CSN pause»vill vi dessutom införa en femårig CSN-paus, så att du när du vill ska kunna ta ett uppehåll från din återbetalning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“we also want to introduce a five-year CSN pause, so that you when you want can take a break from your repayment”
• incentives tied to degree completion»Det ska finnas drivkrafter för studenter att tillgodogöra sig en examen med normal eller högre studietakt,« (party programme ↗)“There shall be incentives for students to acquire a degree at normal or higher study pace,”

The election manifesto makes it a main objective that care should be available throughout the country and that place of residence should not determine what healthcare you receive, with more health centres in rural areas. The party programme allows that general regional policy stimuli can be complemented with targeted measures. To investigate reduced study loans for doctors and nurses in sparsely populated areas thus lies within the plan's line.

• care close by throughout the countrydecisive»Fler vårdcentraler på landsbygden och enklare för enskilda läkare att starta egen verksamhet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More health centres in rural areas and easier for individual doctors to start their own operations”
• care regardless of place of residence»Var i landet du bor ska inte avgöra vilken sjukvård du får.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Where in the country you live should not determine what healthcare you receive.”
• general stimuli first»Regionalpolitiken ska medverka till att en god grund för näringslivet i sysselsättningssvaga områden skapas i första hand genom generella stimulansåtgärder.« (party programme ↗)“Regional policy shall contribute to a good foundation for business in low-employment areas being created in the first instance through general stimulus measures.”
• targeted measures as complement»Dessa insatser kan sedan kompletteras med riktade åtgärder.« (party programme ↗)“These efforts can then be complemented with targeted measures.”

The plan itself uses student loan write-off as a tool to staff a prioritized profession: student loans are to be written off for those who train and begin work as police. The same instrument tested on doctors and nurses in sparsely populated areas aligns with the plan's demand for more hands in care and better competence supply, and with welfare functioning regardless of where in the country one lives. Therefore, the plan supports the request to investigate such a system.

• write-off as a recruitment tooldecisive»Skriva av studielånen för den som utbildar sig och börjar arbeta som polis« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Write off student loans for those who train and begin work as police”
• more hands in care»Stärka vårdens medarbetare, bland annat genom att förbättra arbetsmiljön och möjligheterna till vidareutbildning – det behövs fler händer i vården som kan korta vårdköerna och avlasta personalen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen care workers, among other things by improving working conditions and opportunities for further training - more hands are needed in care to shorten care queues and relieve staff”
• equal care throughout the country»Du ska kunna känna dig trygg med att välfärden fungerar oavsett var i landet du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You should be able to feel secure that welfare works regardless of where in the country you live.”
• strengthened competence supply»Få på plats en nationell samordning över samhällets behov av antalet utbildningsplatser för att förbättra kompetensförsörjningen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Put in place a national coordination of society's need for the number of training places to improve competence supply”

The plan commits to good and accessible healthcare also outside major cities and to ensuring care in sparsely populated regions, and identifies inadequate professional recruitment as a main problem. Investigating reduced study debts for doctors and nurses working in rural areas is a means for precisely that goal. The plan says nothing about the committee's reason that such debt relief may be perceived as unfair and is difficult regional policy instrument.
