Turvapaikanhakijat ja pakolaiset kannattaa toivottaa tervetulleiksi Pohjoismaihin

The text examines the role of immigration in the population growth of Nordic countries, contrasting the desire for skilled labor with the restrictive policies applied to humanitarian migrants. It highlights specific restrictive measures in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and advocates for a shift toward integration, reasonable family reunification, and long-term planning to ensure the successful inclusion of new residents.

• Immigration is a primary driver of population growth in the Nordic region; in 2014, 76% of Finland's population growth was due to immigration, while in 2015, the share was 77% in Sweden and 96% in Denmark.
• Nordic countries are increasingly implementing restrictive policies for humanitarian migrants, including tightening family reunification rules, reducing benefits, and increasing efforts to deport those with negative asylum decisions.
• Denmark has introduced specific strict measures, including a government program to cut asylum seeker benefits to the level of student grants and a law allowing police to seize valuables from asylum seekers to cover their stay costs.
• Norway has taken steps to make itself a less attractive destination, such as increasing funds for removals, raising the age limit for family formation to 24 to prevent forced marriages, and removing the confidentiality obligation for reception center staff regarding residents.
• Sweden has introduced temporary legislation as of autumn 2015 to grant primarily temporary residence permits, despite a general perception of its policies being more lenient than other Nordic states.
