Migration and nordic welfare state? The dilemma of the welfare state with the increase of migration population in Sweden and Denmark

Abstract

(eng) This paper investigates the relation between the increase of right-wing regimes in the Nordic welfare state and the radicalization in migration policy in Denmark and Sweden between 1990 and 2018. The purpose is to see the changes in their welfare state and to analyse migration policies which have been strengthened at the time that right-wing parties govern in Denmark and in Sweden. What has been found is that in Denmark the migration issue is more politized that in Sweden and that radicalization of opinions towards immigration are frequent, although in both countries they are tighten the requirement for migration population to enter these countries.

El objetivo es ver los cambios que se producen en el estado de bienestar y analizar la evolución de las políticas migratorias que se han radicalizado al tiempo que gobiernan coaliciones de derechas. Los resultados muestran que en Dinamarca la cuestión migratoria ha sido siempre mucho más politizada que en Suecia, aunque en los dos países aumentan las restricciones para entrar en el país.
