An OECD review in a series on the skills and integration of migrants and their children signals that humanitarian migrants and their families face greater challenges to integrate into the labour market than other groups. Sweden has highly developed and longstanding integration policies that mainly aim at upskilling migrants while temporarily lowering the hiring costs. According to the OECD, tools that work more strongly with the social partners and the civil society are less well developed and need strengthening.
