%X Denne rapporten ser på ulike innvandrergruppers økonomiske integrering de 12 første botidsårene i Norge, for ankomstkohortene 1993, 2000 og 2005. Ved hjelp av ulike deskriptive indikatorer for økonomisk integrering måles innvandrergruppene opp mot nivåer i øvrig befolkning. Innvandrerkohortene er avgrenset på personer i alderen 18-50 år ved ankomst til Norge, og kun de som sammenhengende har vært registrert bosatt ved utgangen av året i 12-års-perioden, inkluderes i analysen. Natasza P. Sandbu og Jon Epland takkes for tekstlige innspill og faglige tilbakemeldinger. Rapporten er finansiert av Kunnskapsdepartementet.

%X The first aim of the present study was to examine internalizing problems and their psychosocial correlates among young Muslim immigrants in Norway as compared to other immigrant youth and host peers. The second aim was to examine adaptation differences among Muslim youth based on national origin and gender. Questionnaire data were collected during school classes from 6306 10th grade students in junior high schools in Oslo. Of the 1666 immigrants in the sample, 1060 (63.3%) originated in countries with majority Muslim population. Internalizing problems were measured in terms of depression and anxiety symptoms. Psychosocial adaptation included measures of general and acculturation-specific risks and resources. In general, Muslims youth appeared well-adapted. However, there were between group differences based on national origin and gender. Also, self-efficacy was identified as an important moderator between acculturation-specific risks and resources and mental health among boys.

%X The present work investigates the endorsement, antecedents, relationships, and consequences of young immigrants' social identities in Norway. Despite increasing numbers of refugees and immigrants entering Norway in recent years, little is known about the relationship between immigrants' different social identities and their feeling of integration into Norwegian society. The main goal of the present research is to fill this gap by investigating whether relationships found in other European countries replicate in the Norwegian context. In line with theoretical considerations and earlier international findings, results from two studies with different immigrant groups (Study 1: high school students; N = 97; Study 2: university students; N = 93) show that the more young immigrants in Norway endorse their national (i.e., Norwegian) identity, the less they endorse their ethnic identity (e.g., Kurdish). We further show that perceived conflict between the two cultures cannot explain the negative relationship between national and ethnic identity. In addition, immigrants' national identity endorsement is positively related to their dual identity endorsement (e.g., Kurdish‐Norwegian). Positive contact with members of the receiving society predicts young immigrants' feeling of being integrated in Norwegian society and this relationship is mediated by national identity. Results are discussed in terms of the crucial role social identities play in immigrants' feeling of integration into European societies.

%X Labour market participation is commonly conceptualized as an indicator of immigrant integration, although integration is not something that should be conflated with inclusion. The mere fact of employment is no silver bullet. The sociology of work needs to consider experiences of exclusion both before and after entry to the labour market. This article is based on a 25-case selection of 50 in-depth interviews that we conducted with young adults of ethnic minority background in Norway. We analyse their experiences of, and reactions to, exclusion in the labour market. While for several interviewees the possibility of being met with ethnic prejudice from employers looms large, more experiences of this sort were reported among interviewees engaged in customer contact, where the inside of an organization intersects with the outside world.

%X The article analyzes how 31 international students (IS) entered the Finnish labor market as they graduated from Finnish universities. Despite a growing interest in international student migration (ISM), there are few studies that analyze the firsthand experiences of IS as they seek to enter the receiving-country labor markets as they graduate. This article contributes to the topic by showing how the interviewees of this study managed to enter the receiving-country labor markets, which are embedded in national, cultural, and institutional contexts that require context-bound knowledge of particular recruitment patterns. The contribution of the article lies in (1) providing new insights on an understudied topic: IS' experiences of finding jobs in the country of graduation, and, in (2) constructing a theoretical framework for analyzing IS' job search in the countries of graduation. More broadly, the article contributes to the studies on highly educated migrants' labor market integration by shedding light on the experiences in a Nordic setting. © 2020 Roskilde University.

%X This paper draws on the KINSA project (The Communicative Situation of Immigrants at Swedish Workplaces), which aimed to identify communicative factors that have a positive impact on the integration of second language speakers in the workplace and in their immediate work team. The focus here is on humour and swearing as strategies for doing collegiality and for building and maintaining good relations between co-workers. The article presents data from five second language speakers, permanently employed industrial or office workers in a major Swedish company. Theoretically and methodologically, the paper has its basis in discourse analysis, interactional sociolinguistics and the ethnography of communication. By means of fieldwork, a large body of empirical data was collected, comprising detailed field notes, audio and video recordings of naturally occurring talk, and texts processed and produced by participants. The analysis of the data shows that metalinguistic and metacultural awareness and performance of relational communicative acts among the participants appear to have helped to facilitate and consolidate integration in the workplace and the immediate work team. To foster good relations at work, the five participants make strategic use of jokes, compliments, narratives, swearing and greetings. In this article the use of jokes and swearing is highlighted. It closes by making a case for future research in the area of integration in the workplace through relational communication, especially among second language speakers.

%X The social integration of first generation immigrants in Norway is the main topic of this paper. If certain conditions are fulfilled, a workplace may be a key arena for identity reproduction and social integration. For some, they are a means of finding new acquaintances and having their identity affirmed. For others, they will seem closed off, and even appear as sources of social exclusion and discrediting. If we look beyond the general reasons for the absence of social relations between immigrants and hosts we may find some further explanations in the nature of the work immigrants tend to have. In this article, I focus at three mechanisms that influence their integration and identity reproduction at the workplace: a) The meanings immigrants attached to contact structures at the workplace, b) the degree of occupational displacement that immigrants experience and c) the occupational status and the status position within the workplace. Given the focus on immigrants' voices, the data is mainly gathered through qualitative interviews with them.

%X Work migration is increasing in Norway, particularly in the production sector of the aquaculture industry. This sector is growing rapidly and manual labor needed in the industry is consistently being sought through Eastern European networks and temp-agencies. This article looks at the island community of Frøya, in Sør Trøndelag in Norway, where around 20% of the population is of foreign descent, and where stakeholders in the production line experience a lack of upward mobility due to their lack of Norwegian language skills, and the insecure nature of their employment status. The capacity of the island community to adapt to a 3-fold increase in aquaculture production will depend on this segment of society as well being able to adjust, and on their inclusiveness in society. Based on a stakeholder driven workshop looking at the perceptions of a set of foreign workers in the aquaculture industry,segmented labor market theory was applied to the experience of the workers. The priority issues of the migrant population of Frøya involved in the aquaculture industry was also explained, and their wish for upward mobility and job security, as well as inclusiveness in society elaborated upon. This upward mobility, however, would lead to the bottom segment of the labor market on Frøya - the aquaculture production line - to have to be filled with another lower segment group of workers. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

%X This article discusses the potential of Islamic activism to assist in the integration of immigrant Muslims in Europe. Islamic activism is conceived as a social space of transnational activity, eg, connecting Moroccan immigrants in Denmark with their homeland. The discussion is based on material from Fes, Morocco, & Copenhagen, Denmark. The development of "transnationalism from below" takes place in the microdynamics of migrants' social practices, & reaches beyond national borders. Instruction in the Quran, which Moroccan work migrants received in their childhood, is reactivated in Copenhagen when their daughters take up Quran study. These daughters organize religious instruction according to centuries-old principles from Morocco & the Middle East. In Fes, Islamist activist women are preoccupied with promoting social reform among their fellow Muslims. In Copenhagen, they are engaged in activities that aim to integrate immigrant women into Danish society. In both countries, however, Islamist women strive to teach other Muslim women how to practice & understand their religion. In Copenhagen, teaching iqh (Muslim jurisprudence) assists the new Muslim population to articulate a Muslim standpoint in their new homeland. The article challenges the assumption that maintenance of connections to the country of emigration necessarily delays integration in the new homeland. It claims that Islamic activism constitutes a step towards the formation of a local Muslim identity. 31 References. Adapted from the source document.

%X In Norway, as elsewhere in Europe, the aim of policy-making is to ensure the integration of immigrants into mainstream society. This paper focuses on one of the most concrete and practical measures Norwegian authorities have ever taken in this field, namely the recent establishment of a compulsory two-year introduction programme for newly arrived refugees. This is an activation-style programme involving both a financial and an educational component, where out-payments depend on participation in a full-time training programme aimed at enabling participants to become self-sufficient members of Norwegian society. In the first part of the paper the establishment of this policy is located within a broader context of integration crisis, before it moves on to look more specifically at the background for the programme and the problems it is set up to address. The latter part of the paper addresses the implementation of the introduction programmes in one medium-sized Norwegian city. The local discourse here is one of before and after, where the failings of previous policies have been overcome and new and productive practices have been established. Connections can be made between public and political discourses on integration crisis and the local discourses of implementation through the notion of kindness and the idea that kindness has hampered the integration efforts of the state. Herein lies a story not only about views on immigrants and diversity, but also about how immigration has challenged the Norwegian welfare state model. © 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

%X This study aimed to analyze affiliations with violent peers as an underlying mechanism that associates ethnic harassment with violent behaviors among immigrant youth (N = 365; Mage = 13.93, SD = 0.80), and also identify the risk factors in this relation. The results revealed that identification with an immigrant peer crowd at school made ethnically harassed immigrant adolescents more inclined to associate with violent peers and, in turn, engage in violent behaviors over time. Immigrant youth's orientation toward the mainstream culture was not found to either elevate or buffer the effect of ethnic harassment on youth's affiliation with violent peers. Yet, ethnically harassed immigrant adolescents were shown to be more prone to violent behaviors over time when they were less orientated toward Swedish culture. The findings suggest that preventing ethnicity-based harassment and diversifying adolescents' peer groups at schools may be a way to prevent immigrant adolescents' involvement in violent behaviors.

%X With the growing number of immigrant youth moving into new communities and host nations across the globe (Suarez-Orozco, 2007), it is critical that we deepen our understanding of the ways in which schools enable either the civic engagement or the social marginalization of these young people. In this article Reva Jaffe-Walter presents the results of an ethnographic case study of Muslim students and their teachers in a Danish secondary school. Her findings reveal how liberal educational discourses and desires to offer Muslim immigrant students a better life can slide into processes of everyday exclusion in schools. Jaffe-Walter theorizes that immigrants in liberal democracies face technologies of concern--that is, policies and practices that champion the goals of fostering the engagement and social incorporation of immigrant students while simultaneously producing notions of these youth as Other, justifying practices of coercive assimilation (Foucault, 1977; Ong, 1996). She argues that beyond just producing negative representations, technologies of concern position youth within hierarchical schemes of racial and cultural difference that complicate their access to educational resources in schools (Abu El-Haj, 2010; Ong, 1996). This article has implications for the education and social integration of Muslim immigrants within liberal societies, as it reveals the troubling persistence of exclusion buried within practices of concern.

%X Names carry strong ethnic and religious connotations and reveal an individual’s affiliation to a specific group. When a religious or ethnic group is stigmatised, the relationship between names and social stigma becomes explicit. For Muslims, names and veils are the two most conspicuous signifiers of their stigmatised identity. Some believe that covering their Muslim identity with Swedish-sounding or ‘neutral’ European names will facilitate their individual integration into society. Based on empirical findings, examining application forms for name-changing and interviews with name-changers, this article offers an exploratory analysis of the reasons, expectations and effects of surname-changing among immigrants with Muslim names. It examines the extent to which the changes reflect the impact of social disadvantage and anti-Muslim sentiment in Sweden.

%X <bold>Background: </bold>Poles constitute the largest group of migrants in Norway. Research confirms a steady inflow and a minimal outflow of Polish migrants. One of the key aspects of migrants' structural integration is access to health care services. This study explored barriers to and facilitators of Polish migrants' access to Norwegian health care services.<bold>Methods: </bold>A qualitative interview-based study was carried out between November 2013 and July 2014. The study is part of a larger, ongoing mixed-method study of Polish migrants' access to health care services in Norway. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 Polish migrants in Oslo. The interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed. Thematic analysis was performed to identify barriers and facilitators related to the use of Norwegian health care services.<bold>Results: </bold>Migrants experienced several barriers to and facilitators of access to health care services in Norway. The barriers most often mentioned were problems resulting from insufficient command of the language, related communication problems, and lack of knowledge about navigating the Norwegian health care system. Other barriers related to the organization of the health care system, perceptions of doctors' skills and practices, and attitudes among health personnel. Factors such as having a Polish social network, meeting friendly health personnel, and perceptions of equal treatment of all patients, facilitated access to and use of health care services.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>The study shows that there are both system- and patient-related barriers to and facilitators of migrants' access to health services in Norway. These findings suggest that successful inclusion of migrants into the Norwegian health system requires regular evaluation of access and utilization of health care services.

%X The focus of this paper is one of the paradoxes of international migration: the unexpectedly low level of migration between neighbouring countries with large macro-economic differentials; in this case migration from the former Soviet republics to Sweden. In line with Faist (2000), one assumption in the study is that the dynamics of international migration are strongly influenced by the emergence of a transnational social space. Based on a database (ASTRID) containing individual information about all residents in Sweden for the period 1986–2003, the study includes an analysis of migration in relation to the transnational social space – its bridging and adaptive functions – including labour market integration, family situation, intermarriage, population circulation and the spatial clustering of immigrants. The study reveals an over-representation of female immigrants and a high frequency of intermarriage among women migrants. Moreover, a changing migrant composition over the past decades was found, including a growing number of students, whereas the empirical analyses indicate a rather weak labour market position among immigrants from former Soviet republics. However, the position of recently arrived migrants has been enhanced over time, and migrants who stay for longer periods attain a stronger position on the labour market. The analyses also show an increasing number of highly educated persons among immigrants from the former Soviet republics. Furthermore, migrants from the former Soviet republics who move to Sweden tend to remain rather than return. In addition, the empirical analysis shows only minor tendencies of spatial clustering among the migrants. In sum, the study indicates that the lack of a more developed transnational social space may explain the rather low level of migration but also that the changing mobility patterns could represent an initial phase of a denser transnational social space that may trigger higher migration rates between the former Soviet republics and Sweden in the near future.

%X In this paper, we examine social exclusion among immigrants in Sweden. The groups under scrutiny are native Swedes, first generation Swedes, naturalized Swedes, Nordic citizens and non-Nordic citizens. Specifically, because one goal of the welfare state is to break the connections between different welfare problems, we investigate the associations between welfare problems among different immigrant groups as well as among native Swedes. We find that the accumulation of welfare problems is higher among immigrant groups, but that the correlations between welfare problems are strongest among Swedes. Finally, we analyse social exclusion among immigrants using a logistic regression analysis. Because a regression analysis with explanatory variables such as demographic variables, human capital indicators and socioeconomic class cannot explain the difference between immigrants and native Swedes, it appears that discrimination is a probable explanation.

%X Concentrating on the largest refugee crisis in recent history, the need for countries to develop and implement resettlement programs has become imperative. This study's focus is to understand the experience of professionals' engagement with the program in Iceland. This is a qualitative study of the professional experiences of 20 providers. Consented audio-recorded interviews were transcribed, and thematically analyzed. The participants described available resources, expected familial needs, and a lack of cultural experts as challenges, but felt that their strengths were their development of service coordination via inter-departmental monthly meetings, and their approach to resettlement to include the needs of host communities as well.

