The impact of COVID-19’s on the integration efforts in the Nordics

How are the national, civil society and local actors addressing the challenges and opportunities of immigrant integration in the Nordic countries?

Inequality has emerged more clearly in the wake of the pandemic. Recent research has already shown that segregation and overcrowded or cramped housing situation has contributed to unequal spread of the infection and that unemployment has increased to varying degrees among different population groups. It is still unclear what significance COVID-19 has in the long term, for example, for migrants’ opportunities to acquire and keep a job, how newly arrived children will be affected by distance learning, or to what extent mental illness will increase because of the pandemic.

We have gathered recent research and knowledge about the effects of the pandemic for refugees and immigrants in the Nordic countries. Under “Examples of best practice” you will find a sample of civil society organizations that have played an important role during the pandemic .
