Labor law is legislation specifying responsibilities and rights in employment, particularly the responsibilities of the employer and the rights of the employee. Research in the field focuses on traditional labour law, but also labour market policies.
Labour law’s sphere of activities has undergone a major transformation the last 50 years. In the past it it sufficed to determine what followed from Swedish law. Today the subject includes both European and global dimensions.
Sweden's integration with Europe in the field of labour law has created side-effects influencing both education and research. Many research projects in labour law reflect the European influence, whereas other projects are still deeply rooted in the traditional Swedish model.