%X In this essay, I introduce a conceptual pair consisting of Bourdieu's doxa concept and the synchronizing concept entrainment to show how refugee resettlement entails a process of realignment. This realignment, I argue, comes as a result of how people in different locations are subject to different rhythms of everyday life, wherein the construction of normality—as a doxic reality—is produced through a quasi-perfect fit between expectations and reality. The essay explores the arrival stories of refugees in a rural municipality in Norway and presents how they through various strategies realigned their expectations with the local realities they found themselves in: thus pursuing a new doxic reality. Through the essay, I aim to give attention to the micro-processes of refugees' integration in new communities to illustrate how they engaged with their local communities through entrainment as a process of realignment.

%X Scand J Caring Sci; 2010; 24; 445–453 “We are always asked; ‘where are you from?’”: Chilean women’s reflections in midlife about their health and influence of migration to Sweden Aim: This study explored how Chilean immigrant women living in Sweden perceived and related their life situations and health status during midlife to their migration experiences. Method: Three focus group discussions (FGDs) were performed with 21 middle-aged Chilean women (40–60 years) who had lived in Stockholm for at least 15–20 years. In-depth interviews were held with three key informants. A combination of manifest and latent content analysis was performed to structure and categorize the tape-recorded and transcribed data. Findings: Three main themes emerged from the data: (i) Chilean women’s reflections about migration and resettlement; (ii) Health during midlife; perceptions of Chilean women living in Sweden; and (iii) Strategies to manage their lives and to gain social acceptance and position. The Chilean women reflected about the discrimination they had met in the Swedish society and within the health care system along with health changes they had had during midlife. They connected some of their health related problems to their hardships of migration. They also expressed confusion about the health care they had received in Sweden including conflicting and mistrusting relationship with some health care providers. Important for their way of coping with their own health seemed to be a recognition of their own space, level of independence, self-acceptance and awareness of power relationships. Conclusion: The results illuminate the importance of awareness of influence of gender and socio-cultural aspects, power relationships and communication skills among health care providers on women’s health. Complementary interventions to the biomedical paradigm are needed and should be addressed in Swedish health staff educational programmes as well as in clinical training.

%X Sekstiseks flyktningbarn som kom alene til Norge før de fylte 15 år, ble intervjuet og spurt om de hadde noen råd til voksne som arbeider med barn som dem. Ved hjelp av tematisk analyse ble fire overordnede råd funnet: «Vær snill» «Prøv å innta mitt perspektiv» «Hjelp meg» og «Gi reglene mening». Sitater fra barna gir rådene innhold, og artikkelen drøfter hva rådene kan bety for profesjonelle omsorgsgivere. Formålet med artikkelen er å bidra til at omsorgen blir enda bedre tilpasset barnas behov. Sixty-six unaccompanied refugee children that arrived into Norway before the age of 15 were interviewed and asked if they had any advice to professionals that work with children like them. By using Thematic Analysis four superordinate advices were found: Be kind Try to take my perspective Help me and Give meaning to the rules. Quotations from the children give content to the advice and it is discussed how their advice may inform professional caretakers and social workers. The aim of this article is to contribute to even better adapted care for these children.

%X Three decades ago, Sweden extended municipal and provincial voting privileges to non-citizen residents on the grounds that this would increase political influence, interest and self-esteem among this group of immigrants. Three decades later, in the political and public debate, electoral participation on the part of immigrants is perceived as being substantially lower than for native-born citizens. As a result, questions have arisen regarding the degree to which this may be symptomatic of a larger integration issue. The aim of this paper is to explore the determinants of voting in municipal elections for immigrants—both naturalised and non-citizens, in Sweden, by controlling for a number of socio-economic and demographic and immigrant specific characteristics. More specifically, using cohort analysis, the idea is to study the impact of time spent in the country on the voting behaviour of immigrants, foreign citizens and naturalised over time. Two unique sets of data were used in the research. The 2002, 2006 and 2010 electoral surveys (participation study) all contain information about individual electoral participation in municipal elections. This information is matched to registry data from Statistics Sweden, which also contains information relating to every Swedish resident. From these two sources of information, a database is created that matches voting to individual characteristics. This study analyses 60 thousand immigrants of which 43 thousand are non-citizens. After controlling for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, the results show that the acquisition of citizenship makes a real difference in the voting odds. Immigrants who obtain citizenship are far more likely to vote than those who do not. Country of birth also makes a difference: Compared to immigrants from the Nordic countries, Europeans and North American immigrants are equal or less likely to vote, whereas immigrants from Asia, Africa and Latin America are more likely to vote. Finally, immigrants’ odds of voting increase as their length of stay in the country does. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

%X Three decades ago, Sweden extended municipal and provincial voting privileges to non-citizen residents arguing that it would increase political influence, interest and self-esteem among foreign citizens. The aim of this paper is to explore the act of voting as a measure of social inclusion by comparing voting propensities of immigrants (people born outside Sweden), their descendants (born in Sweden) and native Swedish citizens (those who have citizenship through jus sanguine) while controlling for a range of socio-economic, demographic characteristics, contextual factors and a set of "hard" and "soft" social inclusion related variables. In particular we focus on the impact of citizenship acquisition – does the symbolic act of attaining citizenship result in increased voting participation on the part of Swedish residents who are not citizens by birth. We use the Swedish 2006 electoral survey matched to registry data from Statistics Sweden to assess the correlates of voting by Swedish-born and immigrant residents. Using instrumental variable regressions we estimate the impact of citizenship acquisition. We find that acquisition of citizenship makes a real difference to the probability of voting. Immigrants who naturalise are in general far more likely to vote than those who do not.

Vi inkluderer familie­innvandrere til en flyktning, og denne gruppen utgjør rundt 30 prosent av vår populasjon. I perioden 1990-2010 kom 47 600 personer med flyktningbakgrunn, som er 18 år og eldre og med lav/ingen/ukjent utdanning, til Norge. Dette utgjør 61 prosent av alle personer med flyktningbakgrunn 18 år eller eldre. En tredjedel i populasjonen har ukjente utdanningsopplysninger. Blant de som har registrert lavt utdanningsnivå, utgjør personer med grunnskoleutdanning den største gruppen.

%X This study examined educational aspirations and vocational identity formation among unaccompanied refugees in Norway. In Phase 1 we employed questionnaire data from 918 unaccompanied refugees to investigate the effects of demographic information, pre-migration trauma, mental health and acculturation-related factors on their educational aspirations. In Phase 2, data from Identity Status Interviews (ISI) with 29 participants was analyzed to obtain information about vocational identity status distribution and to examine core themes and contextual factors underlying their vocational choices. The findings from Phase 1 showed that none of the theoretically and empirically based included variables had a significant effect on their aspirations. Moreover, the overall regression model was non-significant. We discussed these findings in relation to the strong motivation among unaccompanied minors to create better lives for themselves than they could have in the countries they fled from, irrespective of their traumatic experiences and mental health problems. In Phase 2 the most important themes emerging from the ISIs revolved around age, time, and economics. The remedial education to bridge the pre-flight gap in formal education meant that the unaccompanied refugee youth entered upper secondary school at substantially older ages than their classmates. Their older ages then led them to prioritize economic considerations in making vocational choices, since the support from the Child Welfare Services is discontinued when they reach the age of majority. Consequently, most of them chose short vocational paths toward earning a living, rather than complex roads that led to the realization of their own long-term aspirations. This may have limited the social mobility of unaccompanied refugees.

%X Rapporten presenterer resultatene fra en evaluering av Omsorgsarbeiderprosjektet i Trondheim. Prosjektet, som er et samarbeid mellom Trondheim kommune og Sør-Trøndelag fylkeskommune, startet opp i 2002 og har hatt som målsetting å kvalifisere flyktninger og innvandrere for omsorgssektoren. Et viktig siktemål med prosjektet har vært å utnytte det arbeidskraftpotensialet innvandrere representerer innenfor en sektor som har et stort arbeidskraftbehov. Prosjektet tilbyr fagopplæring der praktisk og teoretisk opplæring gjennomføres i et tett samarbeid med kommunale arbeidsplasser innen omsorgssektoren. Status etter fire år er at samtlige tolv deltakere har tatt fagbrev som omsorgsarbeidere. Prosjektet beskrives som en ubetinget suksess. Viktige suksessfaktorer har vært: • Tydelig kobling mellom arbeidslivets behov og innvandrernes muligheter • Motiverte elever • Opplæring som tar utgangpunkt i elevens forutsetninger • Tett samarbeid mellom teori og praksis • En realistisk tidsramme

%X The authors discuss the cooperation between immigrant associations and public institutions for adult education in Sweden. They emphasize the growing importance of activism for social inclusion among immigrant associations and the stigmatization and subordinate position of these same organizations. Based on empirical case studies from metropolitan Stockholm, the authors argue that these associations have become more or less institutionalized in terms of new partnerships (between state, municipality and volunteer organizations) and have taken over a number of service functions from the retreating welfare state. The authors argue that the partnership in the area of adult education is unequal. They examine problems of this partnership both in terms of lack of dialogue and culturally defined hierarchy and in terms of adjustment to market exigency. They do this on the backdrop of the changing institutional system of adult education and its role in the social inclusion of migrants. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Artikeln belyser samverkan mellan sammanslutningar bildade på etnisk grund och folkbildningens studieförbund i Sverige. Engagemang för social inkludering har fått en ökad betydelse för "invandrarföreningar". Samtidigt är dessa föreningar inte sällan utsatta för stigmatisering och försatta i en underordnad position. Med utgångspunkt i fältarbete i det mångetniska Stockholm pekar författarna på hur "invandrarföreningar" har blivit till institutionaliserade samverkansaktörer i nya former av partnerskap (mellan till exempel stat och kommun, frivilligorganisationer och naringsliv) där de hat tagit över en rad servicefunktioner i och med välfärdsstatens pågående omvandling. Exemplet samverkan kring folkbildning visar på ett starkt ojämlikt partnerskap mellan "invandrarföreningar" och studieförbund. Några av de omständigheter som lyfts fram som problematiska är brist på dialog, kulturellt definierade hierarkier mellan "svenskar" och "invandrare" och en allt starkare anpassning i förhallande till marknadens krav och förväntningar.

%X A ter having evaluated various different integration projects in the city of Malmö, carried out within the framework of the Swedish Metropolitan project during a period stretching from 1999 till 2004, we have a stable base for drawing some general conclusions concerning issues inherent in successful integration methods. In this paper we discuss the link work model, i.e. a method connecting people of diverging levels and networks. The aim of the paper is to give insights into the integration process, identifying both important qualities of a good link worker and the situation and conditions needed to gain the wanted result. Canals of communication, in all directions, are pointed out as the most important factor for creating dialogue, understanding and integration. Link workers are central when it comes to helping individuals, groups, institutions, officers, politicians, employers etc, creating and establishing contacts on all levels and contexts.The main result from the comparative analysis of our material is that the single most important factor explaining whether a project will succeed or fail, concerns how well or bad the link work is setup and performed. The keywords for a good link worker and good link work are, in our opinion, personal communication, mutual respect and a mandate for the link worker allowing him /her to take decisions and execute them.

%X Resettlement, Swedenprogram, and the notion of the "passive refugee"This study analyzes discourses of refugees as manifested in a part of the Swedish resettlement work called the Swedenprogram. The aim of the programs is to, through dialogue; actively involve refugees in their resettlement. The program can be situated within an overall increased emphasis on activating refugees and asylum seekers in order for them to take responsibility for their integration. Video observations were carried out of nine Swedenprograms that were held in Kenya and Sudan. The information provided by the delegations is based on the notion of ideal citizen as active, responsible, and engaged in self-fulfillment. However, the study also shows that the information given to the youth positions them as potentially lacking these traits. The idea of the passive refugee permeates the information in different ways and includes a gender aspect. The study also shows how the youths navigate and sometimes resist the stereotype positioning of themselves.

%X Public discourse often portrays Islam as the main obstacle for Muslim minorities' integration, paying little attention to the contextual factors hindering this process. Here, we focus on islamophobia as one destructive factor that hinders the mutual integration between Muslim minority and Western majority members, affecting both groups. In Study 1, the more islamophobic majority members were, the more they expected Muslims to give up their heritage culture and the less they wanted them to integrate. In Study 2, only when Muslims experienced substantial religious discrimination did religious identity negatively relate to national engagement and particularly positively relate to ethnic engagement. Together, the studies suggest that religious prejudice in the form of islamophobia is a major obstacle to Muslims' integration because it increases the incongruity between majority and minority members' acculturation attitudes.

%X Formålet med denne artikel er at undersøge det pædagogiske arbejde med asylsøgende børn i den kommunale grundskole i Danmark. Undersøgelsen er informeret af en mikrosociologisk tilgang og består af både interviews med ansatte i skole, asylcenter og forvaltning og deltagende observationer. Undersøgelsen er informeret af Goffmans teori om den sociale samhandlingsorden og Hochschilds teori om følelser og følelsesarbejde. Den analytiske opmærksomhed på de tilgange og begrundelser for det pædagogiske arbejde, der bearbejdes blandt deltagerne i og mellem skole, asylcenter og forvaltning. Analysen er bygget op omkring tre hovedområder: a) arbejdets vilkår og bearbejdninger, b) at skabe det gode børneliv mens de venter, c) dilemmaer mellem professionel distance og personligt engagement. Artiklen viser, hvordan det pædagogiske arbejde er præget af en dobbelthed mellem integration på den ene side og kontinuitet vs. midlertidighed på den anden side. Dernæst hvordan den særlige organisering af undervisningen i asylklasser skaber et professionelt mulighedsrum for lærere og pædagoger.

%X This study examined the role of value patterns of potential migrants from Russia to Finland (N = 229) in predicting expectations of post-migration socio-cultural adaptation. Furthermore, the fit between migrants' personal values and the values they expect to encounter in the new home country (i.e. perceived value congruence) was hypothesized to predict anticipated socio-cultural adaptation (ASCA). The study took into account perceived cultural distance variables as well as socio-demographic controls traditionally related to adaptation outcomes among migrants. According to the results, familiarity with the host country (i.e., the number of Finnish friends/relatives in Finland), the openness to change value and perceived value congruence significantly predicted potential migrants' ASCA. When using four sub-scales (interpersonal relations, cognitive understanding, impersonal perils and bureaucracy) of the ASCA-scale, a more complex picture emerged. The results suggest that future work should include values, particularly perceived value congruence, in the analysis of the cultural fit hypothesis, as well as find better means of supporting immigrant adjustment starting at the pre-migration stage.

%X Abstract: The paper starts from the observation that research on immigrants’ integration trajectories needs detailed information, both objective and attitudinal, and ideally longitudinal. This study uses the cases of Denmark and Sweden - whose registers produce detailed records about all natives’ and immigrants’ lives in their host countries - in order to, first, review existing research on immigrants and their integration and, second, discuss the way in which register data are used, their caveats and their potential. The study finds that, in Denmark and Sweden, registers provide systematic objective data which are fully available to researchers and have the potential to help in the collection of high-quality subjective data. However, the population registers have some traits which may impact on the representativeness of the samples. The authors argue that, if researchers are aware of the caveats, registers can be used to obtain representative samples of immigrants, and register data can be complemented with survey-based attitudinal data, thus opening up new research opportunities for testing propositions on integration theories.

