Statarsystemets avskaffande

Sammanfattning

The purpose of this essay was to investigate the procedure surronding the

abolition of the Statarsystem as well as trying to see possible motives for

this abolition. In oder to do so different records from Svenska

Lantarbetarförbundet and Svenska Arbetsgivarföreningen were examined. It

soon became apparent that the procedure itself was not to hard. Both

parties

wanted the system to stop. In short, Svenska Lantarbetarförbundet´s motives

were that statare did not receive a good social status and also that the

system smothered statarna. Arbetsgivarföreningen´s motives were more

financially oriented. They saw a problem in the fact that different groups

of statare were not differentiated enough.
