Area of Science:

  • Socioeconomics
  • Public Health
  • Labor Economics

Background:

  • Nordic countries excel in global rankings for prosperity, productivity, social equity, trust, and health.
  • These achievements are potentially linked to their unique organization of working life.
  • The Nordic working life model emphasizes coordinated wage bargaining and strong employer-employee relations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the core elements of the Nordic working life model, with a focus on Norway.
  • To discuss the challenges posed by globalization to this model.
  • To analyze the potential influence of these challenges on public health.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive review of relevant academic research.
  • Analysis of the Nordic working life model's structure and outcomes.
  • Assessment of global trends impacting labor markets.

Main Results:

  • The Nordic model, characterized by coordinated bargaining, leads to productive enterprises, minimal wage disparities, positive work environments, and high well-being.
  • Globalization trends like liberalization, increased migration, platform economy, reduced unionization, and precarious work threaten the model's reliance on standard contracts.
  • These challenges may lead to increased social inequity, diminished generalized trust, and adverse effects on public health.

Conclusions:

  • The Nordic working life model is effective but faces significant challenges from globalization.
  • Adaptation to globalization and technological change is crucial for maintaining Nordic societal achievements.
  • Policymakers and stakeholders must proactively address these trends to preserve the model and public health.