%X <bold>Background: </bold>Understanding the differential utilization of healthcare services is essential to address the public health challenges. Through the migration process, refugees move from one set of health risk factors to another and can face multiple healthcare challenges along their journey. Yet how these changing risk factors influence refugees' use of health care services is poorly understood.<bold>Methods: </bold>A longitudinal survey assessing health care utilization of 353 adult Syrian refugees was conducted; first in a transit setting in Lebanon and after one year of resettlement in Norway. The main outcomes are the utilization of general practitioner services, emergency care, outpatient and/or specialist care and hospitalization during the previous 12 months. Associations between use of healthcare services and several sociodemographic, migration-related and health status variables at both time points were found using regression analysis. We also analyzed longitudinal changes in utilization rates using generalized estimating equations.<bold>Results: </bold>The use of general practitioner and emergency care increased after resettlement while outpatient/specialist care markedly dropped, and hospitalization rates remained the same. Undocumented status and poor self-rated health (SRH) prior to resettlement were identified as predictors for use of health care after arrival. After resettlement, higher health literacy, higher education, higher social support and poor SRH and quality of life were significantly associated with use of healthcare services.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Utilization of health services changes post migration to the destination country and are associated with migration-related and socio-demographic factors. Poor SRH is associated with use of services, both pre-arrival and post-resettlement. Our findings have implications for future resettlements, health care policies and service provision to newly arrived refugees with regard to both health needs as well as delivery of services.

%X Sweden is a welfare state with a family policy that strongly emphasizes equality without distinction by place of birth or gender. In this study, we investigate the differences in uptake of parental leave between native and immigrant mothers, and the connection to labour-market attachment. Sweden represents a unique case study, not only because of the strong effort to combine work and family for all women and men, the high level of fertility and the large presence of immigrants in the country; it also enables a detailed and sophisticated analysis based on the high-quality data derived from its population registers. We find that immigrant mothers use more parental leave benefit the first year after their child's birth, but then fewer in the second year compared with native mothers. The differences diminish when labour-market activity is controlled for. Additionally, after a time in Sweden, immigrant mothers use leave more similarly to how native mothers do.

%X ABSTRACT Our purpose in this article is to examine socio-economic and spatial integration of ethnic minorities in the Oslo region. We analyse relocation between 1998 and 2008 for members of ten minority groups along three overlapping dimensions: upwards in the neighbourhood hierarchy, outwards from the inner city to all suburbs, and westwards from a less affluent to a more affluent part of the region. The results provide some limited support for spatial assimilation theory. Two minority groups, Iranians and Vietnamese, comply partly with the theory. Another group, Filipinos, has stagnated in its socio-economic and spatial integration. The remaining groups do not relocate in accordance with the native pattern, or fail to integrate in socio-economic terms. The discrepancy between theory and results is most pronounced along the westward axis. We interpret the results in a broader context of regional and national circumstances: spatial assimilation theory may have different utility in different welfare regimes, depending on spatial inequality and the politics of place.

%X Studerer vi andelen i arbeid eller utdanning i aldersgruppen 16-34 år, befinner norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre seg mye nærmere majoriteten enn det innvandrere gjør. Det er særlig unge under utdanning som påvirker aktivitetstallene blant norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre. Rapporten beskriver forskjeller i andelen som er i jobb eller under utdanning (andel aktive) blant personer i aldersgruppen 16-34 år. Det er tre befolkningsgrupper som sammenliknes: De som har kommet til Norge som innvandrere fra følgende verdensregioner: Øst- Europa utenom EU, Asia, Afrika, Sør- og Mellom-Amerika og Oseania utenom Australia og New-Zealand. De som er født i Norge av foreldre som er innvandrere fra de samme verdensregionene Personer uten innvandringsbakgrunn, det vil si majoritetsbefolkningen. Rapporten bygger på registerbaserte statistikker per 4. kvartal 2015, og alle som inngår i analysen, er registrert bosatt i Norge (i Folkeregisteret) på dette tidspunktet. Norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre ligger nært opptil majoriteten Tallene bekrefter hovedmønsteret fra tidligere rapporter ved at norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre ligger atskillig nærmere ungdom i majoritetsbefolkningen, enn det innvandrerne gjør, når det gjelder andelen aktive. For aldersgruppen 16-34 år sett under ett er forskjellen i forhold til majoriteten 4,3 prosentpoeng for norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre, mens den er nesten seks ganger så stor for de som selv har innvandret, det vil si 25,1 prosentpoeng. Imidlertid ligger de som innvandret før skolepliktig alder, omtrent på nivå med norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre. Litt mer variasjon i ulike aldersgrupper Mer oppdelte aldersgrupper gir imidlertid noen nyanser i dette bildet. Blant annet er avstanden til majoriteten med hensyn til andel aktive blant norskfødte over 24 år med innvandrerforeldre litt større enn for de yngre aldersgruppene. For aldersgruppen 25-29 år er den på 6,9 prosentpoeng, og for dem i aldersgruppen 30-34 år 9,3 prosentpoeng. Dette er en følge av noe mindre andeler aktive norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre i disse aldersgruppene, der sysselsetting er den dominerende statusen. I den eldste aldersgruppen er det i særlig grad kvinnene som har størst avstand til majoriteten med 11,3 prosentpoeng. Aldersgruppen 25-34 år utgjør per i dag ikke mer enn 30 prosent av de norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre i populasjonen vi ser på her. Følgelig påvirkes aktivitetsnivået for denne befolkningsgruppen mest av aldersgruppen 16-24 år, der utdanning er den dominerende aktiviteten. Fullføring av videregående har større betydning enn innvandrerbakgrunn Et generelt trekk vi kan se i denne analysen, er at det å fullføre videregående utdanning har større betydning enn innvandringsbakgrunn for om man er i arbeid eller under utdanning. Aktivitetsnivået for norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre og innvandrere med utdanning utover obligatorisk nivå ligger et godt stykke over det vi finner blant majoriteten med bare obligatorisk utdanning. Det er personer med bare obligatorisk utdanning som har desidert lavest aktivitetsnivå i alle tre befolkningsgrupper, og på dette utdanningsnivået er forskjellene gruppene imellom ikke så store. Da gruppene med innvandringsbakgrunn har større andeler med bare obligatorisk utdanning enn majoriteten blant dem over 19 år, er dette en viktig medvirkende årsak til forskjellene mellom befolkningsgruppene sett under ett. Dette gjelder i særlig grad innvandrere. Justisdepartementet har finansiert arbeidet med rapporten.

%X The authors discuss cooperation between immigrant associations and public institutions for adult education in Sweden. They emphasize, on the one hand, the growing importance for social inclusion of activism among immigrant associations, and, on the other hand, their stigmatization and subordinate position. Based on empirical case studies from metropolitan Stockholm, the authors argue that these associations have become more or less institutionalized in terms of new partnerships (between state, municipality, and voluntary organizations) and have taken over a number of service functions from the receding welfare state. Focusing on issues of cooperation in the area of adult education, the authors examine problems of partnership and conclude that partnership is asymmetrical and problematic. Contextualizing a changing institutional system of adult education and its role in the social inclusion of migrants, they characterize these problems in terms of unequal dialogue, a culturally defined hierarchy, and adjustment to market exigencies.

%X The regional unemployment elasticity of annual earnings for non-OECD immigrants is found to be more than three times larger than for natives, using micro data covering all immigrants in Norway in 1990 and a random sample of natives. The decline in relative earnings of non-OECD immigrants from 1980 to 1990 can largely be explained by the stronger impact of rising unemployment on immigrant earnings. These results highlight the importance of controlling for different period effects caused by fluctuating unemployment in panel studies of earnings assimilation among immigrants.

%X Aims and objectives: To gather insight in conditions important to an understanding of undocumented migrants' life situations and more specifically to explore undocumented migrants' quality of life and how we can understand the various domains of quality of life related to demographics, living conditions, migration history and inflicted burden. Background: Undocumented migrants suffer from economic hardship and acculturative stress, limited psychological and social support and at the same time restricted access to health care and social welfare. Design: An exploratory mixed methods design using primarily quantitative data with a qualitative component was implemented. Methods: Sociodemographic data on 90 undocumented migrants were collected, and self‐report questionnaires on quality of life and psychological distress were completed, supplemented by qualitative data obtained through interviews and additional qualitative questions. The STROBE checklist for cross‐sectional studies was used for reporting this study. Results: Quality of life in our group of undocumented migrants was poor. Leaving their home country because of war or persecution, hunger, having experienced abuse, homelessness and higher age were statistically significantly associated with poorer quality of life. Having membership in a local association and having a partner were statistically significantly associated with better quality of life. Qualitative data indicate that marginal living conditions, fear of death and suffering and conditions associated with dependency were the main components comprising the burden to our respondents, reflecting their precarious juridical status as undocumented migrants. Conclusion: Our respondents' poor quality of life was related to the complex interplay between possible exposures to traumatic experiences before and during flight and post‐migration traumatisation in relation to our respondents' experiences of economic, social and acculturative hardship in Norway. Relevance to Clinical Practice: Responses called for to improve undocumented migrants' quality of life and eliminate barriers to their health care appeal more to nurses as a professional group and to those in positions of authority than each individual nurse on duty.

%X This article investigates the role of expert knowledge in integration policy-making in the case of Sweden and Denmark. The two countries have developed very different integration policies and therefore provide an interesting comparison of the research-policy nexus. It is argued that social scientists play a role in the construction of policy narratives, but that their role can be very different. In Sweden, social scientists have been influential in agenda-setting and conceptual rethinking of immigrant integration policies. In Denmark social science research has been utilised in a more selective 'pick-and-choose' manner to legitimate government policies.

%X Why do highly skilled migrants encounter difficulties getting a skilled job? In this study, instead of searching for an answer in migrants' characteristics, we turn to organizations and ask: why do organizations underemploy highly skilled migrants? With an in-depth qualitative study of a programme for highly skilled migrants' labour integration in Sweden, we show that highly skilled migrants are perceived as a potential threat to organizational norms and practices. Using the relational theory of risk – approaching risk as socially constructed – the study provides a novel explanation for highly skilled migrants' underemployment. It shows an organization logic protecting corporate practices seen as 'normal' from a perceived disruption that employing highly skilled migrants could possibly cause. Theoretical contributions to the understanding of highly skilled migrants' employability are threefold: (1) the field assumption that organizations are in favour of hiring migrants is challenged; (2) highly skilled migrants' underemployment is explained through a protective organizational logic; and (3) we stress the necessity to problematize an implicit reference to organizational normality when recruiting.

%X Objective. In the late 1980s unaccompanied children began arriving in Sweden. Many of them were teenage boys who had been called up or were at risk of being called up for military service in a war in their home country. Others had fled their homeland for political reasons. The purpose of the study was to describe how unaccompanied young adult refugees experienced their own life situation and well-being seven years after they had gained permanent residency. Design. The original sample comprised 34 unaccompanied refugees who at 16-26 years of age were placed in a municipality in Sweden. Eleven of these participated in the present second follow-up study after a mean of 10 years in their new country. Qualitative interviews were conducted and analysed according to Giorgi's descriptive phenomenology. Results. Most of the participants expressed contentedness with their lives and had begun to adjust to their new country. They had a social network of friends from the same ethnic group, and their Swedish contacts were mostly workmates. A few felt lonely and expressed despondency and depression. They were single and reported a small network and limited social support. One participant described symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), even after 11 years in the new homeland. Conclusion. It appears that most of the participants in the present follow-up study had worked through the problems that typically face refugees and had begun adapting to their new country, while a few still felt lonely and did not feel part of the community. The results may be affected by non-response. Those who dropped out may live with more distress in everyday life and suffer depression more frequently. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group Ltd.

%X In 2015, 35,369 unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) applied for asylum in Sweden, making it the number one destination country for URMs in Europe. URMs often face multiple social problems and mental health issues that can be the result of stressful pre-migration experiences, the migration experience itself, and integration challenges in Europe. Drawing on grey as well as peer-reviewed literature, this paper aims to provide insight into how Sweden deals with the reception of URMs in general, and which challenges social service systems faced during the height of the "European Migration Crisis in 2015." Particular focus is placed on the role of residential care settings in providing accommodation and care for URMs. A synthesis of the literature suggests that although Sweden can be seen as a country with long-standing experience in receiving migrants, the influx of migrants has challenged the welfare state in keeping its high standard of social support for URMs and maintaining the quality of professional social work interventions. Nonetheless, considerable efforts have been made to adapt existing services and create new psychosocial interventions.

%X Resettling into a new country may pose many challenges for unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs). In this study we seek to get a better understanding of these challenges through analysing interviews with 48 URMs five years after their arrival in Norway, using the concept of turning points as an analytic frame. Gaining a sense of security, feeling affiliated, being loved and cared for, and becoming independent were identified as important turning points. Despite high levels of agency, many of the youths struggled to fulfil these basic needs, possibly due to limited relational and cultural resources. These struggles seemed to interfere with their capacity to participate in important developmental activities, affecting their well‐being and making integration difficult. This study's results accentuate the need for better systems and assistance from people in their support system to help URMs towards feeling secure, affiliated, loved, and independent as this may facilitate resettlement and integration.

%X Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to show how unaccompanied minors perceive the time they spend in transitional houses in Malmö in southern Sweden. An important outlook when presenting the empiric data is to provide the perspective of the child, not just to have a child perspective (i.e. an adult perspective on children's experiences). Design/methodology/approach - The paper is the result of interviews with 11 unaccompanied boys living in transitional houses, i.e., group homes. The theoretical section has two purposes, to describe the Swedish context and the ambivalent discourse regarding immigrants in Sweden and to give a background on aspects that are relevant to understand unaccompanied minors situation. Findings - Even though many unaccompanied minors suffer from psychological difficulties and worries about the asylum process, the interviews show that the children in this study are generally content with the transitional houses. The staff strives to support them in coping with daily life, and strengthen their sense of coherence. Research limitations/implications - Since unaccompanied minors do not have family close by, the interviews shows the importance in different sorts of activities to promote wellbeing. A stronger focus on participation could also be a way of reinforcing the children's sense of coherence. Originality/value - This paper gives an insight to life in transitional houses from unaccompanied minors point of view.

%X It has become a conventional approach to look at the impact of the political institutions to understand immigrant organizing patterns in the receiving countries. The underlying assumption in this process is that the organizational language of the host state makes an impact on the organizational patterns of immigrants in a given state. The article takes this insight as the backdrop for understanding the Turkish organizing processes in the Danish context and first looks at the institutional arrangements and integration- and citizenship model prevailing in Denmark and secondly, at the collective Turkish organizing processes within this structural framework while taking dynamics of social participation and agency into account. The Turkish minority group is the largest immigrant group in Denmark and the article pays attention to the heterogeneity that exists within the Turkish group and seeks to outline emerging organizing patterns with regard to ethno-national, religious, political and other dividing categories.

%X Many in Europe believe that large numbers of Turkish immigrants have failed to integrate into their host communities. How is this situation in Sweden? We found that most of the Turkish immigrants felt themselves to be Turkish and Sweden was accepted as a foreign country. Turkish-originated media was followed frequently and strong ties with relatives in Turkey were maintained. Marriage and friendship with native Swedes were not well accepted. We concluded that despite the multicultural aspects of Swedish integration policies, Turkish immigrants in Sweden were not well integrated and they prefer to live within the boundaries of their segregated, closed, small communities.

%X Trust is a decisive feature of social interactions, transactions, and relationships, yet the implications of trust in integration processes has largely escaped sociological inquiry. Based on interviews and focus group discussions with Somali immigrants in Norway, this article examines trust in the context of health care integration. Using empirical examples from a birth-clinic, the MMR-vaccine, and everyday consultancy, the study highlights that the relationship between Somalis and Norwegian health care providers is characterized by a pervasive, mutual unfamiliarity. This unfamiliarity translates to a reliance on selected Norwegian-Somalis who by commanding two health care cultures can engage as bridge-builders to negotiate associated barriers. The article argues that the combination of immigrant background and formal health knowledge constitutes a type of cultural health capital. Although tapping into this capital extends the health care system and enhances Somalis' ability to invest trust and benefit from entitlements, a shared background is not synonymous with trust.

