Ylva Julia Margareta Johansson (born 13 February 1964) is a Swedish politician who has served as Minister for Employment in the Swedish Government since 2014. She previously served as Minister for Schools from 1994 to 1998 and as Minister for Welfare and Elderly Healthcare from 2004 to 2006. She has been a member of the Swedish Riksdag since 2006.
Ylva Johansson studied at Lund University and the 1983-88 and 1991–92 and holds a Master of Science in education. In the 1988 general elections she was elected as a member of the Riksdag for the Left Party - Communists (VPK). She later left the party and joined the Social Democrats.
From 1992 to 1994 she worked as a teacher, until Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson made her Minister for Schools in his government. In 1998, she and the then Minister for Finance Erik Åsbrink announced their wish to "publicly confirm that we are in love" and their intention to separate from their respective partners. Soon afterwards, Ylva Johansson left the government. The following years, she worked in the private sector.
In 2004, Prime Minister Göran Persson appointed Ylva Johansson to the government in a new position, as Minister for Health and Elderly Care, succeeding Lars Engqvist.
