Help for Jobs and Independence

The City of Stockholm is preparing for a national activity requirement, effective July 1, 2026, for individuals receiving social assistance. The Labor Market Committee is proposed to be responsible for providing activities like job searching, language training, or workplace placements to help residents move closer to employment and self-sufficiency. Those who receive social assistance for at least three months may be required to participate, and refusal without valid reason could result in reduced or denied support.