%X Multiple psychosocial factors influence help-seeking behavior among immigrants, but studies have focused on separate issues in single cultural groups. This study tested a model of help-seeking behavior among three ethnically different immigrant groups. Participants were 1356 Somali, Russian, and Kurdish immigrants (18–64 years). They reported past traumatic events, social network, acculturation indices, trust in services, and mental health as well as usage of mental and somatic health services. Structural equation modeling (SEM) with multigroup procedure was applied. First, past traumatic events were associated with seeking more mental health services, indirectly mediated through increased risk for mental health problems in all three ethnic groups. Second, acculturation played a significant role in the use of mental and somatic health services only in Kurds and social networks in Kurds and Russians. The unique culturally influenced dynamics in help-seeking behavior should be considered in the development of health services.

%X Education has become an increasingly important factor in relation to migration and the social reproduction strategies of migrants. This article examines how migration and its minority/majority relational dimension play a part in the development of education strategies of Pakistani youngsters. Transnational migration research has shown that the relation of minority groups to the receiving society is clearly affected by local migration strategies, continuing relations with the place of origin, and the actual opportunities available in the host society. The transnational perspective is also crucial to understanding how minorities conceive their host society and the 'national' schooling system, and how they manage within these. Following a discussion of the notions of transnational migration, transnationalism and transnational migrant communities, I examine the significance of transnational migrant communities for understanding the education strategies of Pakistani youngsters in Denmark. Pakistani minorities have a long history of experience with migration and the need to integrate a widening and varied set of socioeconomic conditions across local and national boundaries. Employing education as a social mobility strategy has become a more common practice among groups in traditionally caste-dominated social relations. Furthermore, among Pakistani migrant communities, biradari relations also operate as a flexible social category that affects the opportunities groups have to convert economic capital into schooling and education capital, and future symbolic capital. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Ltd.

%X Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the health and well-being of Thai immigrant women in transnational marriages.Design/methodology/approach Interviews with 13 Thai women living in Norway who have (had) a Norwegian spouse/partner were conducted and the transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis.Findings Initial culture shock and a mixture of employment issues, transnational ties, marital relationships and social networks intertwined to influence women's health and well-being over time. Sending financial remittances to family in Thailand could be challenging due to struggles to obtain suitable employment, working in low-paid physical jobs and spouses' lack of understanding of this cultural practice. Over time, these intertwined factors led to chronic stress and deteriorating health for some. Thai networks and friendships were important for emotional and practical support.Practical implications More organised assistance may be beneficial to facilitate integration, reduce social isolation and improve employment opportunities.Originality/value Research on Thai women has so far focused on their position as immigrant wives and the vulnerabilities to exploitation and abuse they face. Focusing on only discourses around marital relationships may be limiting when trying to understand factors that influence the health and well-being of Thai immigrant women.

%X Sweden has a long history of conducting questionnaire-based Public Health Surveys (PHS) to monitor health determinants. As Sweden has become a multi-ethnic society a linguistically adapted instrument to collect data was first used in Stockholm PHS 2006 to overcome the barrier of lack of Swedish language proficiency, but more importantly to overcome the psychological barrier of being excluded. The questionnaire was translated into the six most spoken languages among Swedish immigrants, namely Arabic, English, Farsi, Finnish, Spanish, and Turkish. In spite of a decrease in participation rate (—2.9%, p < 0.0001) among native Swedes in PHS 2006 compared with PHS 2002, there was a substantial increase in participation rate among immigrants in PHS 2006 who received a translated questionnaire or were interviewed in their mother tongue. The increase in response rate varied from 2.1% among Finnish-speaking immigrants up to 12.4% among Turkish-speaking immigrants and was significant for Arabic-speaking (p < 0.0001), Farsi-speaking (p = 0.003), Spanish-speaking (p < 0.0001) and Turkish-speaking (p < 0.0001) immigrants. Various attempts to increase participation rate will be of importance to policy makers involved in the integration of the immigrant population, to healthcare professionals, and obviously to the public. © 2010, the Nordic Societies of Public Health.

%X Purpose - In 2015, Scandinavia experienced the arrival of many refugee children. Research has documented a higher prevalence of mental health problems among refugee compared to non-migrant children. Education and schools play an important role in the health and wellbeing of children, especially those who are vulnerable, and equity in education may help combat social and health inequalities. This study investigated educators’ views on the health and wellbeing needs of migrant children in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Malmö, Sweden, and how schools may address these issues. Methods - We carried out 14 semi-structured interviews with education professionals in both cities and conducted a thematic analysis inspired by the Street Level Bureaucracies theory. Results - Most interviewees recognized NAMR pupils had specific migration-related needs but some expressed being unable to cope with more complex issues due to a lack of vital health and wellbeing services within schools. Recent policies in Denmark further devolved migrant education to municipalities; while in Sweden new policies centralized and standardized procedures. Conclusion - To summarize, educational leaders and staff we interviewed in both countries felt that the lack of resources, professional training, standardized procedures and accountability measurement, together with inflexible systems, inhibited them from providing equitable education, thus possibly reinforcing migration-related health inequalities.

%X This article aims to study the incorporation of homeland-based cultural practices of minorities within a majority cultural space and the dynamics of mutual incorporation of cultural practices of the majority and first-generation minority Tamils and Somalis in Norway. Homeland-based cultural practices refer to culturally rooted practices and habits that had been followed by Tamils and Somalis while they were living in their home country. While discussing tensions around the minority cultural practices in a majority cultural space, the article suggests a model for mutual incorporation of cultural practices of the majority and minorities.

%X Med de stigende krav om integration af etniske minoriteter, er det vigtigt at formulere forventninger og krav til den del af det psykoterapeutiske rum, som tolkningen udgør. Formålet med artiklen er at beskrive væsentlige perspektiver på tolkning primært ud fra et behandlingsmæssigt synspunkt. Tolkens rolle ses som kulturformidleren, der skal bygge bro mellem de to kulturer, inden for en kontekst, der stiller en række betingelser af metode- og funktionsmæssig art. Der fokuseres på dynamikken i den triadiske relation, og især på de komplicerede overførings- og modoverføringsrelationer. Vanskelighederne ved neutralitet og objektivitet i en tværkulturel sammenhæng berøres ligesom kravene til sproglig kompetence, fagkundskab og personlige egenskaber specificeres. Den terapeutiske forfinelse og præcision i arbejdet med flygtninge er kun mulig, hvis der foregår en parallel udvikling og opkvalificering af tolkens arbejde.

%X A major portion of migration flows are temporary, ending with return migration to the home country or migration to a third country. However, the propensity to return differs according to migrants' countries of origin. This paper presents a discussion of the theoretical approaches to return migration and a brief survey of the actual flows in Denmark. We then present a panel data set of immigrants to Denmark covering the years 1986 - 1995 and run a number of logit models where return migration is related to individual background factors. Our research shows significant differences in decisions of return depending on country of origin, age at entry, education, and family ties. One of the most important determinants is found to be a migrant's success, or lack thereof, regarding labour market integration. This research suggests that policy instruments such as education, training, and temporary wage subsidies could play an important role in controlling the interaction between immigration and labour market forces. © 2007 IOM.

%X This article compares and contrasts male immigrant labor market experiences in Sweden and Denmark during the period 1985-1995. Using register-based panel data sets from Sweden and Denmark, a picture of the employment assimilation process of immigrants from Norway, Poland, and Turkey is presented. The comparative approach shows that immigrants in Sweden and Denmark experienced similar declines in employment prospects between 1985 and 1995 despite quite different developments of aggregate labor market conditions. A possible explanation is that the changing organizational structure - toward more flexible work organization -has resulted in a decrease in the attractiveness of immigrant employees due to the increasing importance of country-specific skills and informal human capital. © 2006 by the Center for Migration Studies of New York.

%X A central element of assimilation theory is that increasing time and number of previous immigrant generations in a host country leaves immigrants and their children more integrated and capable of navigating the host society. However, the underperformance of some immigrant groups in Sweden calls into question this relationship. Additionally, many studies regard intermarriage as an outcome of immigrant integration and rarely investigate whether integration continues after intermarriage. Using population level data from the Swedish interdisciplinary panel on 22 cohorts of ninth-grade students born between 1973 and 1995, we examine the effect of parents' time in Sweden on their children's grade point average using family fixed effects. Additionally, we investigate whether this relationship differs between "2.0" and "2.5" generation children. We find, generally, that parents' time in Sweden increases their children's educational performance, though some variation by parents' region of origin exists. This supports the idea that integration experiences in immigrant families can be transmitted across generations. Further, this generally holds for both the 2.0 and 2.5 generation children. This relationship among the 2.5 generation is notable as previous studies using a family-based approach looking at the intergenerational transmission of integration have largely focused on the children of two foreign-born parents.

%X In this study we examine the time-, context- and outcome-specificity of the effects of acculturation attitudes on immigrant psychological and socio-economic adaptation. The participants were 172 immigrants from Russia and the former Soviet Union residing in Finland and Israel, and the mean time since their arrival was approximately six years. Each of the three acculturation attitudes (separation, assimilation and integration) was positively related to immigrant adaptation, either directly or moderated by the length or by the country of residence. A main effect was obtained only for integration attitude positively predicting psychological adaptation. There was also clear evidence of context-specificity in the effect of the separation attitude on both psychological and socio-economic adaptation. The impact of integration and assimilation attitudes on socio-economic adaptation was also time-specific; these attitudes showed adaptive value only at earlier stages of the acculturation process in the culturally diverse context. These results were interpreted in terms of the different social and economic needs salient at different stages of immigrant acculturation, and of the differences in the opportunities for immigrants to meet these needs in culturally diverse and non-diverse acculturative contexts.

%X Introduksjonsprogrammet for nyankomne innvandrere er et integreringspolitisk tiltak som alle norske kommuner har plikt til å tilby nyankomne flyktninger i henhold til introduksjonsloven (lov av 4. juli 2003 nr. 80). Som nyankommet regnes den som har vært bosatt i en kommune i mindre enn to år når vedtak om deltakelse i introduksjonsordning skal treffes. Store bevilgninger gis til kommunene for gjennomføring av programmet. Undervisning i norsk språk og samfunnskunnskap står sentralt, sammen med arbeidspraksis og andre tiltak som skal føre til arbeid eller utdanning. Introduksjonsordningen er et viktig verktøy for kommunene i deres integreringsarbeid med nyankomne flyktninger. Siden 2010 har det fra myndighetenes side vært en uttrykt målsetting at 70 prosent av tidligere deltakere skal være i arbeid eller utdanning ett år etter avsluttet program. Rapporten følger personene som har gått ut av introduksjonsprogrammet i 2011 til 2015 fra og med ett år etter endt introduksjonsprogram, fram til 2016. Vi ser på deltakelse i arbeid og utdanning, samt inntektssituasjonen til de tidligere deltakerne. I 2016 var 61 prosent av deltakerne som gikk ut av introduksjonsprogrammet i 2015 i arbeid eller utdanning. 58 prosent var i arbeid eller utdanning i 2015 blant dem som gikk ut av introduksjonsprogrammet i 2014. Når vi ser på alle årgangene tilbake til 2011, er andelen i arbeid eller utdanning ett år etter avsluttet program mellom 58 og 63 prosent. For de fleste årgangene går andelen i arbeid eller utdanning for menn noe opp fra ett år til to år etter avsluttet introduksjonsprogram, og deretter flater det ut eller går ned. For kvinner som gikk ut av introduksjonsprogrammet i perioden går andelen derimot noe opp i alle årene. Andelen kvinner i arbeid og utdanning er betydelig lavere enn for menn. Blant kvinner som gikk ut av programmet i 2014 eller 2015, var 49 prosent i arbeid eller utdanning ett år etter avsluttet program. Blant mennene i de samme årgangene var andelen i arbeid eller utdanning ett år etter avsluttet program henholdsvis 66 og 71 prosent. Yrkesinntekt gir en indikasjon på grad av tilhørighet til arbeidslivet og sier noe om hvorvidt husholdningene klarer å underholde seg selv. Andel yrkesinntekt av samlet inntekt øker fra om lag 50 til over 60 prosent for alle avgangskullene i årene etter avsluttet introduksjonsprogram. Mottak av sosiale stønader som sosialhjelp, bostøtte og kvalifiseringsstønad, går samtidig ned fra om lag 25 til under 15 prosent i årene etter endt program.

%X This paper is from a study about the integration of young refugee children and their families in Sweden. The preschool has here a special responsibility in this mission for children in the age 1-5. The setting for the study is a multiethnic area located on the outskirts of the city. Methodologically an extended case is used. The study has so far been conducted during a period of 14 months doing fieldwork 1-2 days a week. The analyse focus on how the educators educate practice and talk about how the immigrant parents raise and foster their children. This is described as part of a wider ambition to integrate immigrants in Swedish society.

%X Mainstreaming is a popular approach when seeking to address societal inequalities. Gender and migrant integration are mainstreamed within EU policy, both seeking to increase labour market participation as a means to redress inequality. However, there are limited references to migrant women within gender equality or integration policies at the EU level. The study dissects a subset of migrant integration projects in Sweden – a country lauded for having Europe's best integration policy while exhibiting the poorest results. The authors used non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews to identify pitfalls such as embedded stereotyping, undervaluation of cultural motivations, gender-washing, and methodological misalignment. Their findings show that gender and integration mainstreaming within the EU systematically position migrant women as a problem, despite the significantly important role they play within global labour markets. The authors conclude that migrant women may need to be included within gender and integration policy beyond the labour market.

%X In many Western countries, the public has extensively debated factors potentially leading Muslim minority-group members to support violence by foreign extremist states or to commit violence themselves. Here, one central question has been whether their acculturation orientations may play a role. Combining perspectives from intergroup threat theory and acculturation psychology, the present study investigated whether one reason for why threat perceptions lead to higher violent behavioral intentions among Muslims, as evidence by previous research, may be that they are related to distinct acculturation orientations. It tested this proposition in two samples comprising of Norwegian (N = 253) and British Muslims (N = 194). The more Norwegian Muslims perceived realistic threat, the more violent behavioral intentions they showed, but this relation was not mediated by acculturation. Among British Muslims, mainstream acculturation orientation was related to more violent intentions, while threat was not. In both samples, symbolic threat was associated with more support for Muslim military violence and this relationship was mediated by religious acculturation in the U.K. In contrast to previous research, symbolic threat was linked with less personal intentions to commit violence in the U.K., mediated by religious acculturation. Complementary analyses calculating acculturation strategies indicated that assimilated, and to some extend integrated, Muslims in both countries tended to show the highest violent behavioral intentions. By contrast, separated individuals showed the highest level of support for Muslim military violence. Ways in which these findings can be used to counter violence and improve intergroup relations in Western ethnically diverse societies are discussed.

