Some migrants in Denmark will now be required to work 37 hours a week in order to receive welfare benefits.
It will be a requirement for those who have been on benefits for three to four years, and who have not reached a certain level of proficiency in Danish.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the rules were directly aimed at women from “non-Western backgrounds” living on benefits.
Denmark has repeatedly tightened its immigration policies in recent years.
It now has some of the toughest rules in Europe, and has set a target of zero asylum applications.
