<p>Essay in political science, D-level, by Samanta Pudic´, spring semester 2009. Tutor: AlfSundin. “Implementation of a job guarantee for young people. - A study on the struggleagainst unemployment at the municipal level”</p><p>The purpose of this dissertation is to examine if municipalities could affect theimplementation of labour market policy measures to reduce unemployment among youngpeople. To be able to say something about the implementation process I have been using fourmunicipalities as examples- a large and a small community with the Social Democrats as themajority party and a large municipality and a small municipality in which the Center Party hasstrong position. In this study four politicians who work in each municipality have beeninterviewed and four municipal officials who are responsible that job guarantee for youngpeople is implemented.</p><p>To compile empirical material, analyze and bring to a conclusion seven conditions and ananalysis model have been designed. This study is a qualitative study focusing on how a jobguarantee for young people at local level is taken to tackle unemployment among youngpeople. Based on the generalized analysis is investigated if there are trends and patterns in theselected municipalities in order to present general aspects that could also say something aboutthe nearby municipalities.</p><p>The answers to my research questions are that there is no pattern to suggest that partypolitical dimension or size of municipalities would have an impact on how municipalities areimplementing job guarantee for young people.</p>
