Abstract

During the 1990s many changes have been carried out in Sweden in terms of forms of insurance for sickness and work‐related injury. The need to carry out these measures has its background in developments that took place over the course of the 1980s. In that decade, instances of both short‐ and long‐term sick leave, including periods covered by payment of disability pensions, increased substantially. This resulted in a sizeable increase in insurance costs. To counteract this negative trend, a number of measures were implemented over the first half of the 1990s. The task of change is not complete, but discussions on new measures continue. The Committee for Sickness and Work Injury has put forward a number of proposals in its final report.
