Together with colleagues in Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and implemented in 2018, the representative of the survey. Young people between the ages of 20 to 36 years were interviewed, a total of 7,500 people. It was both the native swedes, the danes and the norwegians and the descendants of the immigrants from Pakistan, Poland, Somalia, Turkey, and the socialist republic of Vietnam. Immigrants from Iraq and Somalia, were also interviewed in all three countries. In an additional investigation, we also interviewed migrants from bangladesh, Poland, Turkey and Norway.
Each group was asked what could be regarded as a reasonable requirement in order to become a citizen? What did they have, if they are in fact the existing regulations in each country. They felt that they were recognized as members of the national community?
the New members of our community in the nordic countries gradual access to social and civil rights, regardless of the reason for the pause of the country. With citizenship, it falls much more on the site and you have legal grounds to stay. Citizenship is especially attractive to those who come from countries with legal, economic, and political uncertainty. Citizenship helps protect the policy against removal, it can help the rest of the world, are entitled to vote for the parliament, and, not least, a scandinavian passport. In this way, you can travel freely to and seek work in other EU member states.
In a big think interview as to what should be a five-year stay in the country, and, in addition to a degree in the language, and the social sciences, to take the penalty of perjury, that you are a part of the work, and that it should be possible to retain the original citizenship of the union.
In recent years, however, the requirements have been tightened, in order to be able to become a citizen in many european countries. This entails, among other things, better foreign language proficiency, knowledge and understanding of the history and institutions of the requirements of self-sufficiency, and sometimes a prolongation of the waiting period for immigrants to apply for citizenship.
Among the researchers, there has been an implicit assumption that the more stringent requirements, is not in the migrants ‘ interest, but it’s actually been a few empirical studies. It is presented to us, the qualitative study is the first of its kind.
Denmark has one of the strictest rules in Europe in order to become a citizen. Sweden, on the other ytterlighetspunkten. Norway, which is so often used in the field of immigration and integration policies, lies somewhere in the middle between the two. In Denmark, for example, in general, have been present in the country without fail for nine years before they can apply for citizenship, in Norway for seven years and in Sweden for five years.
the Results of the inquiry met at the small extent to which our assumptions in place, we are at a number of points very much are surprised.
We started the study with a view to the adoption of these sharp political differences between the countries are reflected in the immigrants ‘ and their descendants, of the settings. Thus, to the immigrants and children of immigrants in Denmark is going to be more critical of their rules, than the corresponding groups in Sweden. We had also assumed that the native swedes, norwegians and danes wanted tougher requirements for citizenship than immigrant groups and their descendants, especially in Denmark. The results of the survey met in small degree, with these assumptions in place, we are at a number of points very much are surprised.
also, There are no significant differences in the perceptions between the three groups of natives, immigrants, and the immigrants ‘ children and their children’s children.
The commonly held view among the interviewees is that it is legitimate to make demands on the new members of the community who would like to become a citizen. In a big think interview, too, that it should be five years ‘ residence in the country, and, in addition to a degree in the language, and the social sciences, to take the penalty of perjury, that you are a part of the work, and that it should be possible to retain the original citizenship of the union.
There should be a clear requirement in order to become a full member of the scandinavian nation-state. However, the requirements should be reasonable and achievable. In addition, the results show that there is a consensus on what are reasonable requirements for a regulatory framework that is in between the ytterpunkterna, Denmark, and Sweden.
this, Probably, is the education and training system, labour market and health care is more important as institutions for the acceptance of the citizenship. Immigrants ‘ use of these institutions for a long period of time before it will be possible to apply for citizenship.
this Study doesn’t tell us anything about the relative weighting between the different institutions and the importance of the feelings of the membership, the acceptance and sense of belonging. However, we do see the bekymmerfulla the character of both experiences of discrimination, and a lack of trust in the institutions.
the Consistency of being able to set the requirements, does not the less on that citizenship matter. The study also shows that the immigrant community is reflective of the actors on the same wavelength as the native northern europeans when it comes to the safeguarding of citizenship-that is to say, ingångsbiljetten to the community. The new members are so overwhelmed by what is required in order to obtain a more diverse society, to be a good one.
