According to a report from Ledarnas rapport, nearly every fourth manager in Sweden is under 40 years old. However, Andreas Miller, the union chairman, contends that the proportion of managers under 40 in Sweden is low. Miller stated, "We must let go of the idea that young people do not want to become managers.
They do, but they do not get reasonable conditions. " He emphasized that young people want to become managers but do not get reasonable conditions, and he called for employers to take greater responsibility for introduction and long-term support. The specific conditions lacking for young managers have not been detailed, and it is unclear how Sweden's proportion of young managers compares internationally.

The report's methodology and potential regional or industry variations remain unspecified.
