  2. Background and responsabilities • In 2008 (when establishing the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, MEE) the immigration affairs from the former Ministry of Labour were moved to the Ministry of the Interior • In 2012 the integration affairs were moved to the MEE • Ministry of the Interior is now in charge of the overall immigration policy and development of migration legislation • MEE is responsible for the integration and international recruitment issues and is guiding the work of the regional ELY centres and local TE offices

  3. Labour migration policy in Finland in the 21th century • Until the beginning of the year 2000 no clear immigration guidelines • The ageing of the population, the internationalisation of the Finnish economic life gave background for a more open and active immigration policy • The main aim of the first government immigration policy programme (10/2006) was to promote the labour migration to Finland • The central definition of policy included the promotion of systematic, long term immigration, making the Finnish pull factors known abroad – as well as the possibilities to work, carry on business and study in Finland • Two nationwide ESF programmes were carried out: ALPO & MATTO • The recession postponed active recruitment and several proposals of the programme

  4. Future of Migration 2020 Strategy • The aim of the Future Strategy of Migration 2020, released this year is to pave the way for a more active and forward-looking migration policy in Finland • MEE has significant role especially regarding development of international recruitment and provision of information
