Will asylum seekers actually be forced to work, which the new regional head of the SPÖ in Upper Austria, Michael Lindner, proposes in agreement with the SPÖ mayor of Linz, Klaus Luger, under the label “Integration Service” for refugees with good opportunities to stay? In any case, only 333 asylum seekers in Upper Austria are currently taking advantage of the opportunity to work that is already available. But why is it so?
The possibility of being allowed to work, which has existed for some time for asylum seekers, is only used sparingly. In Upper Austria, according to the AMS, only 333 asylum seekers currently have a work permit; 14 of them are students. However, 10,017 asylum seekers currently receive basic care from the state of Upper Austria, of whom 5,762 are Ukrainians.
