Celebrating 60 years with a borderless labour market

May 08, 2014 The agreement on a common Nordic labour market was signed on 22 May 1954. It means when the labour market goes belly-up in one country, Nordic citizens can look for a future in a different Nordic country. The Nordic Labour Journal hears six stories representing each of the six decades of borderless Nordic cooperation. They provide unique snapshots of time. These are tales of searching for a better existence and of the opportunities resulting from the Nordic countries' comprehensive cooperation. We also tell the story of how the unique agreement came to be as early as in 1954.

Refugees — burden or resource?

Nov 27, 2015 In a short amount of time refugees’ chances of getting to the Nordic countries have been dramatically reduced. In the first ten months of 2015 , before the tightening of rules, more than 170,000 people applied for asylum in a Nordic country. Many of the new arrivals will be turned down.

Working life research and the future

Oct 23, 2015 Working life research and the future Where are the working life researchers in the debate about the future? asks Ann Bergman, Professor in working life science at the University of Karlstad. Despite big changes when it comes to gender, ethnicity and class, not many studies consider how this will influence working life. At the Norwegian Work Research Institute, researchers have been studying the vision of the new working life, where work is said to be more about doing something meaningful than earning money. Is that right? And how will the enormous flow of information known as Big Data influence working life research?
