Migrants in the Swedish labour market benefit from policies that meet MIPEX best practice. Any migrant with a permit of at least one year is eligible to work in most sectors or to become self-employed with a viable business plan, just like an EU national. The state helps unemployed migrants through Swedish language and vocational training. In addition to these labour market integration measures, all migrants who have lived and worked (which includes caring for children under 10) in Sweden for two years have equal access to study grants as Swedes. Migrants who find a job have the right to change their permit, job and industry, after less than one year. Migrants who lose their jobs do not necessarily they lose their right to stay in Sweden.
