Above all, the group from Syria is declining. During the last five years, Syria has been the most common birthplace of immigrants.

But this year, however, the largest group is Swedish-born people who are returning to Sweden, and then it’s the group from Afghanistan.
– Immigration from Afghanistan is increasing compared to previous years, and it’s men that account for the whole increase, says Thomas Johansson.
A total of 55,222 immigrants came to Sweden during the first six months of this year. It’s the lowest measured figure since 2013.
