"Sweden's Migration Shift: A Decade of Change" After a decade of intense debate and reform, Sweden has finally completed a major overhaul of its migration policies. Once a nation that welcomed record numbers of refugees and migrants, Sweden's approach has undergone a significant transformation.

As a result, the influx of new arrivals has slowed dramatically, with some estimates suggesting a 90% reduction in asylum applications. But what does this shift mean for Sweden's identity as a humanitarian leader, and how will it impact the lives of those who have already made the country their home?
