Why are Sweden and Denmark going different ways on work permits
In this week's episode we bring in The Local's Denmark editor, Michael Barrett, to talk about why Denmark is liberating its work permit rules at the same time as Sweden is tightening up. And we assess Sweden’s big political experiment: a centre-right government backed by the far-right Sweden Democrats. Three years on, how has it been working?
Host Richard Orange is joined this week by The Local's publisher James Savage and Denmark editor Michael Barrett.
