Evaluating the Roles and Challenges of Government in Social Protection for Immigrants in Sweden: A Qualitative Analysis

Abstract

People are constantly migrating in modern times, either permanently or temporarily, to reside in new regions. Sweden has long been a popular destination for immigrants seeking better prospects for its extensive welfare state. However, the government and society at large face a number of challenges in integrating immigrants into Sweden's social protection system. The functions and challenges the Swedish government faces in offering immigrants equitable social protection are examined in this study, with a focus on implementation tactics and societal dynamics. Qualitative research methods were applied using primary data sources through thirteen interviews between migrants and government service providers. By analyzing the data, it can be said that through the execution of constitutional principles, the Swedish government should follow a comprehensive, inclusive approach to Sweden's immigrant communities, revising existing support programs and regular monitoring of social protection measures to ensure long-term economic benefits.
