Daily activities
Moving from day-activity support to employment
What's at stake: The decision affects people with disabilities who receive day-activity support and who could work or do a work placement with the right support, as well as the municipalities responsible for annually assessing such possibilities.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The question is whether the government should be given a specific mandate to map and facilitate the transition from day-activity support to paid work or work placements, or whether this should continue to be handled within the existing follow-up of disability policy.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee does not think parliament needs to take any specific initiative, pointing out that the follow-up of disability policy - including through MFD's annual reports - already shows how participation and conditions for people with disabilities are developing, including opportunities for work; the motion should therefore be rejected.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 11 (V)
The reservation (V) argues that the government should task the National Board of Health and Welfare with identifying what share of people with day-activity support could be candidates for wage-subsidized employment, mapping the obstacles municipalities face in the annual assessment of possibilities for work or a work placement, and producing guidance material for municipalities.
Summarised from the committee report. Party labels in the summary come from the report, not from the vote.
What do the votes mean here?
Yes The committee proposal: rejecting the motions (keeping things as they are).
No Backing the counter-proposal: reservation 11 by V.
Abstain The party marks a position of its own that is not one of the two final alternatives.
The decision would have held
Explicit commitments that contradicted the vote: SSocialdemokraterna
Ja 277–19Ja 186–110
Counterfactual: the parties above are moved to the position their own documents explicitly point at, carrying their whole contingent present. Every other party keeps its real figures, including dissenters and absentees.
How the AI parties would have voted
For each party: what its own plan – election manifesto and party programme – argues for in this case, next to how the party actually voted. The AI can only answer Yes or No; a party can also abstain.

