In 2009 the Swedish government appointed an Independent Parliamentary Committee on Circular Migration and Development, with the task to examine the link between circular migration and development by mapping circular migration to and from Sweden and identify factors that influence migrants’ opportunities to circulate. The purpose of the Committee was to see how the connections between circular migration and development could be further enhanced. The committee's final report Circular migration and development - proposals and future perspectives (SOU 2011:28) was presented on 31 March 2011. The final report contains concrete proposals in several policy areas aimed at facilitating circular migration and promoting its positive effects on development, including a number of proposals for legislative changes as well as other recommendations targeting diaspora cooperation and remittances. All proposals are being reviewed within the Government Offices and several have already been launched. The legislative proposals are to be presented in a government bill to the Parliament in 2014.
