It should go well for Sweden right now. We are in an economic boom, more jobs, is growing and employment is rising. Many go to work every day, pay taxes and contribute to the common welfare. This is a welcome development. But in a time when many curves are pointing in the right direction, it is particularly important to remember that it is not going well for all. That economic development does not. Sweden is shared and the gap is growing between the young and the elderly, between the highly educated and those who have no high school diploma, between native and foreign-born. During the height of the economic boom are also the many smaller towns of the cutbacks in the wake of globalization.
This Saturday, is a of the big social problems that we must solve. A new social underclass could otherwise emerge.
To reduce the dichotomy is about identifying the most vulnerable. To implement reforms to unemployment is not to become entrenched the harder. It is about that Sweden needs a new leadership.
the social democrats take the good times to mean that nothing need change. The centre party, choose instead a responsible economic policy, where we reject the government’s proposal to borrow to expenditure and bidragshöjningar in the economic boom. We strengthen the public finances with eleven billion more than the government in 2017. This means that we have a budget in balance next year, while the government runs deficits.
at the same time, we focus our scope on to break the dichotomy of Sweden, we spend over 16 billion already next year in our budgetmotion on this. It is a powerful initiative to replace the passivity and dependency towards the hope and confidence in the future. We suggest the following:
• Reduced the employer’s contribution with ingångsavdrag.
Sweden has one of the highest sysselsättningsgapen between the domestic and the foreign-born in the EU. We also have the EU’s lowest proportion of so-called simple jobs, i.e. jobs that are possible to get into without training requirements. These two phenomena are related. Both the Fiscal policy council as Arbetsmarknadsekonomiska the council considers that Sweden needs more simple jobs. Such is created by making it cheaper to hire people with such little education and lack of language skills. The centre party has listened in the research criticism of the halved social security contributions for young and lived in accordance with their recommendations, a more powerful and accurate proposal. Our proposal means that both young people and newcomers won’t have the employers ‘ contribution the first two years on the labour market, the year which usually is the most difficult. The reduction applies only to the first 16 000 crowns of the monthly wage, which focuses ingångsavdraget to the groups that need it the most. We are abolishing completely the employer’s contribution for young people under the age of 18 years and want to take away the employer’s contribution altogether when a company hires its first employees. In total, this amounts to just over sek 13 billion annually.
• Extend the rut-deduction.
Ruth has created many jobs for those who have it the toughest in the labour market, made the black job white and given many a start as entrepreneurs. Half of the women who run the rut-companies are foreign born. Every third employee in the rut-the company is utrikesfödd. Every fourth employee has no more than lower secondary education. While the government is implementing cuts in the rut-the reform we want to raise the pace, and instead create the conditions for more jobs. The ceiling in the rut should therefore be increased from 25 000 to 75 000 sek annually, more services shall be added to and enhanced the rut for the elderly to be introduced. Bet amount to over 500 million per year.
• Before ingångsföretag.
By making it easier to start a business can also take this step. Especially important is this opportunity for young and newly arrived. We are creating a new form of companies with up to 250 000 in sales with skattebyråkrati and rules to an absolute minimum, a bet of 600 million.
• Strengthen the civil society.
civil society actors, such as business associations, charities and sports associations creates networks that often are better at finding jobs for the newcomers than the authorities. We therefore want to give civil society opportunities to implement mentor programmes, language support, internships, and other efforts to shorten the path to the first job. This wager amounts to slightly more than sek 200 million a year.
• Wagering on the municipalities.
at the same time we add 50 billion in the next four years to strengthen local government finances, 10 billion more than the government. This is the extra resources municipalities, for example, can use to meet integrationsutmaningen, see to improve the chances to get a job through that strengthen the school and further education. But it is the municipalities themselves who determine the priorities. There is no contradiction between educating and training those who are outside the labour market and to create more simple jobs. For many newly arrived adults are not years in the classroom a realistic or good option, they want and they need to come in to work. Therefore, we need both the roads to the job.
in Order to fund our bets takes great frugality. In our budget pared costs for our authorities, and ineffective programs are discontinued.
We want to reform the ineffective labour market policies in the foundation. Many ineffective programs in government platspolitik should be shut down and resources focused on what works, at the same time as A cashier to be reformed. The employment service must, in the long term completely replaced by the other independent intermediaries, such as the unemployed can choose for themselves, and only be rewarded with public funds for their efficiency and performance to convey the real lasting jobs. In this way, the stakes may be strengthened, at the same time we can reduce expenses by 8 billion.
to finance our investments, we are also making the biggest change ever in Sweden by the height of the tax on emissions and a reduction in taxes on jobs, the so-called green tax shift.
in the past, the Centre party proposed the abolition of exemptions from the carbon tax, the introduction of a kemikalieskatt and incentives to accelerate the transformation of the Swedish fleet. We are now strengthening this by, inter alia, propose an extended kemikalieskatt. In total, the Centre miljöskattehöjningar to more than 8 billion crowns during 2017.
A good cost and responsible funding allows offensive jobbförslag without jeopardising the public finances. It is by protecting the public finances and break the dichotomy on the labour market as we see that the Swedish economy stands stronger in the coming years. It is through a strong climate and environmental policy as we look to Sweden and the world is stronger during the coming centuries. So we want to give Sweden a new leadership.
