Nearly half of all unemployed people today have been registered with the Swedish Public Employment Service for more than 12 months and are thus defined as long-term unemployed. An increasing number of those enrolled are also far from the labour market and are considered to belong to the group with weak competitiveness. Unemployment is the most common of three reasons why a person cannot support themselves or their family, the other two are social reasons and illness and ill health. In recent years, more than half of all adult recipients of aid in the country have had unemployment as the closest reason for obstacles to their livelihood. A long-term need for assistance risks in the long run a great vulnerability and exclusion and also for the individual's family. The group of long-term unemployed beneficiaries due to social reasons is one of the most challenging groups to help support themselves and enrolment times for this group are increasing overall, despite fewer people seeking support. Many have been offered various types of assistance on a regular basis, but still fail to provide support for their livelihoods. Research shows that the longer the unemployment period, the lower the likelihood of leaving unemployment. Several factors are behind long-term sick leave and aid dependency; some of a structural nature such as labour demand and the availability of work and education, rising skills requirements and the costs of hiring with a trend towards increasing specialisation and formal skills requirements. There is also some discrimination on the part of employers with an unwillingness to accept individuals from the target group. The Public Employment Service's working methods have changed following staff reductions and office closures in connection with the 2019 Budget Bill. The Public Employment Service's reorganisation has affected the allocation of resources and tasks, which has had a negative impact on people with the greatest need for help and the digitalisation of the Public Employment Service's various services has meant that many are unable to manage their enrolment and jobseekers themselves. Individual factors such as the level of education and work experience, health and family situation both influence and reinforce each other. Among the individual factors, there are also factors that we have not yet been able to identify or map. Co-morbidity is another individual factor important in this context. Co-morbidity means that a person meets the criteria for several diseases and people with co-morbidity is a particularly vulnerable group where the link between more severe addiction and mental illness combined with social exclusion such as homelessness, unemployment and indebtedness is clear. The Swedish Public Employment Service has made the assessment that there are individuals for whom their own efforts are not sufficient or even exhausted. Therefore, it is also likely that there are jobseekers within the group who have very little chance of permanent establishment on the labour market, regardless of the labour market policy measures that they take part in. However, there are large differences within the group and the needs may differ, which is why it is considered possible that some of the individuals could go to work or education if they benefit more from interventions with an evidence-based effect. It is stressed that leaving unemployment is more likely if more jobseekers benefit from the right input at the right time or from chains of inputs over a longer cohesive period. The Public Health Agency of Sweden describes on its official website the risks of unemployment linked to mental illness and suicide, which is why it is of great value to make adapted jobs and alternative employment available to those who lack the prerequisites to perform a job. The new Social Services Act states that social services should be preventive and easily accessible, which means that social services need to offer interventions that are attractive and accessible from the individual's perspective, not least to reach people who are otherwise difficult to reach. In the Co-morbidity Inquiry, the mission of the social services regarding outreach and other preventive measures and social focus is clarified by strengthening the individual's resources. Target group The target group of the project is adults of working age 16-64, who are long-term unemployed; primarily those who are long-term unemployed for social reasons and are very long-term recipients of assistance. The target group of long-term unemployed corresponds to about 27 per cent of all people in the country who were enrolled in the job and development guarantee in November 2022. In Piteå, we currently have almost 70 known individuals belonging to the target group, divided into the age groups 30-40 and 41-60. In 2021, the task of Collaboration between the Labour Market and Support for Supply was completed (the Swedish Civil Construction and Social Services Administration
