Newly arrived women's establishment

The plan establishes that good opportunities for gainful employment are decisive for women's economic independence and that discrimination in the labor market must be stopped, which carries the requirement for targeted measures so that foreign-born women more quickly enter the workforce. Individualizing benefits follows the same logic as the plan's requirement for an individualized parental insurance: individual benefits give women their own incentives and their own economy. The plan furthermore wants everyone to be able to live on the same secure conditions as others.

• work gives women's liberationdecisive»Goda möjligheter till förvärvsarbete har alltid betytt mycket för de« (party programme ↗)“Good opportunities for gainful employment have always meant much for”
• individualized benefits»Vänsterpartiet vill se en individualiserad föräldraförsäkring, med« (party programme ↗)“The Left Party wants to see an individualized parental insurance, with”

The plan explicitly establishes that more measures are required for foreign-born women to enter the labour market and rejects support that locks them in the home. The counter-proposal's demands for prioritized labour market training, workplace-based initiatives and individualized establishment allowance with equal incentives for women and men is precisely such a line. The plan also requires labour market establishment for foreign-born people and better paths to self-sufficiency.

• more measures for foreign-born womendecisive»Fler insatser krävs för att utlandsfödda kvinnor ska komma i arbete och vi säger nej till alla förslag om vårdnadsbidrag eller barnomsorgspeng, som låser fast utlandsfödda kvinnor i hemmet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More measures are required for foreign-born women to enter the labour market and we say no to all proposals for care allowances or childcare allowances, which lock foreign-born women in the home.”
• establishment on the labour market»Arbetsmarknadsetablering för utrikesfödda.« (party programme ↗)“Labour market establishment for the foreign-born.”
• path to self-sufficiency»Bättre möjligheter för utlandsfödda att lära sig svenska och nå självförsörjning.« (party programme ↗)“Better opportunities for foreign-born to learn Swedish and achieve self-sufficiency.”
• integration with obligation and right»Integration byggd på både plikt och rätt, med tydligt ansvar också för individen« (party programme ↗)“Integration built on both obligation and right, with clear responsibility also for the individual”

The plan explicitly commits to strengthening foreign-born women's establishment through SFI combined with internship and vocational training and equal efforts from the employment service, and to extending the establishment programme. The counter-proposal's demand for prioritized labour market training, individualized establishment supplement, and that family-reunited women are covered by the programme is the same commitment. The plan therefore supports the demand.

• equal establishment for womendecisive»stärk utrikesfödda kvinnors etablering genom SFI kombinerad med praktik och yrkesutbildning och jämställda insatser från arbetsförmedlingen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen foreign-born women's establishment through SFI combined with internship and vocational training and equal efforts from the employment service.”
• expanded establishment programme»förlänga etableringsprogrammet för nyanlända till minst fyra år för att skapa bättre förutsättningar för etablering, så att fler kommer i arbete snabbare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“extend the establishment programme for newly arrived for at least four years to create better conditions for establishment, so that more enter work faster.”
• foreign-born women's vulnerability»Otryggheten på arbetsmarknaden har ökat. Unga, nyanlända och utrikes födda, inte minst kvinnor, har svårt att få trygga anställningar med skäliga löner.« (party programme ↗)“Insecurity in the labour market has increased. Young people, newly arrived and foreign-born, not least women, find it difficult to get secure jobs with reasonable salaries.”
• put competence to use»De förmågor och kompetenser som människor som kommer till vårt land har ska tas tillvara.« (party programme ↗)“The skills and competence that people who come to our country have shall be put to use.”

The election manifesto explicitly says that more foreign-born women must get a chance to work, learn Swedish and come into Swedish society, and requires an intensive year with apprenticeship, language studies and matching. The counter-proposal's demands for prioritised labour market training and workplace-close measures for this group are the same thing in substance. The plan simultaneously wants newly-arrived persons to qualify into the security systems, which pulls the other way on the establishment supplement question.

• foreign-born women in workdecisive»Fler utrikes födda kvinnor måste få en chans att jobba, lära sig svenska och till fullo komma in i det svenska samhället. Det är en vinst både för den enskilda och samhället i stort.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More foreign-born women must get a chance to work, learn Swedish and fully come into Swedish society. This is a gain both for the individual and society as a whole.”
• intensive year for establishment»Skapa ett intensivår för snabbare integration. Den som får uppehållstillstånd ska snabbt integreras och ges möjlighet att försörja sig själv.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Create an intensive year for faster integration. Those who receive residence permits should quickly be integrated and given opportunity to provide for themselves.”
• apprenticeship and language with high expectations»Integrationen ska präglas av intensiv praktik och språkutbildning, med hårt arbete och höga förväntningar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Integration shall be characterised by intensive apprenticeship and language education, with hard work and high expectations.”
• take advantage of newcomers' competence»Vi måste bli bättre på att ta vara på den kompetens och företagsamhet som finns hos de människor som kommer till oss.« (party programme ↗)“We must become better at taking advantage of the competence and enterprise that exists among the people who come to us.”

