Svenska Dagbladet, 19 September 2013
Following her appointment in a surprise cabinet reshuffle on September 17, the
new minister for labour, Elisabeth Svantesson, told Svenska Dagbladet that she
wants stricter conditions for welfare recipients, a longer trial period for new
employees, which she intends to extend from six months to a year, and increased
funding for employers who recruit foreigner workers.
With a year left to run before general elections, Prime Minister Fredrik
Reinfeldt also replaced the minister for international development cooperation,
Gunilla Carlsson, whose position will now be taken by former labour minister,
Hillevi Engström.
On September 18, Reinfeldt also presented a draft budget for 2014, which
includes a total of 15 billion kronor (!1.7bn) in tax cuts.
