Co-operation programmes (Nordic Council of Ministers for Labour)

In its co-operation programme for 2022 to 2024, the Nordic Council of Ministers for Labour outlines the strategic focus for formal Nordic governmental co-operation in the field of the labour market. The co-operation programme is based on Vision 2030 and the strategic priorities of creating a green, competitive, and socially sustainable Nordic Region. The focus will particularly be on the long-term challenges arising from the climate crisis, increased digitalisation, and technological development. On top of that, the COVID-19 pandemic brought difficulties and changes for everyone. As the entire world is in the process of adapting, it’s important that the Nordic Region is prepared and plays an active role in shaping the future of the labour market.

Programme for the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Co-operation on Labour 2022-2024

The joint Nordic labour market is one of the cornerstones of Nordic co-operation. A large and competent workforce is our most important resource and the basis for both a competitive Nordic labour market and for the development of the Nordic welfare societies. That’s why the co-operation programme for 2022 to 2024 set out by the Nordic Council of Ministers for Labour aims to strengthen development, knowledge, and best practices in addressing common challenges in the Nordic Region’s labour market. The aspiration is to create solutions, proposals, and initiatives, thereby contributing to the development of national policies in each country.
