The argument of interest on interest was derogatory for the employer, as the employer, according to the writer, was not punished but simply did not have to pay wages to someone who was not at the workplace. The writer questioned why the employer should be forced to pay for something it neither chose nor could influence. The writer also stated that Danish companies were exempt from employer contributions and that Denmark had a labor market contribution of 8 percent, which was deducted directly from employees' salaries to finance labor market policy. According to the writer, this meant that other employees essentially financed individuals who were not working. The writer argued that those referring to Denmark should therefore first advocate for the abolition of employer contributions and then that employees should pay for others' absences from work. The writer described the article as very poor. #arbetsmarknad #företagande #politiskdebatt (translated)

Now Sveriges Radio is reporting extensively on rapes against the elderly in home care. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about just this – about how elderly care has long functioned as a labor market for integration policy for newly arrived and immigrant labor. Some points from my review: • Elderly Minister Anna Tenje notes that elderly care has for too long been used as a labor market and integration policy arena: “Almost anyone has been allowed in.” • Foreign-born individuals account for 31.8 percent of the wage sum in care, compared to 19.1 percent in the economy as a whole. Care is the welfare sector with the highest proportion. • Of the over 20,000 unaccompanied men who arrived in 2015, 27.5 percent are now working in care, social services, and welfare – about 5,500 people. • Employers can receive very large government wage subsidies to hire, among others, newly arrived individuals. A home care entrepreneur describes to Fokus how employers are actively fed information about the support. • The Employment Service also states that the authority does not impose its own requirements for education, language, or suitability when someone is matched with elderly care: “It is the employer who sets the requirements.” • And the question that still lacks a proper answer: is there a connection between this recruitment and integration policy and the abuses? Anna Tenje says that the knowledge situation is too poor to draw that conclusion. The Crime Prevention Council has therefore been tasked with mapping the crimes.
