The Government Integration Programme for 2024–2027 includes 32 measures based on the Government Programme. Integration policy is based on the learning of Finnish or Swedish, employment, familiarisation with Finnish society and compliance with its rules.

The objectives of integration during the years 2024–2027 are:

  • integration in Finland through work
  • immigrants to take more responsibility for their integration with an increased focus on obligations
  • combating the emergence of parallel societies
  • integration is in the interests of the whole family.

The position of immigrant mothers will be improved and efforts will be made to raise the employment rate. The integration of children, young people and beneficiaries of temporary protection will be promoted. Along Finnish, opportunities for integration in Swedish, will be ensured at the same time.

The Government Integration Programme has been prepared in cross-sectoral cooperation. The Government adopted the programme in its session of 16 January 2025.