%X <bold>Background: </bold>Migrants face structural, socio-political barriers in their resettlement processes that negatively affect their health. Migration also adversely impacts resources such as social capital and health literacy that are of importance for health and integration into society. Hence, there is a need for health promotion in the early post-migration phase. In Sweden, newly settled refugee migrants who have received a residence permit are offered an Introduction programme including a civic orientation course. The program is intended to facilitate access to the labour market and promote integration. The aim of the study was to explore participants' perceptions and experiences of a civic orientation course with added health communication.<bold>Methods: </bold>We performed six focus group discussions: two in Arabic, two in Farsi and two in Somali. The discussions were facilitated by native speaking moderators. Participants were 32 men and women recruited from civic orientation classes in the county of Stockholm. We used an interview guide with semi-structured questions. The data were analysed using a method for content analysis for focus group discussions.<bold>Results: </bold>Three main categories were identified: (1) 'The course gives valuable information but needs adjustments', which includes that the civic and health orientation is needed earlier, during the asylum phase, and that planning and course content need adjustments. (2) 'The health communication inspired participants to focus on their health', which includes that the health communication was useful and inspired uptake of healthier habits. (3) 'Participation in the course promoted independence and self-confidence', which includes that the course gave insights into society and values in Sweden, and promoted independence and new social contacts.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>This study adds knowledge about the users' perspectives on the potential of civic orientation to promote the health and integration of newly settled migrants, describing ways in which civic orientation with added health communication promoted health and empowerment. However, the content and delivery of the course need adjustment to better fit the migrants' life situations and varying pre-existing knowledge.

%X This study illustrates how asylum‐seeking children, through articulated emotions, respond to being affected by experiences that enhance or restrict their sense of belonging. The findings show that, owing to power structures and relations, the children's sense of belonging was made uncertain by temporal, situational and relational boundaries of belonging. However, through their articulations, the children also contested these boundaries. The study argues that the children were moved by their structural situatedness and that their articulated emotions demonstrated their micro‐politics. The study also visualises how children may be affected when their rights are not realised in their lived forms.

%X BackgroundDue to the current world situation, Sweden has one of the highest asylum applications within the European Union. Immigrant mothers, specifically those who have immigrated during the last ten years and do not speak the language of the new country, are found to be at particular risk of being effected by postpartum depression.AimIn this study, we elucidate Swedish Child Health Services nurses' experiences of identifying signs of postpartum depression in non-Swedish-speaking immigrant mothers.MethodsLatent content analysis was used when analysing data material from 13 research interviews.ResultsBeing able to interpret a non-Swedish-speaking immigrant mother's mood required establishing and constant deepening of a transcultural caring relationship, the use of cultural knowledge to perceive signs of postpartum depression from observations and interactions and to rely on intuition.ConclusionThere are both challenges and key factors for success in interpreting the mood of non-Swedish-speaking immigrant mothers.ImplicationsThis study provides information to healthcare professionals about challenges with adapting the screening with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale to immigrant mothers not speaking the language of residence. Tacit knowledge and cultural competence among healthcare personnel are invaluable assets when interpreting mental health in this vulnerable group of mothers.

%X Jensen, Weibel and Vitus's article critically discusses contemporary Danish policies aimed at the elimination of ethnoracial discrimination, drawing on policy analyses and qualitative interviews with local and national authorities in Denmark. It illustrates how questions of discrimination and racism are marginalized and de-legitimized within the dominant integration discourse, resulting in the marginalization of anti-racism in policymaking. The side-stepping of racism is being naturalized in public policies through strategies of denial and by addressing discrimination as a product of ignorance and individual prejudice rather than as embedded in social structures. The authors examine how immigration, integration and (anti-)racism as concepts and phenomena are understood and addressed in Danish public policies and discourses. Despite denials of racism in Denmark, Jensen, Weibel and Vitus show that, based on re-definitions of identities and relations, it continues to exist and is evident in public debates and policies on immigration and integration.

%X The aim of this article is to theorize interactions between migrant transnationalism and integration using a multiscalar approach. For migrant transnationalism scholars, attention to simultaneity in transnational social fields is given. However, much migration research in Europe continues to suffer from an 'integration bias', which under-appreciates the salience of simultaneity within transnational social fields in many migrants' lives, and implicitly assumes a zero-sum approach to societal membership. Drawing on interviews with migrants in Oslo (Norway) a multiscalar analytical approach is adopted. The salience of where things happen and how they are understood, depending on the perspective of involved actors, across time, space and position, emerges when using this multiscalar approach. Identifying the roles of nested, taxonomical, but also emergent and perspective scales allows a fresh theoretical engagement with interactions between migrant transnationalism and integration, showing how simultaneity and (productive) friction result from additive, synergistic and even apparently antagonistic interactions.

%X This paper is based on a research project at Helsinki University for practice development in social work and a recent study dealing with the issue of the potential role of theatre in social work. This article analyses and explores the possibilities of using theatre for facilitating the integration of immigrants into society. It seeks to bring a new perspective to social work and to the discussion on integration through a theatrical point of view by considering the concept of integration as an act of solidarity. It opens up a more holistic view of integration and emphasizes reciprocity. This article is formed around a case study on a multicultural theatre project, the Kalevala project, in Helsinki in 2005-2006. It was found to promote integration, both through cultural interchange within the group, and also by giving the immigrants both visibility and the opportunity to show their wish to participate in Finnish culture. In return they would like the majority to show some genuine interest in them and what they can bring to the mainstream culture. The research results challenge social workers to see the potential in immigrants, instead of primarily seeing them as victims or as objects that need to be integrated. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Denna artikel baserar sig på ett forskningsprojekt vid Helsingfors universitet kring praktikforskning i socialt arbete, samt på en färsk studie i teaterns potentiella roll inom socialt arbete. Artikeln analyserar och utreder teaterns möjligheter att underlätta integrationen i samhället för invandrare. Avsikten är att tillföra socialt arbete samt integrationsdiskussionen ett nytt perspektiv genom begreppet solidarisk integration. Begreppet betonar ömsesidigheten i integrationsprocessen och öppnar möjligheter till en mera holistisk syn på integration. Artikeln diskuterar en fallstudie över ett mångkulturellt teaterprojekt, Kalevalaprojektet, som ägde rum i Helsingfors år 2005–2006. Teaterverksamheten kom att främja en solidarisk integration, dels genom det kulturella utbytet inom gruppen och dels genom att synliggöra invandrarna och deras önskan att dela den finländska kulturen. Samtidigt önskade invandrarna att majoritetsbefolkningen skulle visa ett äkta intresse för dem och det de har att erbjuda. Forskningsresultaten utmanar socialarbetare att se potentialen i invandrarna istället för att stämpla dem som offer eller integrationsobjekt.

%X The settlement and housing of refugees is high on the agenda in most European countries. This article develops a theoretical perspective on the housing provision of newly arrived migrants and applies it on the national discourses on settlement policies in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The theoretical discussion focuses on the ambivalence between choice and need in housing policy, and between promoting demos and ethnos in integration policy. The empirical analysis takes its departure in these tensions and investigates the national discourses in terms of three potential arguments for restricting autonomy in the housing market precisely for newly arrived migrants: the legal status, resource and neighbourhood arguments. This frame of analysis makes it possible to interpret and understand the surprisingly strong differences in settlement policies between the three countries. We argue that our theoretical approach and analytical framework should be relevant for understanding national political discourses on settlement policy more generally. © 2014, © Urban Studies Journal Limited 2014.

%X In 2015, a total of 35,369 unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) sought asylum in Sweden. In a previous study of 208 URMs, we found that 76% screened positive for PTSD. This study aimed to (1) evaluate the indicated prevention program Teaching Recovery Techniques (TRT) in a community setting and describe the program’s effects on symptoms of PTSD and depression in URMs; and (2) examine participants’ experiences of the program. The study included 10 groups. Methods for evaluation included the Children’s Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-8) and the Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale Self-report (MADRS-S) at baseline and at post-intervention. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 22 participating URMs to elicit their experiences. Pre- and post-measures were available for 46 participants. At baseline, 83% of the participants reported moderate or severe depression and 48% suicidal ideation or plans. Although more than half (62%) of the participants reported negative life events during the study period, both PTSD (CRIES-8) and depression (MADRS-S) symptoms decreased significantly after the intervention (p = 0.017, 95% CI − 5.55; − 0.58; and p < 0.001, 95% CI − 8.94; − 2.88, respectively). The qualitative content analysis resulted in six overall categories: social support, normalisation, valuable tools, comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness when the youth described their experiences of the program, well reflecting TRT’s program theory. Overall, results indicate that TRT, delivered in a community setting, is a promising indicated preventive intervention for URMs with PTSD symptoms. This successful evaluation should be followed up with a controlled study.

%X The article offers a re-conceptualization of the labor integration process which takes temporality into account as a relevant feature that, rather than following patterned frames of reference, is actively referenced through narratively and socially constructed formations of understanding. The European policy strategy regarding immigrants has shifted in the past decades from a focus on social integration to a predominant focus on labor market integration, due in part to the relatively high unemployment rates of immigrants entering and migrating within Europe. A personalized approach used throughout Europe to "empower" and move immigrants into the labor market has not been realized in practice. Norway, a "best case scenario" for a more personalized approach through comprehensive labor integration and activation measures, has also had limited success with the sustained labor integration of immigrants. We suggest that a source of the problem lies in the conceptualization of labor integration, which, in contrast to true personalization, follows a patterned notion of the process. We argue that such a conceptualization does not provide the means to explore and untangle potentially significant processes and mechanisms relevant to the labor integration experience. We introduce the concept of biographical circumstance to demonstrate how immigrant participants in a Norwegian labor activation program draw on different references from their personal histories as they make meaning of their labor integration—and how meaning-making is dialectically shaped and delimited by the structural effects of changing policy opportunities, rules, and regulations. We conducted 14 qualitative interviews with immigrants involved in the Norwegian Qualification Program, a national labor activation program. We select four participants to present as illustrative cases of biographical circumstance and meaning making. The four differently make meaning of and respond to their labor integration experiences through active reference to specific personal histories and changing policy encounters over time. The data demonstrate that accounting for biographical circumstance enables us to better understand the actions, rationalizations, and motivations of immigrants participating in labor integration and activation measures.

%X Group boundaries between immigrant minority and majority members are currently undergoing considerable and complex changes in European multicultural societies due to migration. In this paper, we present a descriptive, longitudinal investigation of the usage of linguistic expressions in Norwegian media discourse that describe symbolic boundary developments between immigrant minority and majority members, and their multicultural context. Seventy-two expressions are analyzed, and three temporal usage patterns are described (increasing, decreasing, and 'mountain') as central to understanding current symbolic boundaries and how they may both frame and be shaped by ideologies. Expressions describing immigrant minorities have increasingly focused on their establishment in the Norwegian multicultural society and have also shifted from general boundaries of outsiderness to increasingly specified boundaries of origins, visibility, and immigrant otherness. Norwegian majority expressions have mostly shifted toward a focus on origins. Our analysis suggests that symbolic boundaries in the Norwegian multicultural society have been changing rapidly. They seem to be shaped by complex ideological patterns constructing both similarities and differences, and which simultaneously seem to promote both inclusion and exclusion for certain immigrant minorities.

%X In this article we describe and analyse the Swedish reception of unaccompanied refugee children and efforts to promote their integration into Swedish society. We identify the actors involved in the reception and promotion of the children's integration and investigate their efforts through the lens of social ecological systems theory. We show that reception is fraught with challenges that concern lack of interconnections between actors, lack of an articulated political vision of integration and absence of systematic evaluations and long-term follow-ups of how the reception affects integration.

%X Based on ethnographic fieldwork among undocumented migrants (including asylum seekers) in Stockholm between 2004 and 2006, additional interviews with police officers, deportation escorts and staff at Swedish detention centres and some fieldwork in Tehran in June 2005 and August 2007, this article examines the impact of Sweden's more restrictive asylum policy since the beginning of the decade. From a condition of 'deportability' to incarceration in detention centres and then removal from Sweden, asylum seekers have been increasingly criminalised - their confinement and removal being seen as mechanisms for preserving national security. Focusing, in particular, on the techniques used by the detention apparatus to 'humanise' and 'rationalise' the confinement and expulsion of asylum seekers, it is argued that a discourse of 'caring' and 'saving' works, in effect, as a disciplinary mechanism that presents asylum seekers as responsible for their own detention and deportation.

%X Denne rapporten dokumenterer erfaringer fra forskningsprosjektet «Supported Employment for innvandrere med sammensatte bistandsbehov». Prosjektet er utført av Arbeidsforskningsinstituttet ved OsloMet – storbyuniversitetet på oppdrag og med finansiering fra Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet i 2016–2019. Hensikten med prosjektet var å fremskaffe forsknings- og praksisbasert kunnskap om bruk av tilnærmingen Supported Employment (SE) i kvalifiseringstiltak for innvandrere. Prosjektet var et forskningsstøttet organisasjonsutviklingsprosjekt for praksislæring og kunnskapsutvikling innenfor Supported Employment. Totalt åtte caseprosjekter prøvde ut femtrinnsprosessen i SE og medvirket til metodeutviklingen. Prosjektene var fire introduksjonsprogrammer og fire Jobbsjansen- prosjekter. Et hovedfunn i prosjektet er at femtrinnsprosessen i SE kan brukes på konstruktive måter overfor innvandrere med sammensatte bistandsbehov. Sammenlignet med tradisjonelle SE- målgrupper har denne målgruppen andre bistandsbehov: behov for språkstøtte, støtte ved kulturforskjeller, støtte til å få til reell brukermedvirkning med hensyn til kulturforskjeller og støtte til særskilte familiesituasjoner. Erfaringene fra prosjektet viser behovet for målgruppespesifikke tilpasninger i SE: tilpasninger i faglige grep og kvalitetskriterier i SEQF (Supported Employment Quality Framework), kompetanse hos jobbspesialistene samt behov for organisatoriske endringer for implementering av SE i kvalifiseringstiltak for innvandrere. Denne konklusjonen underbygges av diskusjoner i rapportens ulike kapitler om hva som kjennetegner SE tilpasset målgruppen. Slike tilpasninger vil etter vår mening føre til et mer treffsikkert SE-tilbud til målgruppen.

%X Denne håndboken er basert på erfaringer fra et treårig forsknings- og utviklingsprosjekt «Supported Employment for innvandrere med sammensatte bistandsbehov». Prosjektet er utført av Arbeidsforskningsinstituttet ved OsloMet – storbyuniversitetet på oppdrag for og med finansiering fra Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet i 2016–2019. Hensikten med prosjektet var å fremskaffe forsknings- og praksisbasert kunnskap om bruk av tilnærmingen Supported Employment (SE) i kvalifiseringstiltak for innvandrere. Totalt åtte caseprosjekter prøvde ut SE-femtrinnsprosessen og medvirket til metodeutviklingen. Prosjektene var fire introduksjonsprogrammer for nyankomne flyktninger og familiegjenforente med flyktninger og fire Jobbsjansen-prosjekter for hjemmeværende innvandrerkvinner. Håndboken retter seg primært mot jobbspesialister for innvandrere med sammensatte bistandsbehov, men vi håper den også blir til støtte og inspirasjon for alle veiledere som jobber med arbeidsinkludering av denne målgruppen. Håndboken er et supplement til eksisterende verktøy innen Supported Employment, for eksempel verktøykassen fra European Union of Supported Employment. Selv om håndboken gir en innføring i SE-femtrinnsprosessen og de generelle metodene, er dens primære oppgave å adressere målgruppespesifikke bistandsbehov og komme med utprøvde forslag til målgruppespesifikke metodiske tilnærminger i SE-femtrinnsprosessen.

