Who would want to leave their country? But don't be surprised if you are offered money and even rent, the European country Sweden is offering something similar to its citizens.
Sweden's Immigration Minister Maria Malmar Steingard has presented this unique proposal. Accordingly, any Swedish citizen born abroad who wants to leave the country can do so voluntarily. They will get money for this. Not only this, the government will also pay the fare.
Sweden already has a voluntary immigration scheme, under which refugees and migrants are given 10,000 Swedish Krona i.e. about 80 thousand rupees when they leave the country. If a child leaves Sweden, he is given 5,000 Swedish Krona i.e. about 40 thousand rupees.
This money is given to all of them together. Not only this, the government also pays the fare to leave the country. But now preparations are being made to include our own citizens in this.
According to the new proposal, now all citizens will be included in it. There was talk of increasing the grant given to those leaving the country by 10 thousand Swedish Krona, but the government has rejected it. The government says that this will send the message that Sweden does not like them. People from many countries of the world come and live in Sweden.
This is the reason why the population of this country has doubled in the last 20 years. The number of immigrants is believed to have exceeded two million, which is about a fifth of Sweden's total population. Keeping this in mind, the government imposed several restrictions in 2015 but to no avail.
For the first time in 50 years people are leaving the country
However, more people left the country last year than settled in Sweden. This has happened for the first time in the last 50 years. The Immigration Minister said, people keep coming and going, but they do not adapt to Swedish society. Such people will get a chance to leave the country. The government will also provide them financial assistance. There are many people in Sweden whose children were born in countries like Iraq, Syria and Somalia but now they want to come and live in Sweden. The government has this offer for such people as well.
