Swedish Government Study Calls for More Full-time Jobs

A study commissioned by the Swedish Employment Ministry states that companies with ten or more employees should be limited to hiring only full-time workers.

The study also says that part-time or temporary workers employed for three years should be given the right to demand a full-time job from their employer. At least 200,000 Swedes—75% of whom are women—are stuck in part-time jobs but seek full-time employment, according to the study.
