Measures to prevent Youth Unemployment among Nordic Countries

Facing similar challenges in relation to youth unemployment, all Nordic countries teamed up in 2010 to find solutions to the problem. As a point of departure, Ramboll Management Consulting carried out a study that was to map measures which had already proven successful in the Nordic countries. The aim of this was to gain insights into how future challenges with youth unemployment can be prevented and - in the longer run – how labour shortage due to demographic changes can be avoided.

Result-based management in the Employment and Integration Administration (BIF)

Together with BIF, Ramboll established a change theory for the sickness benefit area. Furthermore, a visitation tool was developed for sickness benefit recipients. The value of the collaboration with Ramboll is estimated by the client to be DKK 30-40 million annually. This is due to a more efficient and targeted visitation as well as the direct savings in sickness benefits expenditures. The project was awarded the 'Master Case' title in 2011.
