AbstractThe purpose of this essay is to investigate the priority rules in the event of termination due to redundancy, the rules functions according to the Swedish labour market and which other alternatives that exist besides the priority rules. The alternatives to the priority rules which are introduced in the essay are the Danish Flexicurity-model and a proposal from the Långtidsutredningen 2011. The rule of priority is a very controversial law at the Swedish labour market, which makes the essay also describing the criticism against the rules. The criticism that the essay presents claims that the rules of priority contribute to immobility effects for particularly older employees. Further on the essay presents the criticism towards the rules, that they disadvantage young employees on the labour market. The essay investigates also what the researchers say about the criticism.The results that are presented in the essay points to the fact that the rules of priority contributes to the immobility effects of employees but the rules can not be claimed to be the only reason. Further factor seems so to be at least as important, like the economic situation. It seems to be more obvious that the rules of priority disadvantage young employees on the labour market. The results seems at the same time to be showing the difficulties that exist with employment security, since the increased safety for one group of employees is expensed because of another group. Concerning the alternatives to the priority rules, it?s discussed which possible consequences the alternatives may cause and what differentials they might imply compared to the rules of priority that exists today.
