WageIndicator.org - Minimum Wages Regulations Sweden (cross-checked with Eurofound and Swedish National Mediation Office, Medlingsinstitutet)Sweden has NO statutory national minimum wage. WageIndicator states verbatim: "Sweden has no national legislation concerning minimum wages." This is the Nordic/Swedish ("Ghent") model: wage floors are set contractually through SECTORAL collective agreements between trade unions and employer organisations, not by statute. These agreements cover roughly 90% of employees, exceeding the EU Minimum Wage Directive's 80% collective-bargaining coverage threshold. Of ~700 collective agreements, fewer than 250 specify explicit minimum wage levels (mainly LO blue-collar unions and Unionen); minimum-wage floors are most binding in retail and hospitality. Rates vary by sector, seniority (separate lower rates for under-18s), and four blue-collar skill groups, so there is no single national figure. No authoritative source publishes one canonical statutory number; entry-level negotiated floors are reported by secondary sources to cluster around SEK 24,000-26,000/month, but this is a de facto contractual range, not a statutory rate, so wage fields are left null per the no-invention rule. effective_date reflects the as-of verification date (situation is long-standing, not a dated change). Set basis='no_minimum' because there is genuinely no STATUTORY minimum; sectoral figures exist only via collective bargaining.
