To its advocates, the Swedish welfare state builds on a strong social consensus favoring extensive state intervention to ensure a high quality of life for all Swedes. To its critics, the Swedish system is marked by excessive government intervention and attendant inefficiencies. These contrasting views are captured in imagery used by Prime Minister Göran Persson: "Think of a bumblebee. With its overly heavy body and little wings, supposedly it should not be able to fly--but it does." The Swedish welfare state is the bumblebee that has managed to fly. This book draws on many years of IMF surveillance and policy advice to explain how it has done so, to assess the challenges that the Swedish model faces in the new century, to propose a strategy for dealing with those challenges, and to draw lessons for the many other countries that face similar challenges from globalization and demographics. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Welfare state.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85146037 650 0 Public welfare|zSweden.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008110253 650 0 Labor market|zSweden.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009128303 650 04 Economische politiek. 650 04 Marché du travail. 650 04 Politique gouvernementale. 650 04 Politique économique. 650 04 Verzorgingsstaat. 650 04 Économie. 650 04 État-Providence. 650 7 Economic policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 902025 650 7 Economic conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919582 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Welfare state.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1173685 650 7 Public welfare.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1083250 650 7 Labor market.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/990036 651 0 Sweden|xEconomic policy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008111980 651 0 Sweden|xEconomic conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85131040 651 0 Sweden|xSocial conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh85131114 651 4 Suède. 651 7 Sweden.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204537 655 4 Electronic books. 655 4 Computer network resources. 655 7 Statistiques (Descripteur de forme)|2rasuqam 700 1 Thakur, Subhash Madhav,|d1946-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no94011419|eauthor. 700 1 Keen, Michael,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n84235502|eauthor. 700 1 Horváth, Balázs,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ nr93000123|eauthor. 700 1 Cerra, Valerie,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no98097099|eauthor. 710 2 International Monetary Fund,|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n81052755|eissuing body. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tSweden's welfare state.|dWashington, D.C. : International Monetary Fund, ©2003|w(DLC) 2004297967|w(OCoLC)52242715 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=449523|zOnline eBook.