Committee proposal
Riksdagen rejects motion 2023/24:76 by Nooshi Dadgostar et al. (V) motion 15.
Original (Swedish)
Riksdagen avslår motion 2023/24:76 av Nooshi Dadgostar m.fl. (V) yrkande 15.
Riksdag decision: Riksdagen issues two directives, so-called formal requests (tillkännagivanden), to the government. One concerns guidance for persons with visual impairment and the other concerns the standard amount for personal assistance compensation. Riksdagen considers that the government should review the conditions for free guidance for persons with visual impairment. The government should also review the conditions for regulating the service of guidance in a special law. Riksdagen also wishes to see changes concerning the standard amount for personal assistance compensation, including that the government should annually report how the amount has been calculated. Riksdagen also considers that the government should as soon as possible establish an inquiry with the aim of developing a long-term sustainable financing model for personal assistance compensation that better takes into account the actual costs of different providers. Riksdagen's proposal on formal requests came in conjunction with approximately 90 proposals in motions on support for persons with disabilities from the general motion period 2023 being considered. Riksdagen proposes that Riksdagen reject the remaining proposals in motions by referring to ongoing work. The proposals concern, among other things, rights and living conditions for persons with disabilities, interpreter services and vehicle support.
Counter-proposals
- The counter-proposal wants the government to assign the Social Board to map employment opportunities with wage subsidies for people with day activities. (V) — Reservation 11
Plan vs actual vote
Every party, in chamber order: what its own plan pointed to, how it voted, and the reasoning behind both. Highlighted rows are where the two differ — but a vote that follows the plan is a result too, so the reasoning is there for every party.
The plan establishes that a person with a disability shall be able to participate on the same terms as everyone else, through work and livelihood, and notes that the group has higher unemployment.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan establishes that a person with a disability shall be able to participate on the same terms as everyone else, through work and livelihood, and notes that the group has higher unemployment. The counter-proposal's requirement for a task to identify who in daily activities could have employment, map obstacles and develop support materials responds directly to that commitment. Unemployment is also described in the election manifesto as an enormous waste of people's competence.
Original (Swedish)
Planen slår fast att den som har en funktionsnedsättning ska kunna vara delaktig på samma villkor som alla andra, med arbete och försörjning, och konstaterar att gruppen har högre arbetslöshet. Motförslagets krav på ett uppdrag att identifiera vilka i daglig verksamhet som kunde ha en anställning, kartlägga hinder och ta fram stödmaterial svarar direkt mot det åtagandet. Arbetslöshet beskrivs dessutom i valmanifestet som ett enormt slöseri med människors kompetens.
- work and livelihood for alldecisive»liv. Det handlar om allt ifrån att ha arbete och försörjning, vara med« (party programme ↗)“life. It is about everything from having work and livelihood, being”
- participation on equal terms»hället på samma villkor som alla andra och leva ett gott, självständigt« (party programme ↗)“conditions on the same terms as everyone else and live a good, independent”
- break unemployment in the group»sämre hälsa och högre arbetslöshet.« (party programme ↗)“worse health and higher unemployment.”
- full employment»Arbetslöshet är ett enormt slöseri med människors kompetens och erfarenheter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Unemployment is an enormous waste of people's competence and experience.”
The election manifesto establishes that work and employment are central to participation and wants to see more individually tailored measures to create jobs or education for people with disabilities.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto establishes that work and employment are central to participation and wants to see more individually tailored measures to create jobs or education for people with disabilities. Mapping how many in daily activities could move to employment with wage subsidies and removing barriers is precisely such a measure. The party programme insists that every person according to their capacity has the right to participate in working life. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demands.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet slår fast att arbete och sysselsättning är centralt för delaktigheten och vill se mer individuellt utformade insatser för att skapa jobb eller utbildning för personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Att kartlägga hur många i daglig verksamhet som skulle kunna gå till en anställning med lönebidrag och undanröja hindren är precis en sådan insats. Partiprogrammet håller fast vid att varje människa efter förmåga har rätt att delta i arbetslivet. Planen stöder därför motförslagets krav.
- individual measures for employmentdecisive»Vi vill se mer individuellt utformade insatser för att skapa jobb eller utbildning för personer med funktionsnedsättningar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see more individually tailored measures to create jobs or education for people with disabilities.”
- work gives participation»Arbete och sysselsättning är centralt för delaktigheten i samhället.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Work and employment are central to participation in society.”
- right to participate in working life»Varje människa har rätt och skyldighet att efter förmåga delta i arbetslivet.« (party programme ↗)“Every person has the right and duty according to their capacity to participate in working life.”
- equal participation for all»Vi socialdemokrater vill att alla ska ha lika förutsättningar och lika möjlighet till delaktighet« (party programme ↗)“We social democrats want everyone to have equal preconditions and equal opportunity for participation”
The stance rests on the quoted commitment in the party's own documents; the actual vote deviated. Click the quote to verify it in the document.
The plan wants everyone according to their capacity to be able to contribute through work and that no one shall be without work because aids are lacking at the workplace, starting from the premise that it is the inaccessibility and not the disability that is the obstacle.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan wants everyone according to their capacity to be able to contribute through work and that no one shall be without work because aids are lacking at the workplace, starting from the premise that it is the inaccessibility and not the disability that is the obstacle. A task to map who in day-time activities could come into question for employment and what obstacles municipalities face serves precisely this. The plan does not mention day-time activities, so the position is derived.
Original (Swedish)
Planen vill att alla efter sina förutsättningar ska kunna bidra genom arbete och att ingen ska stå utan jobb för att hjälpmedel saknas på arbetsplatsen, med utgångspunkten att det är otillgängligheten och inte funktionsnedsättningen som är hindret. Ett uppdrag att kartlägga vilka i daglig verksamhet som kan komma i fråga för anställning och vilka hinder kommunerna möter tjänar just detta. Planen nämner inte daglig verksamhet, varför slutsatsen är härledd.
- work according to abilitydecisive»Vår politik ska ge alla människor möjlighet att efter sina förutsättningar genom arbete bidra till samhället.« (party programme ↗)“Our policy shall give all people the opportunity to contribute to society through work according to their capacity.”
- aids enable work»Ingen ska heller vara utan jobb för att rätt sorts hjälpmedel inte finns att tillgå på arbetsplatsen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Nor shall anyone be without work because the right kind of aids are not available at the workplace.”
- inaccessibility is the obstacle»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 obstacle for people with disabilities to be able to function and act freely.”
- equal rights and opportunities»Alla människor, oavsett funktionsnedsättning eller förmågor, ska ha lika rättigheter, möjligheter och skyldigheter.« (party programme ↗)“All people, regardless of disability or abilities, shall 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 election manifesto requires that it becomes cheaper and easier to employ, especially people who are far from the labor market, and that anyone with a disability receives the support needed with greater state responsibility for LSS.

Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto requires that it becomes cheaper and easier to employ, especially people who are far from the labor market, and that anyone with a disability receives the support needed with greater state responsibility for LSS. The party programme states that all obstacles in the way of employment must be examined and that accessibility is decisive. A mandate to map who in day-time activities can move on to wage subsidy employment, and what obstacles exist, is precisely such an examination.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet kräver att det blir billigare och lättare att anställa särskilt personer som står långt från arbetsmarknaden, och att den som har en funktionsnedsättning får det stöd som behövs med ett större statligt ansvar för LSS. Idéprogrammet slår fast att alla hinder som står i vägen för att anställa ska granskas och att tillgängligheten är avgörande. Ett uppdrag att kartlägga vilka i daglig verksamhet som kan gå vidare till lönebidragsanställning, och vilka hinder som finns, är just en sådan granskning.
- easier to employ vulnerable groupsdecisive»Det måste bli billigare och lättare att anställa, särskilt personer som står långt från arbetsmarknaden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It must become cheaper and easier to employ, especially people who are far from the labor market.”
- examine obstacles to employment»Alla hinder som står i vägen för att anställa måste granskas« (party programme ↗)“All obstacles in the way of employment must be examined”
- support for disability»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.”
- full accessibility»Tillgängligheten är avgörande för människor med olika funktionsnedsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“Accessibility is decisive for people with different disabilities.”

