U68

Sweden is an advanced technological society with probably the second highest living standard in the world. In a recent report of the OECD on the power to use productive capacity between 1955–72, Sweden took the top place of the member nations surveyed. 99.2 per cent of the capacity was utilised. Furthermore, its working population, 16–64 years, had the lowest unemployment. But Sweden has a problem. What should be the shape of its higher education in the next decade? The answer to this question will partly determine the maintenance of its competitive power and its living standards in the future. U68 gives the answer in 800 pages. The message is that higher education in the future needs to be career orientated.
