- The Carsten Koch committee’s proposals
-
At total of ten proposed improvements to better integrate refugees and immigrants on family reunion into the labour market, including:
- Municipalities to be given more effective incitements for including businesses
- Measures to be adapted the individual’s needs
- No more than two weeks should pass from an immigrant arrives in a municipality until the first conversation is held
- The integration programme should run a maximum of two years, down from three
- Immigrants who are not in work at the end of the integration programme will be assessed by a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation team
- Major differences
-
There are major differences between Danish municipalities when it comes to getting newly arrived refugees into work or education, according to a comprehensive study commissioned by the online publication Ugebrevet A4.
In one municipality nearly half — 45 percent — of refugees were self-sufficient one year after arriving. In other municipalities only one in ten are self-sufficient after a year. The national average is 23 percent.
Municipalities which do well are proactive from the start and instigate parallel offers — both language training, subsidised gym memberships and other measures depending on the family’s situation.
