Entrepreneurs in the cultural field

The plan requires that everyone can rely on compensation from the Insurance Agency for illness and parental leave, and it counts small business owners as a group whose conditions resemble the working class. Making safety systems more accessible for culture creators, among other things through targeted information, follows from that together with the plan's commitment to defend independent culture. Since the conditions of cultural workers are not mentioned specifically, the conclusion is inferred.

• safe compensation for alldecisive»När du blir sjuk eller föder barn ska du kunna lita på att få ersättning från Försäkringskassan utan att behöva stånga dig blodig.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“When you become ill or have a child you should be able to rely on getting compensation from the Insurance Agency without having to bleed yourself dry.”
• defend free culture»Vänsterpartiet försvarar den oberoende kulturen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party defends independent culture.”
• small business owners' difficult conditions»småföretagare tillhör varken borgarklassen eller arbetarklassen, men« (party programme ↗)“small business owners belong to neither the bourgeoisie nor the working class, but”
• the small business owner creates value»Du som arbetar hårt inom ditt eget småföretag, i konkurrens med storbolag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You who work hard in your own small business, in competition with large corporations.”

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 demands that insurance systems be adapted to a labour market where many combine employment with self-employment, and that society give artists real opportunities to work. Making conditions safer for entrepreneurs in the cultural field, including through targeted information, follows from both commitments. The social insurance conditions of cultural workers are not mentioned explicitly.

• insurance adapted to self-employmentdecisive»Försäkringssystemen måste avpassas för en arbetsmarknad, där allt fler skiftar mellan studier och förvärvsarbete och där många kombinerar anställning med eget företagande.« (party programme ↗)“Insurance systems must be adapted to a labour market where more and more shift between studies and paid work and where many combine employment with self-employment.”
• support for artists' conditions»Samhället ska stödja kulturlivet och ge konstnärer inom alla konstarter reella möjligheter att utvecklas och att möta sin publik.« (party programme ↗)“Society should support cultural life and give artists in all art forms real opportunities to develop and meet their audience.”
• economic protection with income loss»Ett gott ekonomiskt skydd när den egna förvärvsinkomsten faller bort är grundläggande för den enskildes trygghet och frihet.« (party programme ↗)“Good economic protection when own earned income is lost is fundamental to individual security and freedom.”
• vibrant cultural life»Sverige ska ha ett levande, fritt och obundet kulturliv som både stärker samhörigheten och utmanar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden shall have a vibrant, free and independent cultural life that both strengthens cohesion and challenges.”

The plan wants to improve cultural creators' economic and social conditions, and the party programme establishes that insurance shall be broad, have low thresholds and in applicable parts also cover own entrepreneurs. The counter-proposal's requirements for safer conditions and special information initiatives for entrepreneurs in the cultural field are thus directly supported.

• better conditions for cultural creatorsdecisive»förbättra kulturskaparnas ekonomiska och sociala villkor och modernisera upphovsrätten så att kulturskaparnas rättigheter värnas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“improve cultural creators' economic and social conditions and modernize copyright so that cultural creators' rights are protected.”
• broad insurance with low thresholds»Försäkringen ska vara bred, ha låga trösklar för« (party programme ↗)“Insurance shall be broad, have low thresholds for”
• insurance covers entrepreneurs»studenter och egna företagare.« (party programme ↗)“students and own entrepreneurs.”
• support to the whole cultural sector»satsa på en bred återhämtningsplan för kulturlivet i hela landet, som omfattar både offentliga, fria, professionella och ideella aktörer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“invest in a broad recovery plan for cultural life throughout the country, covering both public, independent, professional and non-profit actors.”

The election manifesto wants to see security systems adapted to entrepreneurs' conditions, and the party programme states that social safety nets should also cover entrepreneurs. Artists and cultural creators who run their own businesses are currently outside, which is precisely the system flaw the plan wants to fix. The plan's commitment to provide culture throughout the country strengthens the reason for making their conditions more secure.

