Austria has new rules for refugees – level 2

19-07-2024 07:00

The Austrian government introduced new rules for asylum seekers.

These rules help refugees learn about Austrian values and how to live in Austria. Refugees must do work for the government or in certain companies, nursing services, places for people without homes, or winter services. Refugees will have to follow the rules to get money from the state. If they don’t, the government will reduce the benefits.

There will also be a new list of rules to teach refugees about Austrian culture, values, and social rules. These rules will help refugees have a better daily life and benefit Austrian society. Stricter immigration rules already reduced the number of asylum seekers coming to Austria.

Difficult words: asylum seeker (a person who leaves their country and is waiting for help in another country), refugee (a person who leaves their country because it is dangerous to stay there), value (something you consider important), benefit (money of help from the government).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What are some examples of work that refugees must do in order to receive benefits from the Austrian government?
