    La subvención startup sueca; un estudio cualitativo del éxito y fracaso

  • English

    Start-up Grants (SG) for the establishment of small firms has been held up as a successful labor market policy. This study shows however that success and failure could be viewed on different levels and form different angles. On the company level, the SG can generate success by allowing for the flexible start, but also contribute to a breakdown by its rules and regulations. Form an employment perspective, the grant in itself can both “open” and close the “doors” to future employing opportunities. On the individual level the SG can put people in conditions imprinted by financial difficulties and deficient work conditions.
