The unit's main tasks include the development of legislative products, issues related to the governance of authorities such as the Swedish Pensions Agency and the Fund Market Committee, preparation of materials and analyses for the political leadership, budget work, and other ongoing tasks. The work is conducted in close dialogue with both the department's management and other units, departments, authorities, and organizations.

The main focus will be on issues related to the pension area in general, but mainly on issues related to income pension and basic security. The tasks will span various areas of social insurance, and it may be relevant to work on other issues within the unit's area of responsibility.
