Goals and results
As per the Government Programme, integration policy is based on the learning of Finnish or Swedish, employment, familiarisation with Finnish society and compliance with its rules. Finland is an open society that provides help and encouragement to newcomers to the country. The Government will ensure that there are opportunities for integration by imposing greater responsibility on immigrants for their integration and by introducing requirements into the system. The focus of the system will be shifted away from the rights of newcomers towards their obligations and own responsibility.
The objectives for integration during the government term are 1. Integration in Finland through work, 2. Immigrants to take more responsibility for their integration with an increased focus on their obligations, 3. Combating the emergence of parallel societies, and 4. Integration is in the interests of the whole family. The Programme includes 32 measures to achieve these objectives
Summary
In accordance with the Act on the promotion of immigrant integration (681/2023), the Government decides on the national development of the promotion of immigrant integration by drawing up a central government integration programme containing the objectives and measures for the promotion of immigrant integration for the government term.

The Government integration promotion Programme is drawn up under the Act on the promotion of immigrant integration (681/2023).
The previous Government integration Programme was drawn up for 2016-2019. The Government Report on the need to reform integration promotion submitted to Parliament in 2021 exceptionally replaced the Government integration Programme 2019-2023.
Additional information
