This paper discuss the possibilities to transfer the Danish labour market policy, called flexicurity, to Sweden. There are two main purposes of this essay. The first purpose is to discuss the reasons why the Danish labour market policy could be interesting for Sweden. The second purpose is to investigate which obstacles that might occur during the transfer. For guidance I have used two startingpoints which highlights the Danish flexicurity's pros and cons. In my analysis I have applied the analysis of ideas. My information consists mainly of reports from the labour union and the Danish ministry of labour. One conclusion of my paper is that, Sweden could adopt some parts of the Danish system, especially the part of flexibility. Another conclusion is that there are a few obstacles such as the job security in Sweden and the industrial culture differences. The last conclusion is that there are some shortcomings within the Danish flexicurity like that the high unemployment compensation makes the labour more passive.