The election manifesto has an explicit commitment that more foreign-born women shall come into employment, among other things through more individualised maintenance support. The counter-proposal's requirement for individualised integration allowance, prioritised labour-market training and reaching female family-reunification immigrants directly responds to this. The party programme additionally requires that Swedish language teaching and incentives for self-support reach women and men equally.

• individualised maintenance supportdecisive»Fler utrikes födda kvinnor ska komma i arbete genom reformer av föräldraförsäkringen och flerbarnstillägget och ett mer individualiserat försörjningsstöd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More foreign-born women shall come into employment through reforms of parental insurance and multi-child allowances and more individualised maintenance support.”
• better support and clear expectations»Arbetsförmedlingen, Försäkringskassan och socialtjänsten ska bli bättre i sitt stöd men också tydligare i förväntningen på att alla som kan ska försörja sig själva.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The employment agency, the social insurance agency and the social services shall improve their support but also be clearer in the expectation that everyone who can shall support themselves.”
• measures shall reach both genders»Det är av största vikt att svenskundervisningen kombineras med drivkrafter till egen försörjning och når män och kvinnor i samma utsträckning.« (party programme ↗)“It is of the utmost importance that Swedish language teaching is combined with incentives for self-support and reaches both men and women equally.”
• utilise newcomers' skills»Kompetensen hos dem som invandrat till vårt land måste tas tillvara på ett bättre sätt än idag, och det gäller även den interkulturella kompetensen.« (party programme ↗)“The skills of those who have immigrated to our country must be better utilised, including intercultural competence.”

The party programme makes employment and knowledge of the Swedish language the keys to integration and requires individually tailored studies combined with workplace practice. The counter-proposal's demands for prioritized labour-market training and workplace-based interventions for women born abroad amount to the same thing in practice. Tailoring the establishment allowance so that incentives are equal for women and men addresses the plan's requirements to counteract benefit dependency and that equality means the power to shape one's own life.

• individually tailored education with practicedecisive»Studierna bör vara individanpassade och kombineras med praktik på arbetsplatser för att öka möjligheten till integration i samhällsgemenskapen.« (party programme ↗)“Studies should be individually tailored and combined with workplace practice to increase the opportunity for integration into the community.”
• employment as key to integration»Jobb, kunskap i svenska språket och det civila samhället är viktiga nycklar till integration.« (party programme ↗)“Employment, knowledge of the Swedish language and civil society are important keys to integration.”
• incentives for self-support»Skatte- och bidragssystemen måste utformas så att människors egen kraft och engagemang uppmuntras, och att bidragsberoende motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“Tax and benefit systems must be designed so that people's own strength and commitment are encouraged, and benefit dependency is counteracted.”
• equality regardless of gender»Jämställdhet är att människor, oavsett kön, har makt att forma sitt liv utifrån sina egna önskemål.« (party programme ↗)“Equality is that people, regardless of gender, have the power to shape their lives according to their own wishes.”

The plan points out that foreign-born women are economically unequal and that the majority of women from the major asylum countries have very little income from their own work, and states that increased self-sufficiency gives increased self-determination. Further measures for these women to enter employment faster follow from that commitment. The plan also wants support paid out individually to the woman and expand internship places.

• foreign-born women's exclusion(2022 manifesto)
• individualized payments»Betala ut försörjningsstöd till kvinnan i stället för till mannen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Pay out maintenance support to the woman instead of to the man”
• workplace-based efforts»Bygga ut antalet praktikplatser med 30 000« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Expand the number of internship places by 30,000”

The plan wants to phase out labour-market and integration programmes that do not lead to real jobs and to build integration on requirements, not on expanded initiatives. The counter-proposal goes the opposite way: it wants to preserve and individualise the establishment allowance and also widen the establishment programme's target group to include family migrants. The plan instead wants to raise the threshold for tax-financed welfare and tighten requirements for family migration. Therefore the plan speaks against the counter-proposal's requirements.
