Den Svenska Arbetareskyddslagstiftningen Och Yrkesinspektionen

A scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the history and development of labor protection laws in Sweden and examines the role of occupational inspections in enforcing these laws. The book navigates the evolution of these regulations, focusing on the protection of vulnerable groups like children and women in the workforce. The opening of the text establishes a historical context by recounting the harsh conditions faced by child laborers in early industrial England, particularly in spinning mills during the late 18th century. It highlights public outcry over the treatment of these young workers, leading to the formulation of initial labor protection laws, which faced challenges in enforcement due to weak oversight and resistance from employers. Stjernstedt sets the stage for a deeper discussion on the evolution of labor protection laws in Sweden, hinting at the broader implications for worker rights and safety.
