New report: Labour market integration of adults with alcohol and substance use problems
How are adults who have a problematic use of alcohol and/or other substances integrated into the labour market? This is the subject in our new report Labour market integration of adults with alcohol and substance use problems in the Nordic countries.

The report explores the labour market integration of individuals with substance use problems, presenting insights from Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Focus is on improving the lives of adults facing substance use challenges in the Nordic region.

The aim of this report is to share Nordic experiences and foster a deeper understanding of the integration of these individuals. The report tries to identify successful methods and interventions for labour market integration and to single out lessons for organising and delivering these services.
