%A L. Lönnstedt %J Canadian Journal of Forest Research %T Stability of forestry and stability of regions: contradictory goals? The Swedish case %X Discusses forestry and the forest industry (the 'forest sector') as the main rural employers when there is an institutional requirement for sustainable yield. Problems arise when total wood removals are on the same level as annual forest growth. Possibilities to increase employment in the forest sector are limited through the requirement for a sustainable yield. At the same time, a continuing increase in productivity within the forest sector will cause a gradual reduction of the labour force. %N 5 %P 707-711 %V 14 %D 1984 %I National Research Council of Canada %R 10.1139/x84-126 %L iiasa13677