%K Samfunnsernæring
%X Bakgrunn: Oslo er en av byene i Norge med høyest andel innvandrere (33 %). Forskning viser at nyankomne innvandrere kan oppleve kostholdsutfordringer i forbindelse med overgangen til et nytt land. De kan også oppleve økt forekomst av livsstilssykdommer som diabetes over tid. Flyktninger, asylsøkere og innvandrere med lave norskferdigheter er særlig sårbare grupper. Omstendigheter rundt migrasjonsprosessen, lave norskferdigheter og variert grad av utdannelse fra hjemlandet kan gjøre overgangen til et nytt land utfordrende. Et stort fokus bør derfor rettes mot integreringsarbeidet, gjennom å øke innvandreres helse- og språkkompetanse og gi de som arbeider med innvandrere noen gode redskaper i møte med gruppen. Det kultur- og språktilpassede kostholdsmateriellet for innvandrere «Sunn Start mat og helse» er evaluert med gode resultater. Det ble derfor valgt som et verktøy å bruke i det nye prosjektet ‘Sunn start mat og helse 2017-2020’. Materiellet skulle brukes ved matlagingskurs og andre kostholdsrelaterte tiltak i prosjektet. Målgruppe: Primærmålgruppen i prosjektet er personer med innvandrer- og flyktningbakgrunn som er brukere av innvandrerorganisasjoner, frisklivssentraler og beboere på mottak. Sekundærmålgruppen er i hovedsak de som arbeider med primærmålgruppen. Målsetting: Å bidra til å gjøre overgangen til et nytt land lettere gjennom å bygge kompetanse om kosthold hos primærmålgruppen. Implisitt innebærer dette å samtidig bygge kompetanse om kultursensitivitet, veilede sekundærmålgruppen i bruk av Sunn start-materiellet og videreutvikle verktøy for sekundærmålgruppen. På den måten ønsker prosjektet å bidra til å utjevne sosiale helseforskjeller. Metoder: Kvalitative og kvantitative metoder ble benyttet i evalueringen av prosjektet. Resultater: 166 ansatte og frivillige har fått kurs og veiledning i bruk av Sunn start-materiellet. I tillegg er det gjennomført 6 ulike tiltak over kortere og lengre perioder, hvor materiellet har blitt benyttet. Høsten 2017 ble det gjennomført matlagingskurs over 6 uker med personer fra Ila integreringsmottak. Høsten 2018 og våren 2019 ble det gjennomført teorikurs med praktiske oppgaver og konkreter for deltakere i introduksjonsprogrammet, på språkkaféen Møteplassen i bydel Grünerløkka. I februar 2019 ble det gjennomført matkurs for enslige mindreårige og deltakere i introduksjonsprogrammet i samme bydel. Våren 2019 ble det gjennomført et fordypningskurs i samarbeid med Bydelsmødre. Høsten 2019 ble det gjennomført teorikurs over 6 uker med konkreter på Yrkesrettet norskopplæring Stovner. Høsten 2020 ble det benyttet tilpasset materiell på minikurs ved Stovner frisklivssentral. I prosjektperioden ble det også utviklet en flippover som har blitt evaluert og det ble gjennomført en større kartlegging om bruk av materiellet. Resultatvurdering: Tilbakemeldinger fra deltakere, ansatte og frivillige viser at primærmålgruppen har fått med seg ny og nyttig kunnskap om mat og helse og at de har fått bedre norsk språk. Flere i sekundærmålgruppen har også gitt tilbakemeldinger om at materiellet er lett å ta i bruk og at det er tilpasset målgruppen. Oppnådde effektmål: Vi vurderer at prosjektet har bidratt til å gjøre overgangen til det norske samfunnet enklere for primærmålgruppen, uavhengig av botid. Dette ved at de viser økt forståelse for sammenhenger mellom helse og kosthold, samt bedret språkforståelse. Veien videre: Verktøy og materiell som er utarbeidet i løpet av prosjektperioden skal gjøres tilgjengelig for andre som ønsker å igangsette varige mat og helsetiltak for primærmålgruppen

%X BackgroundIt has been hypothesised that refugees have an increased risk of suicide.AimsTo investigate whether risk of suicide is higher among refugees compared with non-refugee migrants from the same areas of origin and with the Swedish-born population, and to examine whether suicide rates among migrants converge to the Swedish-born population over time.MethodA population-based cohort design using linked national registers to follow 1 457 898 people born between 1 January 1970 and 31 December 1984, classified by migrant status as refugees, non-refugee migrants or Swedish-born. Participants were followed from their 16th birthday or date of arrival in Sweden until death, emigration or 31 December 2015, whichever came first. Cox regression models estimated adjusted hazard ratios for suicide by migrant status, controlling for age, gender, region of origin and income.ResultsThere were no significant differences in suicide risk between refugee and non-refugee migrants (hazard ratio 1.28, 95% CI 0.93–1.76) and both groups had a lower risk of suicide than Swedish born. During their first 5 years in Sweden no migrants died by suicide; however, after 21–31 years their suicide risk was equivalent to the Swedish-born population (hazard ratio 0.94, 95% CI 0.79–1.22). After adjustment for income this risk was significantly lower for migrants than the Swedish-born population.ConclusionsBeing a refugee was not an additional risk factor for suicide. Our findings regarding temporal changes in suicide risk suggest that acculturation and socioeconomic deprivation may account for a convergence of suicide risk between migrants and the host population over time.Declaration of interestNone.

%X PurposeEarly identification of persons at risk is essential in suicide prevention. Undocumented migrants (UM) live under limited conditions and are to a high degree invisible, both in research and in suicide prevention programmes. The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence rates of suicidal thoughts among UM in Sweden.Design/methodology/approachThis cross-sectional study was part of the Swedish Health Research on Undocumented Migrants project (SHERUM). The study population consisted of 104 UM over 18 years of age recruited through informal networks. Data on 112 multiple choice questions was collected via trained interviewers in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö during 2014–2016. To assess suicidal thoughts (the last two weeks) one item asking about suicidal thought in the Beck Depression Inventory scale (BDI-II) was used. Logistic regression and chi-square analyses were made to identify risk and protective factors.FindingsSuicidal thoughts were found in 43.2% of the 88 UM that answered the question on suicidal thoughts. Being a parent had some protective influence on the prevalence of suicidal thoughts while the housing situation, having been exposed to crime and having mental illness were all statistically significant risk factors for suicidal thoughts. However, due to low sample size, few variables presented statistically significant differences.Originality/valueThis study presents an alarmingly high prevalence of suicidal thoughts among undocumented migrants in Sweden, a difficult-to reach, vulnerable and rarely studied group. Targeted strategies are imperative to include undocumented migrants in suicidal prevention programmes.

%X This article focuses on the El Sistema programme, which started up in Sweden in 2010 with the objective to deal with segregation problems typical for Swedish urban areas. The purpose of the article is to examine how promoting integration through music and music education is constructed within El Sistema as a way to help children growing up in multi-ethnic suburbs participate in Swedish society. The empirical material used derives from two different ethnographic research studies conducted in Gothenburg and Malmö. The results show that integration is constructed through two antagonistic discourses competing for hegemony. In the first, the idea of integration is based on a rhetoric of similarities between people playing music together, a rhetoric drawing on the modernist idea of humans as universal and alike. In the second, integration is articulated through a rhetoric of differences related to cultural affiliation.

%X This article presents the personal experiences of refugees from Bosnia-Herzegovina related to their employment in Sweden. It is based on 35 interviews conducted in 2009 with asylum claimants and resettled refugees who came to Sweden in the early 1990s, aiming at their own perceptions and subjective assessments of their employment paths. The variety of experiences within each of these two groups suggests that individual employment paths can neither be fully explained by the admission category, nor in terms of the type of education, age, or gender. Although they admit the importance of these factors, the interviewees perceive chance as a decisive issue with regard to their initial access to the labour market, and its strong impact on their further success. They see official channels of professional recognition as far less functional than informal paths leading into the labour market that depend on personal encounters and connections. Against the background of laws and policies, personally experienced employment integration is revealed as a chance-ridden individual process.

%X The purpose of this paper is to test the evidence for spatial assimilation and straight-line assimilation in the transition of leaving home in Denmark. Based on data from the extensive Danish registers, the paper analyses the home-leaving patterns of Danes, Turkish immigrants, Turkish descendants and Somali immigrants. Two main findings emerged. First, while spatial segregation patterns of home-leavers were clear, inter-generational mobility did take place, supporting the notion of straight-line assimilation. Second, inter-generational effects were identified. While there was no indication that parental socio-economic situation affected the spatial segregation of home-leavers, substantial effects were found for the share of ethnic minorities in the parental neighbourhood: the higher the share of ethnic minorities, the higher the hazard for moving to an ethnic neighbourhood and the lower the hazard for moving to a non-ethnic neighbourhood. Similarity in the patterns of natives and the ethnic minority groups indicates that the processes taking place might be about more than assimilation between generations.

Story recipiency
%X This ethnomethodological (EM) and conversation analytic (CA) study explores the responsive behaviors of two Swedish volunteers during storytelling by two migrants in a language café in Sweden. The two stories revolve around employment and language proficiency, two topics that are often raised in the café as they invoke issues that are crucial for the migrants' integration process. Language cafés are indeed sites that aim to promote the migrants' process of becoming members of a community. In this article, which contributes to EMCA research on interactions between first (L1) and second language (L2) users, we demonstrate how the L1 speaking volunteers, through embodied, stance-sharing responsive behaviors, support positive aspects of the migrants' identity as valuable individuals that can legitimately be part of and contribute to the Swedish society with their professional and linguistic skills. These findings bring to the fore how integration on the macro-level is managed at the micro-level. • L1 speakers' responsive behaviors support storytelling by L2 speaking migrants. • Interpersonal relationship work is done through the telling of trouble and success stories. • Integration work at the micro-level of interaction is done through story recipiency. • Siding with migrants' difficulties and success supports positive aspects of migrants' identity. • Opportunities for interaction in a language café are opportunities for integration.

%X A gender-equality perspective for the Metropolitan Areas project – planning and the conditions of homemakersIn the nationwide project called Storstadssatsningen (Commission on Metropolitan Areas), the idea is for local development work in the urban Million Homes suburbs, which often have a high percentage of immigrants and refugees, to be based on the inhabitants’ own wishes and desires. But far too often, women’s everyday experiences are ignored in favor of more "male" projects. The author points out the importance of looking at women’s experiences as well, and of using them in the planning of these often problem-ridden areas. If the high ambitions of the Commission on Metropolitans Areas to achieve integration are to be reality, it’s time for new thinking.

%X The aim of this study is to address integrational processes experienced by some African immigrants with refugee backgrounds and five to ten years of residence in Norway. We collected data through semi-structured interviews on issues relating to immigration and the integration experiences of eight families. Participants' reflections on the issues highlighted in the interviews made visible their challenges and opportunities upon arrival and during their first years in Norway. We use the concept of situated learning to discuss how their narratives describe movements from initial peripheral sociocultural positions towards fuller participation in different domains of society. The results show that across various domains, interactions at the personal level between individuals in the immigrant and majority population increased participation and cultural awareness.

%X Drawing on the Norwegian context of the settlement of refugee families who have been granted a residence permit after applying for asylum, this article looks at how the incorporation of children's rights into domestic immigration policies appears to offer asylum-seeking children a better entry as 'active citizens' than is offered to their parents in the early stages of asylum. Later on during the asylum process, once families obtain a residence permit along with the right to settle, the focus of welfare policies shifts toward the emancipation of adults' integration as active new citizens. The article explores the reasons for that shift and identifies how the special status of refugee children seems to go off at a tangent when their whole family officially settles in the country. This transitional process highlights the duality between the state's recognition of the responsibility of parents, and the recognition of the rights of children as individuals.

%X This paper sets out to provide an analysis of refugee integration policies in Sweden and Norway, by means of comparative analysis. There is a particular focus on the ideological foundations of the Swedish and Norwegian refugee integration policies, and the main programmes drawn on by the countries' authorities in order to integrate refugees. Further, the focus is widened to identify and analyse the changes, disparities and ambiguities in the Swedish and Norwegian refugee integration policies. The paper also seeks to examine how their experience can help in understanding the limitations of extensive state assisted integration measures. It is maintained here that these Scandinavian countries have developed extensive state sponsored integration programmes of a magnitude which is unique in a European context and elsewhere, and that housing and employment assistance are the two major pillars in both Swedish and Norwegian refugee integration policies. The findings suggest that Sweden and Norway have undergone similar experiences in respect of the challenges and long term outcomes of refugee integration policy-making. Although based on the principle of a strong welfare state, which provides extensive resettlement and integration assistance to refugees, refugee integration policies in Sweden and Norway have not succeeded in equalizing the initial inequalities between refugees and the rest of the population. © The Author 2010.

%X During recent years, there has been a growing focus within sports research on ethnic minorities and their involvement in sports. In UK, studies show that Muslim organisations offering sports activities to their members are a common phenomenon. The establishment of sports clubs by minority groups has been met with scepticism from governmental bodies because it is perceived as a ‘segregated’ activity that does not contribute to integration. However, in Norway, no research has been conducted on the output of these establishments, something this paper hopes to redress in part. The paper reports on a research project which aimed to examine the role of Muslim organisations in Norway in the development of social capital and integration through sport. The theoretical approach to the study of integration has Putnam’s concept and understanding of social capital as point of departure. The study is based on interviews with representatives of seven Muslim organisations (mosques) in Oslo as well as participant observation at two arrangements. The sports activities offered by the mosques are first and foremost used by the mosques as a tool to recruit and gather Muslim youth. The study reveals the integration aspect of the work conducted by the Muslim organisations. It is argued that the Muslim organisations’ idea of supporting youth to become ‘Norwegian Muslim’ is built on an ‘anti-racism multiculturalism’ discourse which rejects assimilation. A key aspect of this discourse is that minorities turn a negative difference ascribed by the majority into a positive identity to be proud of. As such, the work emphasises the possibility of being both Muslim and well-integrated into Norwegian society. Hence, the article argues for an integration perspective that recognises the integration work being carried out by minority organisations, even though this work, in terms of social networks, has more of a bonding character.

%X This article investigates the relevance of spatial assimilation theory in Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, and Stockholm. An important backdrop is the “Nordic model of welfare”: We assume that welfare generosity decreases the speed of spatial integration. The study uses non-Western immigrants as a target group and natives as a reference group. We register location in 2000 and 2008, and analyze integration in terms of neighborhood status and residential segregation. The results show, in all cities, a lack of aggregate upward mobility in the spatial hierarchy. We also find a negligible effect of upward earnings mobility on upward spatial mobility. Upward spatial mobility increases integration in ethnic terms, but other factors work in the opposite direction and contribute to prevailing segregation. The results as a whole strengthen the purported association between welfare state characteristics and spatial integration. Deviant outcomes, particularly in Helsinki, are explained by immigration history and housing market structure.

