Migration is a positive force in our increasingly globalised world. In order to promote cross-border mobility and make better use of the knowledge and experience of labor immigrants, it is time to change perspectives. We must recognize the ambition and potential of individuals who wish to travel abroad to live and work. This is why the Swedish government, in one of the most significant reforms of immigration policy in several decades, has decided to open a new path for those wishing to come to work.
This week I am visiting India together with a delegation of representatives from Swedish enterprises and labor organizations to inform myself about the views of the Indian government and enterprises and to present the Swedish reform.
