Hur bestäms lägstalöner vanligen i den svenska modellen år 2026?
How are minimum pay rates usually set in the Swedish model in 2026?
Correct answer: Through collective agreements between labour-market parties
Sweden has no general statutory minimum wage in 2026. Minimum pay is often set in collective agreements, but agreements differ and not all specify a minimum.
