Den lilla kommunen
En fallstudie av Torsås kommuns arbetsmarknadspolitik
The essay's purpose is to find out why municipalities engaged in local labor market policies and the study focused on a smaller survey unit. In the paper an analysis is made of the Torsås municipality's labor market policy. The work also intends to structure the political organization and their cooperation with other players. The survey methods used were interviews and a case study. The essay results are based on two interviews. Informants are key persons and are employed in the organization. Looking to the survey's findings, it was found that the main reason municipalities engage in local labor market policies is because they want their residents to have a good quality of life and that individuals should not go on maintenance support. Based on the results, you can clearly see the theoretical alternative approach appears. Based on the informant's answer, it is that theory that describes how the labor market works. The results of the study indicated additional explanations to the theory. Another declaration of the labor market functioning can be described by means of demand management.
