Integration and reception of refugees

Integration is an individual process for an immigrant that takes place in interaction with society and strengthens participation, equality and non-discrimination. Integration requires both an active immigrant and a receptive society, as well as cooperation between different actors.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment is responsible for the general development, planning, guidance and anticipation of policies and legislation promoting integration, as well as integration services.