%X In most European countries ethnic minorities have had a tendency to settle in certain parts of cities - and often in social housing - together with other immigrants in so-called multi-ethnic neighbourhoods. An explanation for this could be low income combined with lack of knowledge of the housing market and discrimination, which limits the housing possibilities for ethnic minorities. Another explanation could be that for different reasons immigrants choose to settle in so-called ethnic enclaves where they can find an ethnic social network, which can support them in their new country. In traditional research literature about immigration it has been shown that for many immigrants living in enclaves has been a temporary situation. The 'spatial assimilation theory' says that this situation ends when the family has become more integrated in the new society and then moves to another part of the city. This paper provides evidence to support both explanations of why ethnic minorities move to and from multi-ethnic neighbourhoods. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

%X ABSTRACT Studies testing 'spatial assimilation' are no longer restricted to traditional suburbanisation movements correlated with high education, income, and exposure to the 'majority' population. Instead, greater emphasis is now being placed on other 'cultural' and 'social' aspects associated with assimilation and different patterns of movements. Although these ideas have remained dominant in North America, fewer studies have tested their applicability in European contexts. This paper addresses this by examining the spatial mobility of Iranian and Iraqi immigrants from segregated areas within Stockholm County, Sweden. By using register data for individuals for the years 2001 and 2007, we reveal through binary logistic regressions how significant differences emerge between those who move and those who stay, particularly for human capital (education) prior to movement and social capital (having a 'Swedish' partner) after movement. This raises important questions for future research dealing with issues of integration, segregation, and mobility. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

%M rayyan-291842757
%X Across Europe, the refugee crisis of 2015 and 2016 triggered debates about the openness of societies as well as the nature and flexibility of the collective national identity. The Finnish Åland Islands and the Italian province of South Tyrol enjoy an extensive degree of autonomy within otherwise unitary states, and have developed far-reaching legal and other formal mechanisms for the protection of minorities. The respective statutes of autonomy guarantee the existence and use of Swedish and German, respectively, and thus protect the status of their bearers in relation to the majority population. We argue that the process of gaining and sustaining autonomy has, in turn, created a strong institutional basis for the formation of the collective identity. As a result, the Ålandic and South Tyrolean societies have been flexible and effective in their approach to the integration of migrants as new minority groups. At the same time, neither immigration in general nor the recent wave of refugees has had a pronounced impact on existing concepts of identity, let alone resulted in a change to the way identities are constructed in socio-political terms. © 2020 The Authors.

%X Social capital is about people who meet, get to know each other and help each other in various ways. Therefore, it appears odd that discussions on meeting places and social capital are rare. This paper discusses the linkage, here termed socio-spatial planning. It raises the question: How can public meeting places facilitate creation of bridging social capital? It suggests that one possible way of securing regular, intergroup face-to-face meetings would be to establish multifunctional centers. Such houses include public services such as health care, school, library; private enterprises as grocers' shops and banks; and facilities for local associations such as theatre scenes and sports halls. Cases from the Netherlands and Denmark indicate that such large meeting places help counteract segregation of various groups - be it ethnic, social or age. In this way, a well-functioning multifunctional center facilitates provision of the collective goods of integration and bridging social capital.

%! Socialtjänstens respons på "flyktingkrisen" : Mottagandet av ensamkommande barn
%@ 1104-1420 2003-5624
%X Syftet med artikeln är att analysera organisering av och synen på mottagandet av ensamkommande barn inom socialtjänsten våren 2016 – en tidpunkt då antalet asylsökande ensamkommande barn nyligen nått en extrem omfattning under kort tid. Artikeln baseras på en totalundersökning (enkät) av socialtjänstens resurser, organisering och insatser i arbetet med ensamkommande barn och ungdomar. Resultatet visar att trots en statlig ambition om normalisering och integrering av mottagandet i den sociala barnavården, har en tydlig respons från socialtjänsten varit att specialisera verksamheten utifrån den ökande klientgruppen. Den här studien ger inget belägg för att specialiseringen lett till bättre kvalitet, tvärtom indikeras ett positivt samband mellan kvalitet och en integrerad organisation. Främst tyder studien på att resurser, övergripande samverkan och engagerade politiker har varit viktigt för hur man inom socialtjänsten uppfattar möjligheten att anpassa stödinsatser efter behov och att följa upp insatser. Noterbart med tanke på tidpunkten för studien är att  en majoritet av respondenterna (företrädesvis chefer inom socialtjänstens verksamhet för ensamkommande barn) var förhållandevis nöjda med det stöd som erbjöds till ensamkommande barn/ungdomar, dock påtalades brister i möjlighet att följa upp och tillgång till insatser som matchar målgruppens behov.

%X The globalisation of international migration is challenging social work practice in general and elder care in particular all across Europe. This article gives insight into social work practice with elderly people in Sweden by focusing on older migrants and their families. The article addresses the changes that Swedish elder care has undergone through the past few decades and how elder care is organised. The cases of two migrant families who care for their elderly relatives are described also in an attempt to draw attention to some of the specific challenges that social work practice with older migrants and their families can pose. The article argues that social work practice with these specific populations needs to become aware of the implications that understandings of ethnic 'Otherness' have for how elder care is planned and provided. Moreover, it is argued that the globalisation of international migration we are witnessing across Europe and the ethnic diversity in older populations that it brings about demand that social work is delivered in a more generationally aware way. Aiming to solely increase the social integration of older migrants can end up jeopardizing the social and economic integration of their families. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

%X This article presents a study, which explored social work with immigrants and refugees in Finland. While numerically large groups, which have settled over long periods of time, have gradually become well-established communities, those groups that have arrived more recently still face the multiple tasks of resettlement. A growing arena of contemporary social work and the organized social service system, is that of immigrant and refugee resettlement and integration. Considering the central significance of employment in settlement and integration, social work faces pressure to relate to unemployment not only in the areas of benefit and social service delivery. Labor market exclusion, for resettling persons, implies social as well economic vulnerability. Social status is derived invariably from one's occupational status. Welfare dependence is a disempowering state, which is hard to justify, and a category that is not accepted in the eyes of the receiving society. The capacity for self-determination is lessened. Unemployment is also dysfunctional from the perspective of community and ethnic relations.

%X Although there are exceptions, refugees from protracted refugee situations generally experience an overall slower integration process into the new country than other refugees and immigrants. Often the circumstances in the refugee camps, including lacking education and social networks, are used to explain this. This article looks at the post-resettlement integration process of Burmese Karen refugees in Sweden through a capital approach. Consequently, the analysis is concerned with the accumulation of resources—such as social networks—both in the pre- and post-resettlement contexts. Mobility is acknowledged as a decisive factor in this process and, as such, mobility practices from both before and after resettlement are highlighted to better understand the refugees' social, cultural and economic embeddedness. As this article argues, social and cultural capital acquired before resettlement is of crucial importance to create social networks after resettlement and hence to the overall integration process in Sweden.

By employing membership categorization analysis (Sacks 1992), the extracts show how volunteers seek commonalities with the asylum seekers/refugees. This occurs when a particular membership category difference among participants is brought up in the course of an interaction. The findings suggest that despite seemingly meaningful exchanges, the inherent transience of these encounters could make social integration challenging to achieve.

%X Background: The increasing mental health inequalities between native- and foreign-born persons in Sweden is an important public health issue. Improving social integration has been stressed as a key strategy to combat this development. While a vast amount of studies have confirmed the importance of social integration for good mental health, less is known about the role of different types of social integration, and how they relate to mental health inequalities. This study aimed to examine the extent to which indicators of social integration explained mental health inequalities between the native- and foreign-born. Methods: Based on the Health on Equal Terms survey from 2011/2015 in Västra Götaland, Sweden (n = 71,643), a non-linear Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition analysis was performed comparing native- and foreign-born individuals from Nordic-, European- and non-European countries. The General Health Questionnaire was used to assess psychological distress, while 11 items assessed employment conditions and economic disparities, social relations, and experiences of discrimination to measure different aspects of social integration. Results: Differences in social integration explained large proportions of observed mental health differences between the native- and foreign-born. Important indicators included low levels of social activity (20%), trust in others (17%) and social support (16%), but also labour market disadvantages, such as being outside the labour market (15%), unemployment (10%) and experiencing financial strain (16%). In analyses stratified by region of origin, low trust in others and discrimination contributed to the mental health gap between the native-born and European-born (17 and 9%, respectively), and the native-born and non-European-born (19 and 10%, respectively). Precarious labour market position was a particularly important factor in the mental health gap between the native-born and Nordic-origin (22%), and non-European origin (36%) populations. Conclusion: Social integration factors play a central role in explaining the mental health inequality between natives and migrants in Sweden. Our findings suggest that public health actions targeting mental health gaps could benefit from focusing on inequalities in social and economic recourses between natives and migrants in Sweden. Areas of priority include improving migrants' financial strain, as well as increasing trust in others and social support and opportunities for civic engagement. © 2019 The Author(s).

%X Diskussioner om indvandrere og især indvandrerunge synes ofte fanget i særlige forsknings- og forståelsesparadigmer, som enten handler om social integration eller om kulturidentitet. Og især ser det ud til, at blandingen af disse perspektiver giver grobund for både »politisk korrekte og politisk ukorrekte« indvandrerdiskussioner. I denne artikel sættes der fokus på at overskride denne uhensigtsmæssige perspektivforvirring ved at pege på de to paradigmers begrænsninger i forhold til at forstå modernitet og udvikling, og især de unges situation. For de unge handler spørgsmålet måske ikke om kultur eller integration, om at blive muslim eller dansk. Det handler om individualisering.

%X This paper addresses the social exclusion risks of Russian-speaking and Estonian immigrants to Finland. The third research group consisted of ethnic Finns from Estonia and the Russian Federation. Our research sample consisted of 2,360 respondents; the response rate was 64 per cent. Based on a living conditions approach, the study took into account the potential influence of discrimination. We understood social exclusion multi-dimensionally as an accumulation of various risks, studied on three levels: labour market status, subsistence and health. Risks were defined as unemployment, subjective poverty, and poor self-rated health. Immigrants with at least two of these three risks were considered at risk of social exclusion. Our main hypothesis was ethnically based: the situation of the Russian-speakers would be worse than that of Estonians; no hypotheses were set concerning the situation of ethnic Finns. Social exclusion risks accumulated for a small minority: they were over three times more common among Russian-speakers (20 per cent) than among Estonians (6 per cent), with ethnic Finns at 17 per cent. Finnish ethnicity as such—independent of language skills—does not seem to give a special advantage. Labour market and poverty risks go hand-in-hand, the latter more common. The results indicate a health-based selection of Russian-speaking and Estonian male immigrants to Finland. Discrimination was linked to the risks of social exclusion. We note in conclusion the importance of policies for social inclusion and anti-discrimination.

%X Increasing immigration and school ethnic segregation have raised concerns about the social integration of minority students. We examined the role of immigrant status in social exclusion and the moderating effect of classroom immigrant density among Swedish 14-15-year olds ( n = 4795, 51 % females), extending conventional models of exclusion by studying multiple outcomes: victimization, isolation, and rejection. Students with immigrant backgrounds were rejected more than majority youth and first generation non-European immigrants were more isolated. Immigrants generally experienced more social exclusion in immigrant sparse than immigrant dense classrooms, and victimization increased with higher immigrant density for majority youth. The findings demonstrate that, in addition to victimization, subtle forms of exclusion may impede the social integration of immigrant youth but that time in the host country alleviates some risks for exclusion.

%X Danish society used to have a very homogenous culture; everybody was Lutheran and there were only very small groups of ethnic minorities. However, since the 1960s the immigration of foreign workers and refugees has created substantial minority groups of people who are very different ethnically, religiously and linguistically. Becoming a multicultural country may be particularly problematic for such a formerly homogeneous society; formal and informal rules for the co-existence of different ethnic and religious segments of the society have until now not been necessary.

%X Immigration radically challenges certain forms of European national and welfare states. It seems that the model of welfare state, which is most radically challenged by the immigration, is the Nordic model. Nordic countries perform well with regard to many aspects of social capital, such as level of trust and the density of members hip in voluntary associations. However, the strong social capital of Nordic welfare seems to be exclusionary, where immigrants' integration—and especially labour market integration—is concerned. Therefore it is a challenge for the cohesion of the Nordic societies and for the future of the Nordic welfare model to reduce the negative effects of the strong social capital without harming its positive effects. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] L'immigration met rudement à l'épreuve certaines formes européennes de l'Etat providence et de l'Etat nation. Le modèle de l'Etat providence le plus éprouvé par l'immigration semble être le modèle nordique. Les pays nordiques se placent bien quant à plusieurs aspects du capital social dont le niveau de confiance et l' adhésion aux associations volontaires. Toutefois, la grande capacité en capital social du système d'assistance sociale nordique semble être caractérisée par des pratiques limitatives en ce qui concerne l'intégration des immigrants — surtout l'intégration au marché du travail. La cohesion des sociétés nordiques et l'avenir du modèle nordique de l'Etat providence affrontent la difficulté de réduire les effets négatifs du capital social sans pour autant porter atteinte à ses aspects positifs.

%X Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the issue of social assistance receipt among immigrants to Sweden and compare to receipt by natives. Design/methodology/approach – The paper describes the institutional background, reports statistical information and surveys the literature on the immigrant-native disparity in social assistance receipt. Findings – Most out-payment for social assistance in Sweden refers to foreign-born persons, a category comprising 14 percent of the population. Immigrants tend to assimilate out of social assistance receipt. However, receipt continues to be higher many years after immigration among immigrants from non-rich countries than for natives with several identical characteristics. The elevated probabilities of social assistance receipt among immigrants from non-rich countries are interpreted to be mainly due to failed integration into the labor market at the destination. Practical implications – Policies for integrating immigrants into the labor market are also policies for reducing social assistance receipt among immigrants and reducing immigrant-native social assistance disparity. However, other factors such as the structure of Swedish welfare policy play a role as well. Originality/value – This is the first survey of the literature on disparities in social assistance receipt between immigrants and natives in Sweden.

%X Objective Unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs), are at high risk for mental health problems, yet there is a lack of knowledge about social anxiety among these youths. The aim of this study was to investigate symptoms of social anxiety among URMs resettled in Norway, and the combined effects of pre-migration traumatic events, post-migration acculturation related factors (perceived discrimination and culture competence in relation both to the heritage and majority cultures) and demographic background variables, over and above the effect of concurrent depressive symptoms. Methods Cross-sectional self-report questionnaire data were collected from 557 URMs from 31 different countries, mainly from Afghanistan (49,6%), Somalia (11,1%), and Iraq (7,0%). Results: The findings from structural equation model (SEM) showed that the effect of pre-migration traumatic events on social anxiety was non-significant (β = 0.001, p = .09), while perceived discrimination and majority culture competence had unique effects on social anxiety (β = 0.39, p < .001 and β = −0.12, p = .008, respectively) over and above depressive symptoms (β = 0.30, p < .001). Conclusions The findings show that factors of the current socio-cultural developmental context rather than pre-migration war-related traumatic events the youths experienced before migration accounts for variation in social anxiety. Potential practical implications of the findings for social workers, educational staff and clinicians are discussed.

%X I denne rapporten gir vi en oversikt over eksisterende forskningsbasert kunnskap fra Norge og andre nordiske land om sivilsamfunn og integrering. Oversikten er utarbeidet med utgangspunkt i publikasjoner fra Senter for forskning på sivilsamfunn og frivillig sektor og andre publikasjoner fra tilknyttede forskere. Videre har vi gjort nettsøk og søk i norske tidsskriftdatabaser på stikkord knyttet til innvandring, frivillighet, sosialt entreprenørskap og mentorordninger. Basert på denne litteraturgjennomgangen gjør vi rede for hva eksisterende forskning peker på som hovedutfordringer for sivilsamfunnet på integreringsfeltet, og hvilke tiltak som blir foreslått for å imøtekomme disse utfordringene. Vi identifiserer kunnskapshull i den eksisterende litteraturen på feltet og kommer med innspill til videre studier som kan fylle disse hullene.

