The Riksdag is calling on the government to move away from reduced maintenance requirements.
The reduction would facilitate the retention of young people with refusal of asylum who had studied in upper secondary school.
With voting numbers 30-23, the Riksdag decided to urge the government to refrain from giving an announced relief to unaccompanied minors who have studied in upper secondary school.
The call refers to a regulation that would have entered into force on December 3.
The government itself makes decisions on the ordinances, but has nonetheless waited for the ordinance to come into force pending the Riksdag’s decision.
A message from the government is expected on what is happening now in the afternoon.
The ordinance would mean that unaccompanied minors who have obtained temporary residence permits to enroll in upper secondary school can obtain permanent residence permits if they obtain employment for at least one year. Currently the requirement is two years.
The new temporary upper secondary education law came into force in 2018 and gave some 7,600 unaccompanied young people, whose asylum applications were rejected, a new opportunity to obtain a residence permit so that they could complete their upper secondary studies.
Of these, 7,393 people have applied for an extended permit and 5,926 people have obtained extended temporary permits to continue their studies.
A permanent residence permit has been granted to 72 people for self-sufficiency.
706 people have had their extension request rejected.