The plan makes it a main task to open the labour market for people with disabilities and wants those whose labour supply is limited to have access to wage subsidies.
Plan documents: party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The plan makes it a main task to open the labour market for people with disabilities and wants those whose labour supply is limited to have access to wage subsidies. A task to map how many in day activities could work with wage subsidies and what obstacles municipalities face is a direct part of that commitment. The plan additionally wants to see an employment guarantee and for public employers to lead the way.
Original (Swedish)
Planen gör det till en huvuduppgift att öppna arbetsmarknaden för personer med funktionsnedsättning och vill att den vars arbetsutbud begränsas ska ha möjlighet till lönesubvention. Ett uppdrag att kartlägga hur många i daglig verksamhet som skulle kunna arbeta med lönebidrag, och vilka hinder kommunerna möter, är ett direkt led i det åtagandet. Planen vill dessutom se en sysselsättningsgaranti och att offentliga arbetsgivare går före.

The plan wants people with intellectual disabilities to have an independent life and to be able to participate in society on equal terms, gives employment a special position and requires that state and municipality lead by example in employing people with disabilities.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan wants people with intellectual disabilities to have an independent life and to be able to participate in society on equal terms, gives employment a special position and requires that state and municipality lead by example in employing people with disabilities. That mapping of who in daily activities can move to employment and removing obstacles follows from this.
Original (Swedish)
Planen vill att personer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning får ett självständigt liv och kan delta i samhället på likvärdiga villkor, ger förvärvsarbetet en särställning och kräver att stat och kommun föregår med gott exempel i att anställa personer med funktionsnedsättning. Att kartlägga vilka i daglig verksamhet som kan gå till anställning och undanröja hinder följer av detta.
- participation on equal termsdecisive»med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning till ett självständigt liv och möjlighet att delta i samhället på likvärdiga villkor.« (party programme ↗)“with intellectual disabilities to an independent life and possibility to participate in society on equal terms.”

The plan's employment line is based on the premise that each person's work capacity shall be utilized and that as many people as possible shall be employable.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan's employment line is based on the premise that each person's work capacity shall be utilized and that as many people as possible shall be employable. It promises more internship places and significantly reduced employment costs for those far from the labour market. Mapping how many in day activities could move to a wage-subsidy employment and what obstacles exist aligns with this.
Original (Swedish)
Planens arbetslinje utgår från att den arbetsförmåga varje person har ska tas till vara och att så många som möjligt ska kunna vara anställningsbara. Den lovar fler praktikplatser och kraftigt sänkta anställningskostnader för dem som står långt från arbetsmarknaden. Att kartlägga hur många i daglig verksamhet som skulle kunna gå till en lönebidragsanställning, och vilka hinder som finns, ligger i linje med detta.
- all shall become employabledecisive»till att så många som möjligt kan vara anställningsbara.« (party programme ↗)“so that as many as possible can be employable.”

The plan wants to strengthen the opportunity for persons with reduced work capacity to participate in working life based on individual conditions and states that people with disabilities' opportunities on the labour market must be strengthened.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan wants to strengthen the opportunity for persons with reduced work capacity to participate in working life based on individual conditions and states that people with disabilities' opportunities on the labour market must be strengthened. A mandate to map how many in day services could be relevant for employment with wage subsidies, and what obstacles municipalities face, is a direct means to that.

Planen vill stärka möjligheten för personer med nedsatt arbetsförmåga att delta i arbetslivet utifrån individuella förutsättningar och slår fast att funktionsnedsattas möjligheter på arbetsmarknaden måste stärkas. Ett uppdrag att kartlägga hur många i daglig verksamhet som kan vara aktuella för anställning med lönebidrag, och vilka hinder kommunerna möter, är ett direkt medel för det.
- participation in working lifedecisive»Sverigedemokraterna vill stärka möjligheten för personer med nedsatt arbetsförmåga att delta i arbetslivet och i sysselsättning utifrån individuella förutsättningar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden-democrats want to strengthen the opportunity for people with reduced work capacity to participate in working life and in employment based on individual conditions.”
- strengthened access to the labour market»Funktionsnedsattas och funktionsvarierades möjligheter till deltagande på arbetsmarknaden måste stärkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“People with disabilities and functional variations must have strengthened opportunities to participate in the labour market.”
