On 11–12 December 2024, the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Swedish Ministry of Employment hosted a conference in Stockholm on how Nordic countries can better promote labour market integration among migrant mothers and fathers. In this report the Nordic Council of Ministers summarises the main takeaways from the conference talks.
The conference brought together 120 experts to present and discuss new research and different examples of practical solutions from the Nordic countries. The aim was to share experiences and explore opportunities to improve employment among migrant fathers and mothers – both in policy and in practice.
The conference participants – experts in the field of integration at a national, regional, or local level – came from the Nordic countries and beyond. The event was moderated by freelance journalist Nedjma Chaouche.
The conference was a part of the 2024 Swedish presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.
