Labor Market Implications of Artificial Intelligence: Sweden

The rapid uptake of Artificial Intelligence by Swedish enterprises is poised to reshape the country’s occupational landscape. While the technology offers substantial potential gains for Sweden’s workforce, more so than the EU on average, the associated labor displacement costs are likely to fall unevenly; Information Communication Technology professionals, less-educated workers, young people, and immigrants tend to face the greatest threat. Policies that facilitate labor mobility across regions and sectors, and better align the education system and labor market needs can help smooth the adjustment.
