| Summary: | In the Nordic countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden – the State has taken on a stronger role in meeting people's needs, replacing the market and the family in the provision of goods and services through the mobilization of economic and social policy. This process advanced after World War II, but lost momentum from the 1970s on, especially after the 2008 financial crisis and the 2015 migration crisis. Even though the Nordic countries remain in a much more favorable position than other countries, the greater resistance to mobilizing economic policy and social policy has been reflected in deteriorating labor market conditions, including an increase in jobs with atypical employment contracts, an increase in those who need to resort to more than one job, worsening working conditions, rising unemployment, and an increase in the duration of unemployment. While everyone in the labor force has been affected, men, usually young, the less educated, and the foreigners have been the groups most affected in this process. |
