Arbetslinjen (Swedish: [ˈârːbeːtsˌlɪnːjɛn], "the work line") is a social political principle that emphasizes measures that primarily attempt to give the unemployed jobs instead of assistance in the form of allowance, as much as possible. This line was developed in Sweden between the years 1914 and 1920, and the term itself was used as early as the 1920s.

Arbetslinjen has been the main theme of the Moderate Party since 2005 and the core of former Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldts policies with lower taxes for low and middle income earners, reduced allowance and increased focus on reducing exclusion. This was done by among other things, implementing a program known as (swedish:Phase-3).
