Reform to increase overall responsibility of municipalities for integration
The comprehensive reform of the Integration Act (KOTO24) aims to speed up the integration and employment of immigrants and to strengthen their knowledge of Finnish society. The reform is related to the T24 reform where employment and economic development services are transferred from the central government to municipalities.
The KOTO24 reform seeks to facilitate the path of immigrants towards employment and to improve the access of immigrant women and others outside the labour force to services, in particular. With municipalities taking overall responsibility for promoting integration, competence development and employment-promoting services, coordinating and organising various services will become easier from 1 January 2025.
