How can the Nordic countries better promote labour market integration among migrant mothers and fathers?

The annual Nordic conference on integration brings together experts to present new research and different examples of practical solutions from the Nordic countries. The conference is a chance to share experiences and opportunities to improve employment among migrant fathers and mothers – both in policy and in practice.

Time: December 11-12
Place: Sankt Eriksgatan 115, Stockholm, Sweden

Parenthood is regarded as one of the most rewarding undertakings in life. However, entering the labour market as a parent can sometimes be a challenge. This is particularly the case for many migrant women. How can the Nordic countries make better use of migrant parents’ skills and knowledge? How can we reach both mothers and fathers?

The conference is open to all experts working in the field of integration at a national, regional, or local level. The conference is free of charge.  The conference is held in English and Scandinavian languages and there will be interpretation into English. 

The conference is co-hosted by the Ministry of Employment in Sweden and the Nordic Council of Ministers as a part of the 2024 Swedish presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers. Registration opens later in September.
