Sweden's job market is undergoing a significant transformation driven by the green transition, creating new employment opportunities and skill demands.

Despite a rise in unemployment in 2024, a turning point is anticipated as the demand for green jobs increases.

The shift towards sustainability, mandated by both EU regulations and domestic laws, is generating roles that often do not require a university degree.

Vocational training programs, such as those for wind turbine technicians and solar energy projectors, are becoming vital pathways to employment.

However, there is concern about potential job migration to low-wage countries outside the EU, as expressed by European labor unions.

In Sweden, the focus remains on adapting to these changes, leveraging its access to fossil-free energy and innovation leadership to maintain competitiveness in the evolving market.
