The Swedes are fleeing Malmö in record numbers
http://speisa.com/modules/articles/index.php/item.2669/the-swedes-are-fleeing-malm%C3%B6-in-record-numbers.html More than 2000 Swedish employees resigned in the city of Malmö last year. The highest figure ever.
The flight is especially great among social workers and teachers - occupations that Malmö urgently needs, reports the newspaper Sydsvenskan.
Alarming reports have revealed that Malmö is struggling in the situation. The population is growing exponentially, with 7,000 people a year.
The vast majority of the growth is coming from the Third World - the Middle East and Africa.
Meanwhile the Swedes give up and leave the city, Sweden's third largest, where ethnic Swedes became a minority already a few years ago.
The primary school in Malmö must hire 3,000 new teachers by 2019, a goal that seems unlikely.
- Sometimes I wake quarter past four in the morning and think: Oh my god, how can we handle this? said school councilor Anders Rubin, already last winter.
This year, a thousand new preschool teachers are required. The normal annual recruitment is 150-200.
The number of homeless in Malmö is also reaching new record levels. The cost of social assistance in the city is reaching one billion annually. Meanwhile the municipality is screaming for social workers.
But Malmö is not attractive. Last fall, 50 percent of the social workers at the social emergency service were on sick leave, according to the union, which concluded:
"The poor working environment in combination with the low wages in Malmö right now makes Malmö bleed out expertise and experienced employees to other municipalities, which offer better conditions and salaries."
- Social workers have far too many cases. They always work under time pressure. There are no quiet periods, says Katrin Skatt Gåvert, President of the Academics Union, SSR.
Malmö, where shootings, bombs and violence occur weekly, is sinking fast.
