Research group Labour market regulation (AMR)

At AMR (Labour market regulation), forensic research is conducted on the regulation that governs the labour market. It includes labour law, the rules that give substance to the relationship between employers and employees, as individuals and as a collective.

The focus is on civil law as well as public law regulation, including discrimination law. Furthermore, things that affect entry and exit into the labour market, including social and unemployment insurance, are included. Common to the regulation of the labour market in the 2020s is that it is governed by international commitments that have a direct impact on the Swedish labour market and applicable law. The research at AMR thus largely concerns EU law and other European law.
