The SV leader believes that today's government has been overly concerned with preventing workers from being discriminated against in Norwegian workplaces
The unemployment rate among immigrants is far higher than among ethnic Norwegians. And the figures show that I farther away from Norway people, the greater the likelihood that they will end up as unemployed in a Norwegian municipality.
Kristin Halvorsen believes that the reason is, among other things, the prejudice of those who hire people. In addition, the Norwegian authorities are very strict and will not accept education taken in many countries. Those who apply for approval of the education they have also find that it takes a long time to get answers from the Norwegian authorities.
- Many also experience being discriminated against because there is prejudice against their ethnic background and because they have a strange name, Halvorsen claims to the P4 news.
Kristin Halvorsen says it is important that this challenge is addressed as soon as possible to prevent new generations of immigrants from being excluded from the labor market due to their ethnic background and not due to lack of qualifications.
Kristin Halvorsen believes that today's situation can lead to a new class distinction in Norway in the future where the skin color becomes crucial for whether you get a job or not. She wants a policy that includes everyone.
