If you want to work you will be able to get a job in 8 years given all of the government measures which are available, from salary subsidies to start-up assistance to targetted education in order to become qualified for crafts etc. Hell we even have a program where we pay to have people sent down to Germany to learn a trade (and German). If there is a will there is a way, and "structural discrimination" simply cannot account for 75% not being full-time employed (and 50% not even working 1 hour per week).
    You forgot the first point which is that companies may simply not have work for even more people at this point. There are apparently countries where the companies just hire people they don't need to give more people jobs for reasons I'm not aware of. But that's not something we do here in Capitalistan because it costs money we might as well save for the stakeholders. Why give money to a poor person if you could also make a rich person even happier?

    Our companies are crying out for labour and more qualified workers. Sweden is not in a recession and our economy is growing. We are importing a whole lot of workers from India, China as well as of course our European neighbours. It is far from impossible to get a job in 8 years, in fact I'd say it is impossible to get a job if you try for 8 years. At some point you have to stop blaming everyone else and look at what you as an individual are doing (or not doing).
