Summary/Abstract: The employment integration of asylum seekers in Swedish society has been faced in the last two decades. The paper is focused on the integration of asylum seekers into the Swedish society and Swedish labor market using data from Kronoberg County, where ratio between foreign born and Swedes has been double within the last fifteen years (from nine per cent to above eighteen per cent). The paper lists the rights of those who come to Sweden as asylum seekers based on Swedish and European Union’s acts, directives and ordinances concerning asylum seekers and new arrivals. In the end there is an attempt to advocate the expense of Swedish asylum policy and the challenges faced by migration policy by the creation of the best possibilities for asylum seekers to become active labor market’s participants.
