Around 140 Swedish people have returned to the country after fighting for terror organisations in Syria and Iraq.
Lund County, in south Sweden, is now considering giving the jihadi defectors incentives to reintegrate into society.
The mooted benefits are housing grants, help to re-enter the workforce and free driving licenses.
Lund County’s municipal co-ordinator against violent extremism, Anna Sjostrand, said her region would deal with the returned radicals the same way they would deal with criminals attempting to reenter society.
Ms Sjostrand said: “When the subject first came up, we thought ‘Oh God, how should we handle this?’
“But we pretty quickly realised that we should deal with [people defecting from ISIS] in the same way [we deal with people defecting from criminal gangs].”

How Sweden became an exporter of jihad
Sweden is a peaceful democratic state that has long been a safe haven for those fleeing conflict. Yet many young people whose families took refuge there are now turning their back on the country. More than 300 people have gone to fight in Syria and Iraq, making Sweden per capita one of the biggest exporters of jihadists in Europe.
