Declining union memberships are a fact in both Sweden and Finland. At the same time, the autonomous Labour market parties and the high membership rates are the most significant factors for the two countries compared to Europe and the rest of the world. These two factors have in turn been developed and strengthened since the beginning of the twentieth century. By autonomous Labour market parties I refer to the fact that the Labour market parties themselves through collective bargaining are agreeing on the Labour market conditions, without interference from the government.This paper is therefore taking it's stance in the question of what happens with the autonomous Labour market parties when the membership rates are in decline. With this in mind, this paper describes the judicial development, the collective agreement and Labour market structures, the legal consequences of collective agreements and the opportunities of industrial and sympathy action in both Sweden and Finland. The two countries' systems of labour law have caught some negative attention, hence two of the most discussed cases of recent years are given some attention as well. The collective judicial conditions are very similar in both Sweden and Finland regarding the Labour market main actors' collaboration, the collective agreement structures and legal consequences and the opportunities of industrial and sympathy action.

This essay examines whether feminist theory can give a plausible answer to the question: does female and male students have different attitudes towards the Labour market and towards wages? Further more, I examine if factors such as class and ethnicity affect student's attitudes. These questions are investigated through a quantitative study of students at four educations on two different universities in Sweden. Two of the educations have a high degree of female students, and the other two represent educations with at high degree of male students.The main conclusion is based on the quantitative research results. Female and male student's attitudes are similar in some cases.

The average age of the working population in Sweden is increasing, along with the number of retirements. Meanwhile, the number of people entering the Labour market is declining. In order to avoid a loss of key skills and competences because of the resulting labour gap, and to ensure future economic growth, it is vital to utilise the aging labour force more efficiently. Nevertheless, many Swedish companies are inefficient in managing their aging workforce. In fact, it has emerged that senior workers in Sweden are discriminated against their age and not attractive on the Labour market.
