Shadow economies - the Nordic strategies
Sep 29, 2015 Carrot or stick? The Nordic countries have different strategies for fighting the shadow economy. Finland and Sweden have used tax incentives to make it cheaper to buy declared labour.

Fewer Swedes want to buy or perform undeclared work
Sep 29, 2015 Today nearly three times as many Swedes are negative towards undeclared work compared to six years ago.
