Hello
This probably has a typo too
Du måste också ha uppfyllt ***ett arbetsvillkor*** under medlemstiden
I think it should be
Du måste också ha uppfyllt ett AV arbetsvillkorEN under medlemstiden
But I still don't quite get it. You can get unemployment benefit in Sweden if you belong to a fund (a-kassan) and you fulfil what exactly? a working condition?
Thanks

a condition of having worked {in a salaried or self-employment}
It's one condition and not two, namely unemployment benefit claimants must have had a job at one time or another.

: Tom Thumb is right; although the word "villkor"may have what looks like a plural ending, it is in fact a singular "ett" noun, so I don't think this is a typo.

the work condition
Check out this reference (http://www.nordsoc.org/en/Sweden/Unemployment1/) where you find 'the work condition' in the same context as 'arbetsvillkoret' at (http://www.aea.se/arbetslos/om_ersattningen/villkor-for-ersa...
This is different than working conditions related to the work environment. Linguistically, I'm not very comfortable with this as a term, but see it referred to in UK, EU and OECD contexts and similar, so will suggest it for your consideration. ;-)

Hmmm, looks like I'll have to work more for this one, tho I thought it pretty much a dunk...
