National Audit Office report on the Public Employment Service's support for persons with disabilities, etc.

The plan requires that someone living with a disability can trust getting the support they need without constantly having to fight for it, and that everyone should be able to have work and self-support. It notes that the group has higher unemployment and wants to create a more inclusive society through strengthened welfare. Shorter processing times, more individually tailored support and a particular responsibility for the public follow from this.

• support without questioningdecisive»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 should be able to rely on getting the support you need, and on your right to participate in society in the way you want not constantly being questioned and impeded.”
• participation through work»Det handlar om allt ifrån att ha arbete och försörjning, vara med« (party programme ↗)“It is about everything from having work and self-support, to being part”
• higher unemployment in the group»Människor med normbrytande funktionalitet har idag som grupp« (party programme ↗)“People with non-normative functionality currently have as a group”
• inclusive society»Vi vill skapa ett mer inkluderande samhälle genom att stärka välfärden« (party programme ↗)“We want to create a more inclusive society by strengthening welfare”

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 explicitly promises more individually designed measures to create jobs or education for people with disabilities, which is the core of the counter-proposal's demand for stronger and more individually tailored support. The plan wants an active labour market policy with an employment agency in state administration, which supports the requirement for a coherent authority role and shorter processing times. That the public sector shall lead as an employer follows from the requirement that everyone's working capacity shall be utilized.

• individualized work supportdecisive»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 designed measures to create jobs or education for people with disabilities.”

• removed obstacles for participation»Undanröjda hinder för personer med funktionsnedsättning att delta i samhällslivet.« (party programme ↗)“Removed obstacles for people with disabilities to participate in community life.”

The plan wants to see more paths into the labour market and improved labour market policy for people with disabilities, and requires that people should not be passed between authorities when they need society's support. Shorter processing times, a unified authority role and better cooperation are precisely that. The plan also places a particular responsibility on the public sector, whose activities shall be accessible to all.

• more paths into the labour marketdecisive»Vi vill se fler vägar in på arbetsmarknaden och en förbättrad arbetsmarknadspolitik för« (party programme ↗)“We want to see more paths into the labour market and improved labour market policy for”
• unified support»se till att människor inte bollas mellan myndigheter när de behöver samhällets stöd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“ensure that people are not passed between authorities when they need society's support.”
• right preconditions for work»Ingen ska heller vara utan jobb för att rätt sorts hjälpmedel inte finns att tillgå på arbetsplatsen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“No one shall be without work because the right kind of aid equipment is not available at the workplace.”
• public sector leads»offentlig verksamhet ska vara tillgänglig för alla.« (party programme ↗)“public sector activities shall be accessible to all.”

The plan requires that matching be improved and that everyone has the right to an effective matching service, that lead times in administrative practice be shortened and that it becomes cheaper and easier to employ those far from the labour market. Long processing times that make employers give up wage subsidy employments go against all this. More individualized and coordinated support thus follows from the plan.

• effective matchingdecisive»Matchningen måste förbättras. Alla ska ha rätt till en effektiv matchningstjänst och det ska bli lättare att hitta medarbetare inom alla yrken.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Matching must be improved. Everyone should have the right to an effective matching service and it should be easier to find employees within all professions.”

Ledtiderna för handläggning och myndighetsutövning i domstolar och myndigheter måste kortas och tillgången till ombud förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Everyone living in Sweden should be able to have their matter examined. Processing times for hearings and administrative practice in courts and authorities must be shortened and access to legal representatives improved.”
• easier to hire»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 far from the labour market.”
• support with 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 should get the support you need, and the state should take greater responsibility for LSS to function.”

The plan makes opening the labour market for persons with disabilities a main task and establishes that public employers shall be models and that the public sector shall take increased responsibility for those far from the labour market. Stronger individually adapted support and special responsibility for the public as an employer are precisely these commitments.

• open the labour marketdecisive»En huvuduppgift är därför att öppna arbetsmarknaden för personer med« (party programme ↗)“A main task is therefore to open the labour market for persons with”
• public employers as model»arbetsgivare ska vara föredömen.« (party programme ↗)“employers shall be models.”
• public responsibility for vulnerable groups»Den offentliga sektorn ska ta ökat ansvar för att« (party programme ↗)“The public sector shall take increased responsibility for”
• clear authority role»Arbetsförmedlingens myndighetsuppdrag ska tydligt skiljas från utförarrollen.« (party programme ↗)“The Employment Service's authority remit shall be clearly separated from its implementation role.”

The plan requires that support and services for persons with disabilities be designed according to the individual's needs, which is the core of the counter-proposal's demand for stronger and more individually tailored support. Compensatory measures are described as necessary, and labour market policy should be supportive when required, which argues against employers being lost due to long processing times. That the state and municipalities should lead by example as employers carries the requirement for a particular responsibility for the public sector.

• support according to the individual's needsdecisive»den enskildes behov. Ansträngningar måste göras för att säkerställa en hög grad av valfrihet i« (party programme ↗)“the individual's needs. Efforts must be made to ensure a high degree of choice in”

The plan wants to shorten the processing time of authorities with an outer time limit and significantly reduce the cost of employing someone far from the job market. The counter-proposal's demand for halved processing times and more individualized support directly meets this, because long waiting times make employers reject the candidate. The plan's work line is built on making use of each person's working capacity.

• shorter processing timesdecisive»Korta myndigheternas handläggningstider genom en bortre tidsgräns« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Shorten the processing time of authorities through an outer time limit”
• lower thresholds for employment»Kraftigt sänka kostnaden för att anställa långtidsarbetslösa« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly reduce the cost of employing the long-term unemployed”

The counter-proposal wants stronger and more individually adapted support, halved processing times and better coordination around people with disabilities. The plan requires that people with disabilities' opportunities to participate in the labour market be strengthened based on individual circumstances, and that processing times be shortened with more flexible and individually adapted decisions. The requirement thus follows from the plan.

• strengthened access to the labour marketdecisive»Funktionsnedsattas och funktionsvarierades möjligheter till deltagande på arbetsmarknaden måste stärkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“People with disabilities and those with functional variation must have their opportunities to participate in the labour market strengthened.”
• individual circumstances»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 circumstances.”
• shorter processing times»Sverigedemokraterna vill också verka för kortare handläggningstider, mer rättssäkra beslut och kvalitetssäkring i utredningsarbetet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats also want to work for shorter processing times, more legally secure decisions and quality assurance in investigation work.”
• individually adapted decision-making»Öka flexibiliteten och individanpassningen i beslutsfattandet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase flexibility and individual adaptation in decision-making”
