Sweden Tightens Repatriation Policy
Sweden has focused on promoting a "return migration" policy by offering financial incentives of up to 350,000 Swedish Krona (approximately $37,000) to non-European residents who voluntarily leave the country, aiming to reduce migration flows. The government has allocated 1.3 billion Krona to fund this program, which is supported by the far-right "Swedish Democrats" party, representing a significant shift in its immigration policies from openness to strictness. Despite the financial incentives, participation in the program has been limited, with only 171 people having enrolled so far. This initiative is part of broader efforts to tighten residency and citizenship laws and reduce the number of asylum seekers, especially after Sweden was one of the countries with the highest refugee intake in 2015.
