Delmi has launched a new research project examining how the government's increased focus on voluntary re-migration is translated into practice. The project explores how public authorities, municipalities and other relevant actors organise, coordinate and carry out their work in relation to the new policy. Particular attention is given to how actors interpret their roles and responsibilities, how cooperation develops across organisational boundaries, and how the policy is implemented alongside existing integration-related activities. The project also examines the practical outcomes of these efforts and any challenges or unintended consequences that may emerge during implementation.
The purpose of the project is to provide practical support for policymakers and public officials navigating this new policy landscape.
The report is expected to be published in spring 2027.
Authors: Suzanne Planchard, Research Coordinator at Delmi, and Henrik Malm Lindberg, Associate Professor of Economic History and Deputy Head of Secretariat at Delmi.
The project is funded by the Swedish Migration Agency.
