Olle Lönnaeus: the Conservatives ”arbetslinje 2.0” – the carrot and the stick to get … – Helsingborgs Dagblad

Anna Kinberg Batra, is now launching the "the work-first principle 2.0" – policies with which the Alliance re-taking power in Sweden.

What distinguishes the new work-first principle from Fredrik reinfeldt’s old?

Answer: The moderate work-first principle in 2016 has full focus on that with the whip and the carrot to get immigrants into the job.

"the Problems with integration is huge," said Anna Kinberg Batra, as she on Wednesday announced the party’s skuggbudget together with the economic-political spokesperson Ulf Kristersson.

When the conservative Alliance won the elections in 2006 on its "arbetslinje" – reduced taxes and contributions – the goal was to eradicate "social exclusion", that is to say, make sure that everyone who had jobs came into the labour market.

It went so-so. When the government Reinfeldt lost the elections in 2014, the unemployment rate was as high as ten years earlier.

Now the Conservatives spent two years at a self-criticism and a rethinking of the policy.

This applies not only to migration policy, where last year’s wave of refugees, Anna Kinberg Batra, to dispose of reinfeldt’s "open hearts" on sophögen, but also integration and jobs.

While Reinfeldt promised to combat "social exclusion", the goal is for Anna Kinberg Batra, to break "the new alienation".

On pressträffen in the parliament, she pointed out, and Ulf Kristersson that many of the refugees who come to Sweden in recent years have very poor education, and that, therefore, there is a need for more simple jobs.

In his skuggbudget – called Plan for a stronger Sweden – suggest the Conservatives to clear out in the thicket of complicated rules and subsidies, and lays down two principles:

” It is a new arrival, or had been unemployed for longer than a year, it will be greatly reduced anställningskonstnader for several years. In addition to newcomers and the young unemployed have to devote 25-40% of the arbetsiden to learn the job on the job in the “förstajobbet-employment”.

the Carrot for the individual to take a förstajobbet-employment is becoming a substantial tax cut: For income up to 12 000 sek a month, there not a dime in taxes.

But of course, there are also whips in the moderate skuggbudgeten.

newly Arrived immigrants who lack compulsory schooling is imposed on an utbildningsplikt for that they should be forced to make themselves "employable".

in Order to put pressure on people to get a job introduces a ceiling. A family will max be able to get 75 per cent of the lägstalönen in contributions.

the Conservatives do in their budgets are also major investments in the school and more police officers.

at the same time strikes Anna Kinberg Batra and mr. Ulf Kristersson of the chest and claims to bring a more responsible economic policy than the government. "In the economic boom, the state shall not borrow", is the moderate mantra.

While the minister of finance Magdalena Andersson (S) reaches the balance in the city’s budget in 2018, promises the Conservatives to do that already in 2017.

How successful the Conservatives with it?

the Answer is that Anna Kinberg Batras skuggbudget also contains sharp åstramningar. The moderate party intends to strengthen the treasury with 33 billion by tightening the rules in health insurance, "streamline" the reception of migrants and to scrap a series of labour market measures.

In the sum actually included also a series of tax increases, including the height of the vat on food.

According to the "work-first principle 2.0" is it okay to raise a tax, so long as it is not a tax on work.
