Tighter rules on parental leave for the foreign-born and more simple and low-paid jobs will increase the chances for refugees to quickly find work and integrate into society, Integration and Gender Equality Minister Nyamko Sabuni said on Monday.
The proposals are outlined in Sabuni's new book "The New Sweden" (Det nya Sverige), which will be released on Tuesday.
"It is extremely important that we are a bit unconventional if we are to succeed," she told Svenska Dagbladet on Monday.
In her book, she suggests the idea of linking the amount of parental leave allotted with when a foreign-born child arrives in Sweden: the older the child, the shorter the amount of time off.
