Finland has introduced a number of policies that restrict the rights of asylum seekers over the past year, including closing its border crossings with Russia and cutting social benefits. What has been the impact of these measures?
InfoMigrants recently visited Finland and spoke to asylum seekers and experts about the situation.
One of the people we spoke to is Paiman from Afghanistan, who was waiting for the outcome in his asylum application process when we met him. Even though he has two degrees and speaks eight languages, he found it difficult to find work in Finland.
Our report sums up the recent developments, and how they have impacted refugees and migrants.
