What

Women account for around 50 per cent of migrants in Finland. Despite of their different backgrounds, migrant women seem to face the same obstacle: it is challenging to gain access to the Finnish labour market. This applies to both highly educated migrant women, and to those with lower levels of education. 

The conference of EMN Finland will tackle the abovementioned challenge of employment of migrant women. Solutions will be sought from best practices in Finland and abroad. The comparative EU-level study on integration of migrant women in EMN member countries, published by EMN in September 2022, will be introduced. Additionally, experiences from Norway will be shared, as Norway is a Nordic frontrunner in the employment of migrant women. The floor will be given to Finnish experts of immigration, migrant women, and representatives of governance. Additionally, the situation of Ukrainian beneficiaries of temporary protection will be discussed from the viewpoint of integration and employment.
