Description
The Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) has conducted a comprehensive study on integration in the labour market, skills supply and the recognition of foreign qualifications. The study includes analyses of labour market entry and skills matching, the importance of a recognition statement for employers, recognition of foreign qualifications and further studies and analyses of societal integration. The study shows that recognition statements contribute to integration in the labour market, to an individual sense of belonging and to the future supply of skills. There is no explicit link between the statement and entry to the labour market, but the overall conclusion is clear: the statement is an important and useful instrument and an important piece of the puzzle in the wider context of integration and skills supply.
