Reading about globalisation and Sweden's labour market
What the lesson covers
In this lesson, we read from another report, "Globalisering och svensk arbetsmarknad" ("Globalization and the Swedish Labor Market") is a 2018 report authored by economists Fredrik Heyman and Fredrik Sjöholm . The study analyzes the impact of globalization on Sweden's labor market from 1997 to 2013, utilizing detailed data on employees and companies.

Globalisering och svensk arbetsmarknad. Globalization and Swedish labor market.
Globaliseringen har ökat kraftigt under de senaste decennierna. Detta beror både på teknologiska landvinningar och på en politisk vilja till handelsliberaliseringar. Som ett resultat har globala produktionsmönster förändrats.
Globalisering is of course "globalization". Har ökat - has increased, has gone up. Öka - to rise, to increase. Kraftigt. Kraftigt means severely, with power because kraft is power. Significantly, kraftigt.
Under de senaste decennierna - under the last decades, so in recent decades. Detta beror både på - both on, so this is due to both.
The video plays beside a transcript that follows it line by line. Swedish words are underlined; tap one and the video pauses, the meaning appears, and the word goes into your library. At the end there is a five-question quiz written from this exact lesson, and every word can be practised out loud.
