Written mainly for a non-Swedish audience, this document has a twofold purpose: (1) to examine how and to what extent the further education and training of the labor force is both presently and prospectively dealt with in collective bargaining agreements and other workplace negotiation processes in the Swedish labor market; and (2) to examine the potential and limits of government intervention in the area of human resource development in working life. Eight of nine substantive chapters deal with the following topics: the development of continuing education in Sweden; training policy in the Swedish model; the volume, cost, and benefits of adult education and training; labor relations and collective bargaining; legal arrangements for training policy; negotiated contracts involving training policy; the views of Swedish trade unions on future training policy; and the views of Swedish employers on future training policy. A final chapter presents conclusions of the study with regard to training policy in collection negotiations, the regulation of training policy, the financing of training policy, the prospects for training policy during the 1990s, and the need for explanatory research. The appendix contains a 28-question interview guide for members of the major partners in the Swedish labor market. The document includes a list of 108 references. (CML)
