A recipe for disaster……
It’s been stated time and again by the Sweden Democrats that, importing too many immigrants/asylum seekers and illegal migrants, too fast, they can’t be integrated, let alone assimilated into their society. The fast pace is ruining the ruining the country and they’ve been branded as racists and bigots for their efforts for saying so.
So now we have an international body that is saying the exact same thing, immigrants need time to learn Swedish, and I would add, an even longer time at learning all the ins and outs of that society. It’s for that reason alone immigration in times past was stop and go, the need for people to acclimate, integrate and eventually assimilate is crucial in maintaining a cohesive society.’
But the Swedes, like many other European states, and many Democrats in the US, have chosen tribalism (multiculturalism) and as a result they will see, or the next generation or two, a breakdown of society. Without statism, which insists on ”group rights” steeped in identity politics, as opposed to individualism, none of this could ever have occurred.
Immigrants need time to learn Swedish: OECD
Sweden needs to do more to help its immigrants and refugees learn Swedish so they can become fully-integrated members of society who hold down jobs, the OECD has argued.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) highlighted immigrants’ difficulties in learning the Swedish language in its report on the Scandinavian country.
The government subsidises two types of employment for non-European Union immigrants, one which requires evening courses in Swedish, entitled Step In Jobs, and one which does not, entitled New Start Job.
The OECD – an international body that promotes policies designed toimprove the economic and social well-being of people around the world – would like to see more immigrants in Step In Jobs.
“For some immigrants, the short-term benefit of going into a New Start Job may come at the cost of failing to develop the language skills that would improve the chances of successful integration in society and the labour market in the long term,” it wrote.
The issue is crucial to Sweden, as “the immigrant population is set to increase further in the coming years, and many immigrants are asylum seekers and refugees who need more help to integrate than those who migrate for employment.”
Some 81,000 people sought asylum in Sweden last year, representing 0.8 percent of its population.