• security systems for entrepreneursdecisive»Även kvinnors företagande behöver främjas, med trygghetssystem anpassade till företagares villkor och en mer jämställd fördelning av det offentliga riskkapitalet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women's entrepreneurship also needs to be promoted, with security systems adapted to entrepreneurs' conditions and a more equal distribution of public venture capital.”
• safety net also for entrepreneurs»också omfatta företagare och studenter.« (party programme ↗)“also cover entrepreneurs and students.”
• culture throughout the country»Att tillhandahålla kultur i hela landet är en viktig utgångspunkt för Centerpartiet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Providing culture throughout the country is an important starting point for the Centre Party.”
• flexibility with security»Svensk arbetsmarknad behöver både mer flexibilitet och mer trygghet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Swedish labour market needs both more flexibility and more security.”

The party programme demands that social insurance is adapted to entrepreneurs' situation and that entrepreneurs' security in sickness and parenthood is strengthened. Measures and information efforts that make conditions more secure for entrepreneurs within the cultural field are an application of this, strengthened by that artistic creation of high quality according to the plan should have good conditions. The plan also welcomes earned income entrepreneurship as a path to self-support.

• strengthened security for entrepreneursdecisive»företagares trygghet vid sjukdom och föräldraskap måste förstärkas« (party programme ↗)“entrepreneurs' security in sickness and parenthood must be strengthened”
• adapted social insurance»Socialförsäkringarna ska anpassas till studerandes och företagares situation.« (party programme ↗)“Social insurance shall be adapted to students' and entrepreneurs' situation.”

The plan places responsibility on the public for ensuring arts have good conditions to operate and requires that equal conditions apply for different forms of business. Cultural creators who in practice stand outside the security systems fall outside the plan's requirement for reasonable security in case of illness, which supports the counter-proposal's demand for measures and targeted information efforts. The plan's small business perspective points in the same direction.

• good conditions for the artsdecisive»Det offentliga har ansvar för att konstarterna får« (party programme ↗)“The public has responsibility for arts to have”
• equal conditions for enterprise»övergripande ansvaret för att likvärdiga villkor ska gälla« (party programme ↗)“overall responsibility for equal conditions to apply”
• reasonable security in case of illness»en rimlig trygghet vid sjukdom, arbetslöshet, arbetsskada och pension.« (party programme ↗)“reasonable security in case of illness, unemployment, work injury and pension.”
• good climate for small business»och vidmakthållas för ett dynamiskt småföretagande,« (party programme ↗)“and maintained for dynamic small business,”

The plan wants conditions for starting and running a business to be good and wants to substantially reduce the administrative burden on companies, and the programme sees a free cultural life as a foundation in a pluralistic society. Measures that make social security systems more understandable and predictable for business owners in the cultural field, including information, are in line with this. The plan does not, however, address cultural creators' social security conditions.

• good conditions for entrepreneursdecisive»Villkoren för att starta, växa och expandera behöver vara goda för att fler ska våga lämna trygga och välbetalda jobb för att starta företag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Conditions for starting, growing and expanding need to be good for more people to dare leave secure and well-paid jobs to start a business.”
• reduced administrative burden»Ta bort en tredjedel av företagens administrationskostnader och en tredjedel av regelkrånglet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove a third of companies' administrative costs and a third of the regulatory red tape”
• free cultural life»Fria medier och ett fritt kulturliv är fundament i ett pluralistiskt« (party programme ↗)“Free media and a free cultural life are foundations of a pluralistic”

The plan wants to improve protection for the income basis for sick benefits and facilitate things for small entrepreneurs during illness and parenthood, and work for a secure and rights-assured sick insurance. Measures and information initiatives that enable cultural creators with their own business to actually take part in the security system are an application of these commitments. The committee's reasons that ongoing investigations should not be prejudged are not addressed.

• protected SGIdecisive»Förbättra skyddet för den sjukpenningsgrundande inkomsten (SGI)« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improve protection for the income basis for sick benefits (SGI)”
• security for small entrepreneurs»Vi vill underlätta för föräldrar som är småföretagare och föräldradagar ska kunna överlåtas till närstående.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to facilitate things for parents who are small entrepreneurs and parental days should be able to be transferred to relatives.”
