YLE: Finnish government considers cutting labour market subsidy for those without Finnish or Swedish skills

THE SINGLE LARGEST immigration-related spending cut in the government programme is not found under immigration but under social security, reports YLE.

Although the section on immigration lays out direct spending cuts worth around 250 million euros, including halving the refugee quota and adopting stricter criteria for residence permits, the largest savings related to immigration are expected to arise from introducing a language requirement to the labour market subsidy.
