Integrationsministeriet

Integrationsministeriet was a ministry in the Danish government responsible for integration policies. It was established in 2001 as the Ministry of Integration. Its primary mandate was to develop and implement policies aimed at facilitating the integration of immigrants and refugees into Danish society. This included areas such as employment, education, language training, and social adjustment.

The ministry worked with various stakeholders, including municipalities, NGOs, and immigrant organizations, to achieve its goals. Key initiatives often focused on promoting active participation in the labor market and ensuring that immigrants acquired the necessary Danish language skills and cultural understanding to become self-sufficient and engaged members of society.

Over time, the responsibilities and structure of the ministry evolved. In 2011, its functions were absorbed into the Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration. Later, further adjustments led to integration policy responsibilities being divided among different ministries. The specific portfolio and name of the ministry have changed, reflecting evolving government structures and policy priorities regarding immigration and integration in Denmark.
