Abstract

This article presents experience with the first three decades of formalised
common labour market arrangements in the Nordic countries. It traces
the historical roots of Nordic co-operation, and examines how early initiatives
were stimulated to develop free movement for workers and a more open Nordic
labour market during the inter-war years. Post-war momentum towards the
establishment of a common Nordic labour market is then considered, with a
focus on the 1954 Agreement laying down the basic framework and the subsequent
revised Agreement of 1982 which now underpins the modern Nordic
labour market arrangements. Some observations are offered in relation to the
creation of basic building blocks for free movement of workers and integrated
labour market administration, set against the recent backdrop of ‘enlargement’
of the European Union.
