After the Norwegian government spent €6.6 billion over ten years on a scheme to integrate 37,000 migrants into the country’s workforce, just over half of those who went through the program currently have jobs. The main question which we, the EUTimes have is why would a Nordic BLONDE country work to integrate all those brown people among them?
Between 2005 and 2016, the Norwegian government spent NOK 65.8 billion (€6.6 billion) on a so-called introduction scheme designed to “strengthen the ability of groups of newly arrived immigrants to quickly get into work or education”. In 2017, just 55 percent of the migrants who went through the programs were currently employed, Aftenposten reports.
According to the report, just 33 percent of the migrants worked 35 or more hours, versus 70 percent of the general population. Additionally, one in four migrants was receiving social assistance or was on long-term sick leave due to a reduced ability to work.
The report’s statistics showed that migrants from Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Myanmar were employed substantially more often than those who came from Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Palestine.
“Many refugees gain a foothold in the labor market, but too few get a solid foothold. For Norwegians who are at work, the income level is significantly higher compared to those who are not at work and who receive social security. For refugees, the income disparities are not that great between these groups. This can help explain why integration into the labor market is slowing down,” Kristian Tronstad, a researcher at Oslo Metropolitan University said.
The situation in neighboring Sweden is even worse. Earlier this year in October, Voice of Europe reported on a study carried out by Statistics Sweden which revealed that just over 10 percent of working-age asylum seekers who’ve arrived since 2015 have jobs.
