Challenges to the welfare state
The follow-up to discussions on the challenges to labour market and welfare policies as a consequence of immigration will focus on four themes:
- To increase employment among immigrants with a focus on language as the key to integration.
- To strengthen Nordic cooperation on the implementation of the Posting of Workers Enforcement Directive.
- To analyse the extent of posted workers in the Nordic region.
- To cooperate on the consequences of a possible growth in immigration from Southern Europe.
Youth unemployment
In the follow-up to discussions on youth unemployment the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Committee of Senior Officials was encouraged to cooperate with Nordic employers’ organisations in order to map ‘best practice’ when it comes to how companies contribute to getting young people without further education or work into the labour market. The mapping aims to showcase good examples both of initiatives from businesses and those coming as a result of public incentives. The aim is to increase awareness of the importance of businesses when it comes to reducing youth unemployment and to create inspiration for other businesses.
