This is the eighth webinar in the webinar series that the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth is arranging within the framework of the government assignment Work in Sweden. The first part of the webinar, with these presentations, will be recorded and can be viewed afterwards. At the end of the webinar, the recording will end and there will be an opportunity to ask questions. The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth will continue the webinar series during the autumn, at approximately one-month intervals, on current issues and themes related to our continued work with Work in Sweden.
