Background & Purpose

During the general proposal period, several parties submitted a large number of suggestions to address societal challenges and reform integration policies.

Proposals & Debate

The proposals covered important areas such as the Settlement Act, establishment programs for newcomers, and efforts to combat social exclusion. Opposition parties wanted to see new rules and increased measures in these areas.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament decided to reject all the submitted integration proposals, choosing instead to rely on existing laws and ongoing efforts.

Does this affect you?

  • Nyanlända i Sverige: De omfattas även i fortsättningen av de befintliga etableringsprogrammen och gällande regler utan några nya inslag.
  • Kommuner: De fortsätter att arbeta med mottagande och integration utifrån dagens lagar och riktlinjer utan några nya statliga direktiv från dessa förslag.

In Practice

  • No new legislative changes or reforms regarding integration will be implemented based on these proposals.
  • Current rules in the Settlement Act and establishment programs remain completely unchanged.
  • The government and relevant authorities will continue their ongoing integration work according to existing plans.
