Newly arrived women's establishment

The plan is based on good opportunities for gainful employment being crucial for women's economic independence and that women generally have a weaker economic position than men. Increased efforts in labour market training for foreign-born women, and individualisation of the establishment allowance rather than abolishing it, respond to both the feminist and anti-racist commitment. The election manifesto also requires that discrimination in the labour market stops.

The plan establishes that more measures are needed for foreign-born women to enter work and rejects solutions that lock them into the home. Increased labour market training and workplace-based measures for foreign-born women is exactly what the plan demands, as is that compensation should support — not hinder — women's self-support. The plan also emphasizes that participation in labour market measures and studies is central.

• 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 needed for foreign-born women to enter work and we say no to all proposals for childcare allowances or childcare benefits, which lock foreign-born women into the home.”
• labour market measures and language»Att lära sig god svenska, delta i arbetsmarknadsinsatser och studier är centralt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Learning good Swedish, participating in labour market measures and studies is central.”
• equal right to self-support»Män och kvinnor måste få lika rätt till egen försörjning och ett utvecklande yrkesliv.« (party programme ↗)“Men and women must have equal right to self-support and a developing working life.”
• the work line applies to all»Alla som kan jobba ska jobba och bidra för att bli en del av samhället.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Everyone who can work should work and contribute to be part of society.”

The election manifesto explicitly wants to strengthen foreign-born women's establishment through SFI combined with internship and vocational training and equal efforts from the Employment Service, and extend the establishment programme. The party programme demands high-quality Swedish language instruction for everyone who needs it and rapid validation of foreign education. The counter-proposal's demands for increased employment-related efforts and that the establishment supplement is not abolished but individualized align with these commitments.

• foreign-born women's establishmentdecisive»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.”
• extended 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 to at least four years to create better conditions for establishment, so that more enter work faster.”
• Swedish language instruction for all»Alla som behöver ska erbjudas en högkvalitativ« (party programme ↗)“Everyone who needs it must be offered high-quality”

The election manifesto explicitly states that more foreign-born women must be given a chance to work and learn Swedish, and that integration should be based on intensive practice, language studies and effective matching. The counter-proposal's requirements for increased labour market training and workplace-based initiatives for foreign-born women is the same commitment. That the counter-proposal also wants to retain the establishment supplement grates against the plan's line that newly arrived should qualify into the security systems, but the main requirement is supported.

Det är en vinst både för den enskilda och samhället i stort.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More foreign-born women must be given a chance to work, learn Swedish and fully enter Swedish society. It is a gain both for the individual and society at large.”

The election manifesto makes foreign-born women's establishment its own point and demands reforms of parental insurance, large-family allowance and a more individualized support for self-provision so that more come into work – thus both increased efforts and individualization rather than removed compensation. The counter-proposal's demand for more places in labour market education and workplace-based efforts as well as individualization of establishment allowance is in line with this. The plan is at the same time clear with the requirement for own self-provision, which qualifies but does not abolish the support.

• individualized compensationdecisive»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 work through reforms of parental insurance and large-family allowance and a more individualized support for self-provision.”
• prioritized target group»Allra längst från arbetsmarknaden står utrikes födda kvinnor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Foreign-born women are furthest from the labour market.”
• better support and clear demands»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 social services shall become better at their support but also clearer in the expectation that everyone who can shall provide for themselves.”
• same expectations for women»VI ska ha samma förväntningar på att kvinnor och män ska kunna försörja sig själv – även bland utrikes födda.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“WE shall have the same expectations that women and men shall be able to provide for themselves - even among the foreign-born.”

The party programme requires that immigrant studies be individually tailored and combined with practice at workplaces and that employment and Swedish language are keys to integration, and that willingness for self-support be utilised. More labour market education and workplace-based initiatives for foreign-born women follow directly from this, as does individualisation of the supplement. The plan's demand to counter benefit dependence qualifies the support.

• workplace-based initiativesdecisive»kombineras med praktik på arbetsplatser för att öka« (party programme ↗)“combined with practice at workplaces to increase”
• individually tailored initiatives»Studierna bör vara individanpassade och« (party programme ↗)“Studies should be individually tailored and”
• employment and language as key»Jobb, kunskap i svenska språket och det civila samhället är viktiga nycklar till integration.« (party programme ↗)“Employment, knowledge of Swedish language and civil society are important keys to integration.”
• counter benefit dependence»uppmuntras, och att bidragsberoende motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“encouraged, and that benefit dependence is countered.”

The plan shares the goal that more foreign-born women shall work, but its instruments are reduced benefits: a benefit ceiling and abolished benefit supplements that prevent women in large families from staying at home. The counter-proposal wants instead to retain the establishment allowance in individualized form. That is the benefits track the plan explicitly opposes, so the plan rejects the requirement in substance.

• benefit ceilingdecisive»Införa ett bidragstak så att de samlade bidragen aldrig kan bli högre än lönen från ett arbete« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce a benefit ceiling so that combined benefits can never be higher than wages from work”
• abolished benefit supplements»Avskaffa flerbarnstillägget från och med barn fyra så att inte kvinnor i stora familjer fastnar i hemmet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish the multichild supplement from the fourth child so that women in large families do not get stuck at home”
• foreign-born women's self-sufficiency(2022 manifesto)
• work-place-based measures»Bygga ut antalet praktikplatser med 30 000« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Expand the number of internship places by 30,000”

The plan wants to abolish ineffective labour market and integration programmes and specifically identifies establishment constructions that should be replaced by demand for real jobs. It also requires that newly arrived get their share of welfare only in step with language learning and work. The counter-proposal's requirement for expanded efforts and a preserved, individualized establishment allowance therefore goes against the plan, even though the plan shares the goal that benefits should not lock women into the home.

• real jobs over programmesdecisive»Istället för ineffektiva arbetsmarknadspolitiska konstruktioner som nystartsjobb, etableringsanställningar och introduktionsjobb, bör politiken verka för att skapa en större efterfrågan på riktiga jobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Instead of ineffective labour market policy constructions such as new start jobs, establishment employment and introduction jobs, policy should aim to create greater demand for real jobs.”
• abolish ineffective programmes»Avskaffa ineffektiva arbetsmarknads- och integrationsprogram som är skapade för att dölja arbetslöshet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Abolish ineffective labour market and integration programmes created to hide unemployment”

• benefits should not lock women in»Både kulturella normer och bidragssystem som tenderar att låsa kvinnor till hemmet ska motverkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Both cultural norms and benefit systems that tend to lock women into the home should be countered.”
