The municipalities will next year receive approximately 600 new refugees, and 27 of the 98 municipalities will not have to accept any at all.
This applies, for example, to Copenhagen, Aarhus and Slagelse.
– It looks like there will be a record low asylum number this year. The lowest in several decades. It is well. This means that the municipalities must each receive even fewer refugees, says Minister of Foreign Affairs and Integration Mattias Tesfaye (S) in a press release.
The municipalities are responsible for finding a place to live and getting the individual refugee started in the labor market.
33 percent of the refugees are in work, but it covers large differences between men and women. 53 percent of men are in jobs, while only 16 percent of women.
66 percent have passed a Danish test.
It is the Danish Immigration Service that has now determined how the refugees are to be distributed to the individual municipalities.
Every year, the Agency announces an estimate of how many refugees will be placed in housing in the municipalities in the coming year.
27 municipalities do not seem to have to receive refugees at all next year, which pleases the Minister.
– Among other things, Aarhus, Copenhagen and Slagelse, which can now have a respite to get even more of the municipality’s refugees into work and out to learn Danish.
“It is important for the government to keep the influx down as far as possible, and therefore we will continue to do what we can to keep the asylum rate low,” said Tesfaye.
The remaining parties in the red bloc are pushing to get the government to accept more refugees, such as those from the burnt-down camp Moria in Greece. But it rejects the government.
The municipalities received almost 10,600 new refugees in 2015, when the whole of Europe experienced an extraordinary influx of newcomers who went up through, among other places, Denmark on the motorways.
In 2016, the municipalities received almost 7,200, almost 2,100 in 2017, approximately 840 in 2018 and approximately 730 in 2019.
In 2020, the national figure is expected to remain around 600, while the national figure for 2021 is also estimated to be around 600.
