Law/Patents - Law (general) / Social and work
Swedish term or phrase: Social- och Arbetsmarknad
Does anyone know whether there is an official translation into English - or a generally-used one - for the above authority please? Or even if it's replaced a previous authority/section or just changed its name from what it used to be? Social and labour market just doesn't do it for me.
Thanks in advance.

Social (Welfare) and Labo(u)r Market
Explanation:
Notes:

1. Social often means welfare in many Romance and Germanic languages e.g. welfare vs. social benefit and insurance.

2. Though the official title is indeed Social & Labour Market - see thesecond example sentence and first web ref., the term of social in Sweden over the last half century seems to have taken on another pensioner, immigrant and unemployment meaning.
