arbetsmarknadens

Arbetsmarknadens is the Swedish genitive form of arbetsmarknaden, meaning the labor market’s or of the labor market. It is used to indicate possession, association, or relation to the labor market, and appears in analytical, policy, and legal texts as well as in everyday language. Examples include arbetsmarknadens parter (the labor market’s parties) and arbetsmarknadens villkor (the labor market’s conditions).

Linguistically, arbetsmarknadens is formed by taking the definite singular noun arbetsmarknaden (the labor market) and adding the possessive suffix -s. In Swedish, the genitive possessive is typically expressed by attaching -s to the definite form rather than using separate possessive endings for each case.

Common usage covers a range of topics tied to the labor market, such as regulations, dynamics, and actors. Typical collocations include arbetsmarknadens aktörer (the labor market’s actors), arbetsmarknadens regler (the labor market’s rules), and arbetsmarknadens utveckling (the labor market’s development). The term frequently appears in discussions about policy, economics, and sociology, where the focus is on how features of the labor market affect employment, wages, and social welfare.

Note that the plural possessive would be arbetsmarknadernas, corresponding to the labor markets’. Arbetsmarknadens serves as a concise, widely understood genitive form in Swedish and is commonly used in both written and spoken language to denote ownership or association with the labor market.
