The integration in Sweden is progressing

The integration in Sweden is improving; the differences between foreigners and domestic swedes has become smaller in many aspects such as employment and health. Although there are some problematic areas such as the difference in academic results between domestic swedes and foreign-born swedes, the overall picture is that the integration has been progressing the last ten years.

Learning the language and getting a job are the most important factors for a successful integration into the Swedish society, according to Fayez Chahrstan, chairman of the Syrian Association and Alen Musaefendic, expert in trade and politics at Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.

The study shows that Sweden has become better in certain areas, but there is still much to do when it comes to welcoming and supporting international talents and foreign-born swedes so that they can fully integrate into society. Nonetheless, Swedish for Professionals are happy about these positive results!
