Mental health and work challenges in Sweden
This chapter discusses the current labour market performance of people with a mental disorder in terms of their employment and unemployment situation, with a view on sickness absence and reduced productivity of those working. Building on the findings in the recently published OECD report “Sick on the Job?”, it highlights the key challenges ahead, such as the high share of people on different social benefits who suffer from a mental health condition. The chapter also provides a description and an assessment of the three main systems catering for people with mental illness: social protection and income support, the education system, and health care.
