The Swedish Migration Agency estimates that 85-90 percent of Somalis who come to Finland are illiterate, writes Aamulehti. The children are included in the figure.

The war in Somalia has destroyed the opportunities for those born in the 1970s or later to go to school.
Therefore, basic education is becoming an increasingly important part of the integration of immigrants.

The Swedish Migration Agency and the NTM centers state that it is difficult to get the resources for integration sufficient.
Refugees who are illiterate receive a 200-day basic education, but this in combination with a 40-week course in Finnish or Swedish is often insufficient to provide a job.

Facts: Somalis
Somalis are a vulnerable group:

At the end of 2019, 111,014 Somalis lived in Sweden. (SC
Every Somali who receives a residence permit costs taxpayers SEK 10 million. (ABC)
Among Somalis who have lived up to four years in Sweden, the median income from work is SEK 100 / month and the rest is a grant. (RUT)
Nine out of ten Somali immigrants are illiterate. (Yle)
One in five young Somali men in Gothenburg is involved in at least one violent crime over a two-year period. (GP)
82 percent of Somalis in Sweden are unemployed. (SR)
The average IQ in Somalia is about 68. This means that the probability that a random Swede has a higher IQ than a random Somali is 94 percent. (Lynn 2002)
Somalis are considerably more satisfied with life in Sweden than ethnic Swedes are. Most satisfied with Sweden are Somali illiterates. (SvD)
Hassan himself is of the opinion that Sweden is a really top country.

- Sweden is good, he says to SVT and emphasizes:

- It is very good in Sweden.

The statement is in line with previous figures which show that Somalis are considerably more satisfied with life in Sweden than ethnic Swedes are. Most satisfied with Sweden are Somali illiterates, according to SvD, who describe the group as "the most proud Swedes" that exist.

According to YLE , however, as many as nine out of ten Somali immigrants are illiterate.

- Those who feel most at home and proud are the Somalis, said Bi Puranen, Secretary General of the World Values ​​Survey, when the survey was presented.

As for Hassan in Filipstad, SVT has done a so-called sob report where they try to make it look like he has hardly done anything other than looking for a job for the past 11 years, but still does not get a job.

Hassan is not alone in being Somali and not working. Last year, a report from the Moderates showed that the median Somali's job income was SEK 100 a month. The rest consisted of contributions.

According to SVT, Hassan has an internship at the labor market and integration unit (sic!) At the municipality.

- We are changing population. You can think what you want about it, it depends on how you are laid. But it is only a statement of facts that this is actually what we are doing and then we must relate to it, said the municipality's integration manager Jim Frölander to SVT 2019.

How Hassan has time to practice at the unit is unclear, however, because the man according to SVT has nine children, which he takes care of himself because he "became a widower" two years ago.

How the wife died, however, is not clear from the SVT feature.

In Filipstad, 32 percent of immigrants have no job. In 2017, 58 percent of them lacked jobs, but the figure is still significantly worse than the figure for the country as a whole, where 17 percent of immigrants are unemployed.

- We absolutely do not have jobs for all those who came, but we try to help them and make them as employable as possible, says municipal councilor Åsa Hååkman Eriksson (S) to SVT.
