This report describes and addresses patterns of discrimination in Sweden’s care sector, primarily related to gender and migrant status. It examines national legislation, collective agreements, case law, and equality bodies’ activities concerning equal treatment, pay transparency, parental leave, and occupational safety. It highlights the highly feminised nature of the care workforce, persistent gender segregation, and the prevalence of part-time and fixed-term contracts. The report also analyses the growing participation of foreign-born workers, especially in private care, and how migration policies and labour conditions shape their position in the sector. It considers compliance with EU and international equality standards and the evolving role of the Equality Ombudsman in promoting non-discrimination and equal pay
