Tiivistelmä
Within one generation, Finland and Sweden have undergone significant social and demographic change, due in part to the phenomenon of international migration. Rapidly aging societies and the current economic downturn make the integration of immigrants into the labour market vitally important.
In this thesis, I compare the national immigrant integration policies of Finland and Sweden with a focus on measures that promote labour market integration. The aims are to identify similarities and differences between the policies, gauge policy efficacy, and ascertain best practices and areas that could be improved.