%X What can we learn from and with the body in order to understand more about the (lived) experiences of newly arrived students in schools? This question has hitherto been given little attention in relation to the field of migration and education. Using the perspective of Ahmed's critical feminist phenomenology, this article aims to explore the embodied experiences of the different contexts that newly arrived students encounter in a rural monolingual school in Sweden. The empirical data are based on participant observation conducted in introductory and mainstream classrooms, as well as interviews undertaken with newly arrived students during a year of fieldwork. The findings of our study show how close attention to newly arrived students' embodied experiences can help to dispel prevailing myths surrounding inclusion, bringing to light thereby how the current lived conditions of inclusion in fact carry with them lines of exclusion.

%X This article considers the dual role of immigrants' social networks in occupational attainment in the Finnish labour market. Drawing on the empirical observations gained from investigating the entire occupational careers of 40 immigrants, it argues that while ethnically dominated networks act as a crucial resource-opportunity structure to help get immigrants a foothold in the local economy and society, at the same time, they can also operate as constraining factors by confining them to low-prestige occupations in which the chances for occupational mobility are rather restricted. Overall, the article aims to suggest that although deficiency in locally gained human capital creates obstacles to better labour-market integration, the kinds of social networks in which immigrants are embedded can also significantly contribute to their low occupational attainment in their new country.

%X Over the past 20 years, integration duties imposed on third-country nationals have spread and become more rigid in EU Member States. They increasingly restrict the conditions for obtaining residence permits as well as the benefit of social rights. These integration conditions take on singular forms and raise particular issues in relation to the Association Agreement concluded between the European Union and Turkey, in particular with regard to so-called 'standstill clauses'. The present article begins from the A v. Udlændinge-og Integrationsministeriet case and criticises the Court's silence about the elephant in the room on the issue of integration conditions towards third-country nationals: racial and/or ethnic discrimination. The case is about an integration condition imposed by the Danish Government as a prerequisite for a 'family reunion' residence permit for the spouse of a Turkish worker: the spouses must prove that they have a stronger link with Denmark than with Turkey. The solution adopted by the Court of Justice in striking down this integration condition is not surprising. However, its reasoning suggests more tolerance – or even laxity – about the way the concept of integration is used by the Member States. This situation is problematic insofar as these integration conditions, the very principle of which is questionable per se, conceal increasingly discriminatory and exclusionary measures which the Court is reluctant to denounce, as opposed to the European Court of Human Rights.

%X The study presented in this paper focuses upon conceptualisations of language and identity in the institutionalised arena that emerged in the post-Second World War period with the specific intention of teaching Swedish to adult immigrants in the nation-state of Sweden. Our analysis focuses upon the development of the educational programme ‘Swedish for immigrants’ over time. Our specific interest relates to how categorisations are framed and what, if any, kinds of labels – pertaining to language and identity – emerge in national and local policy documents from the 1960s onwards. Taking a sociohistorical perspective as a point of departure, our analyses indicate discursive changes with regards to the categories and aims of the educational programme, making certain identity positions more accessible than others at specific times. Focusing upon categories from sociohistorical perspectives helps to reveal the social organisation and institutional means that enable society to process citizenship issues. The complex relationship between the empowerment of the immigrants, on the one hand, and the need for integration or assimilation into society on the other, becomes visible through the analysis of empirical data that spans half a century.

%X Education has continuously been regarded as a vital tool in Norwegian policymakers' immigrant integration agendas. This study analyzes semantic structures substantiating the policy language of historical Norwegian immigrant education policies from their inception in 1973 until today (2013). The analysis is framed by Kronenfeld's linguistic anthropological theory “semantic extensionism”. Four distinct semantic models are identified through the historical period. Each model comprises specific overall policy programs, education system characters, teaching methods, and parameters for equality output evaluations. We show how the core semantic structures of each model, and the changes between them, derive from three interacting factor domains: (1) semantic inclusion and contrast relations, (2) pragmatic characteristics of practice fields, and (3) broader welfare state policy histories.

%X BACKGROUND:: It is essential to account for acculturation in any research conducted in multicultural populations. Both unidimensional and bidimensional approaches are used to measure the extent of acculturation; however, neither one of them is optimal.OBJECTIVE:: To explore the immigrants' rating of the extent of their acculturation (self-reported integration) in contrast to an external (researchers') measurement.METHODS:: Fifteen in-depth interviews with strategically sampled Russian-speaking men and women aged 25-70 years, with varying marital and employment status and living permanently in Stockholm, Sweden, were analyzed using a content analysis technique. The results were validated by means of a series of additional mini-interviews by telephone.RESULTS:: The immigrants' self-reported integration corresponded with the researchers' bidimensional measurement of the extent of acculturation of these immigrants. Self-reported integration accounted for the mastering of the formal criteria of integration, resolving of grief concerning the homeland, and fulfilling the internal criteria of integration.DISCUSSION:: Self-reported integration may be used as a proxy for acculturation but its application should be tested primarily in other settings and in a quantitative analysis.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
%X This article focuses on self-employment of non-privileged groups as integration strategy. Ethnic entrepreneurship is perhaps the current phenomenon that most closely reflects the contrasting light and dark sides of the globalized world. Self-employment, tourism and global migration appear to have more points of contact than one would at first think. Analyzing ethnic entrepreneurship in the context of the economy of the global city; the scholar Roger Waldinger argues that the post-industrial labor market simultaneously generates high-level professional and managerial jobs and a proliferation of low-skilled, low-income service jobs. This means that the polarized metropolis leaves minorities far from useless; instead they serve as the new drawers of water and hewers of wood. Globalization is, in a cultural as well as an economic sense, a key term for understanding today's strongly increasing movement in population. In the European context, it has to do with various kinds of immigration and the meaning this has had for Sweden and other economically developed countries in Europe, but also with crisis areas in the other Europe.

Emigrants and Immigrants
%X Many immigrants try to gain positive recognition in their everyday lives through the active and selective rearrangement of social relations with members of the host community and their own ethnic groups. Amongst other things, their selectivity with respect to who they want to be associated with are expressed through their ethno-social preferences, as well as through the kinds of ties and the sociable intensity they have with their Norwegian and compatriot friends and acquaintances. In this article, I argue that there are tensions and dilemmas connected to these friendships. These tensions can be partly illuminated if we distinguish between the interactional aspects of the ties and the symbolic values that immigrants attach to these ties. The main argument is that for many immigrants, the weak tie attachment to Norwegians seems to be the preferable path of social integration into the mainstream society. Given the focus on immigrants' voices, the data was gathered through qualitative interviews. Other methods of gathering empirical data, such as from observations, are also used. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.

%M rayyan-298338115
%K Arbeidsforhold
Innvandrere
%X At personer med innvandrerbakgrunn deltar i yrkeslivet anses som en viktig faktor for at de skal bli mest mulig integrert i samfunnet. Likevel kan en skjev sammensetning av sysselsatte med innvandrerbakgrunn på arbeidsplassene dempe integreringen til tross for at de er i arbeid. I rapporten analyseres graden av homogenitet og heterogenitet i sammensetningen av arbeidskraft med innvandrerbakgrunn på arbeidsplassene, og hvordan denne sammensetningen har utviklet seg over tid. Dissimilaritets-indeksen (D-indeksen), og til dels Gini-koeffisienten, brukes for å undersøke segregeringen på arbeidsplassene blant sysselsatte med innvandrerbakgrunn i perioden 2005-2015. D-indeksen måler jevnheten i fordelingen til sysselsettingen av innvandrere og etterkommere av innvandrere sett i forhold til den øvrige sysselsettingen, gitt ulike inndelinger av arbeidsplassene. I utgangspunktet inngår alle arbeidsplasser i landet, definert som alle virksomheter med kjent organisasjonsnummer i statistikkgrunnlaget, men videre avgrenset til å omfatte virksomheter som har sysselsatte både med og uten innvandrerbakgrunn. Videre er analysene konsentrert om virksomheter som har eksistert sammenhengende i den perioden analysene omfatter. Resultatene viser en moderat nedgang i segregeringen på arbeidsplassene når man legger til grunn for analysene totalt antall virksomheter og alle gjennomgående eksisterende virksomheter i perioden. Dette har sammenheng med at til tross for en økning av virksomheter som kun har sysselsatte med innvandrerbakgrunn, er nedgangen i antall virksomheter som kun har sysselsatte uten innvandrerbakgrunn enda større, slik at antall virksomheter som har sysselsatte både med og uten innvandrerbakgrunn har økt mest. Når analysene konsentreres til kun arbeidsplasser der det finnes sysselsatte både med og uten innvandrerbakgrunn, har segregeringen på arbeidsplassene derimot økt gjennom analyseperioden. Det er en fallende segregering med virksomhetsstørrelse når alle virksomheter er med i analysen, men en økende tendens til segregering med virksomhetsstørrelse for arbeidsplasser som har sysselsatte både med og uten innvandrerbakgrunn. For de siste viser resultatene en økt segregering for alle virksomhetsstørrelser gjennom perioden. Målt etter næring, finner man høyest segregering på arbeidsplassene i primærnæringene, forretningsmessig tjenesteyting, overnattings- og serveringsvirksomhet, bygge- og anleggsvirksomhet og transport og lagring, mens helse- og sosialtjenester, offentlig administrasjon og finansiering og forsikring viser lavere nivåer på segregering. Forretningsmessig tjenesteyting og bygge- og anleggsvirksomhet skiller seg ut med størst økning i segregering gjennom analyseperioden, med økende segregering i retning sysselsatte med innvandrerbakgrunn. På den annen side viser helse- og sosialtjenester nedgang i segregering, med en tendens til fallende segregering i retning sysselsatte med innvandrerbakgrunn. Segregeringen på arbeidsplassene er høyere blant sysselsatte født i Norge av innvandrerforeldre enn blant innvandrere, men segregeringen faller mer i den første gruppen i løpet av analyseperioden. Det er innvandrere med bakgrunn fra landgruppe 2, det vil si EU-land i Øst-Europa, som viser høyest segregering og størst økning i segregering på arbeidsplassene, mens de med bakgrunn fra landgruppe 3 (land i Øst-Europa som ikke er EU-medlemmer, Asia, Afrika, Latin-Amerika og Oceania utenom Australia og New Zealand) har en moderat fallende segregering, og spesielt blant de fra tidlige innvandringsland.

%X In this paper, we try to examine the classical sociological points of special education, especially the organizational form of special education, social background of students and the minority status of students. The material of the study was collected mostly during 2003 from one large city in Finland. This city has more than a 100‐year‐long tradition of organizing special education, and it is also still organized very traditionally, that is mainly in special schools. The oldest functioning special education school was founded in 1901. This form of organization based on special schools is no longer typical in Finland. Over 1000 questionnaires were sent to special education school teachers, and students and their parents, as well as to special needs assistants. The percentage of returned responses was between 70% and 80%. Local material is practically the only way to get information of these critical points because of the Act on the Protection of Privacy and the administrative orientation of state statistics. The results show that boys are strongly over‐represented in special education. Over three out of four of the students in classroom‐based special education are boys. According to our comparison, the children from immigrant families account for less than one out of ten students in general education, but in classroom‐based special education they represent nearly 14%, and in part‐time special education as much as one‐quarter (25%). The form of education differs also in regard to the social class of the parents. The parents have been divided into upper, middle and lower social classes according to their occupation. The proportion of upper‐class parents of the student group in general education (42%) is doubled when compared to the parents of both special education groups. The majority of the parents of severe disabled students support the idea of special education schools, but the majority of the parents from the other special education groups are in favour of education in the nearest school.

%X Migration is a prominent topic in many European societies, spawning numerous initiatives aiming to help 'integrate' newcomers. One subsection of these initiatives in Nordic countries is 'Nature-Based Integration' (NBI). Varied in scope, NBI involve activities where newcomers engage in activities in local natural environments. This article analyses NBI in Örebro County, central Sweden. It utilises the Mary Douglas derived theory of socio-cultural viability (cultural theory) in order to examine the group dynamics and related narratives found within observed activities. Utilising cultural theory's fourfold typology of social solidarities, the NBI observed were characterised as a combination of egalitarianism and hierarchy, with the other two, individualism and fatalism, considerably less prominent. This has consequences for the relevance of NBI to newcomers' lives – the initiatives' 'success' as far as participants are concerned will relate to whether NBI compliment or conflict with institutional narratives in the other, much larger, parts of their lives. The collected data suggest that narratives of individualism are arguably not as prominent in NBI as in the lives of newcomers and Swedes using nature. This article thus represents a first step in understanding NBI's impact in the complex situations newcomers find themselves. © 2020 by the author.

%X During the last 20-30 years Western societies have witnessed large scale migration from the Global South. This has given rise to important challenges in securing the social, civic and political integration of non-Western immigrants into Western societies. Previous research has suggested that participation in volunteering in civil society can serve as a 'stepping stone' towards integration for immigrants. Whilst the previous studies have shown marked gaps in the propensity to participate in volunteering between immigrants and natives, little work has been done to identify the mechanisms that explain these gaps. In this study, high-quality survey data, linked with data from administrative registers, are used, with the application of logistic regression based on the Karlson-Holm-Breen method to conduct mediation analysis. The mediation analysis shows that non-Western immigrants are significantly less likely to participate in secular volunteering compared to natives; however, over half of this gap is explained by an indirect effect via socio-economic status, self-rated health, generalized trust, informal social networks and the intergenerational transmission of volunteering. Moreover, the mediation analysis suggests that non-Western immigrants are more likely to participate in religious volunteering: this is completely explained by a strong indirect effect occurring via religiosity.

%X Purpose - This study seeks to capture the lived experiences of five refugees making the transition from Viet Nam to Sweden. It seeks to focus on the problems of integration in Swedish society. Design/methodology/approach - The research took a narrative approach by asking questions about the ways in which refugees make sense of the multiple and sometimes dramatic changes that exile involves. The interpretation procedure was performed in three recurring phases: naïve reading, thematic structural analysis and comprehensive understanding. Findings - In the structural analyses, three sub-themes were abstracted: in the hands of authorities/forced to leave home; regarded as uneducated and untrained; and lack of balance. These sub-themes show a situation that could be interpreted by the concept of sense of coherence (SOC). The comprehensive understanding shows that the prerequisites for a stable SOC are unsatisfactory. Practical implications - The study reported here implies that there is a need for changes in integration policy. In an integrated society, individuals should be met with a policy that aims to empower and takes into consideration the lived experiences and different components that work together to create an SOC. Originality/value - The contribution from this research is the combination of qualitative data, the theory about SOC, and the description of the edifice of SOC. This combination helps to understand and explain the essence of the respondents' lived experiences.

%X Mainstream scholarly approaches to improving equity in education, including culturally responsive education, promote multicultural recognition of diversity and abandon color-blindness as an ineffective strategy. The social psychological literature affords a more nuanced understanding of the merits of different diversity ideologies. However, these research strands rarely address religion. It is vital to study the actualization and influences of different diversity ideologies with respect to different forms of diversity and different contexts. This study analyzes Finnish and Swedish principals' diversity ideologies in fostering Muslim inclusion. The principals rely mainly on color-blind ideology, but assimilation into the secular normativity of the school is also commonly pursued. Multicultural ideology commonly applies to linguistic diversity, while Islam is excluded from the multiculturalist discourse. Reflexivity regarding the complex dynamics of recognizing individual vs. group identities in education as well as understanding of the implications of religion-blindness is called for.

%X In the context of the contemporary wave of migration from Poland to Norway and the growing interest in research on child migrants, this article focuses on children's experiences, their opinions, and the practices by which Polish migrant children growing up in Norway engage in school life in their receiving country. School integration is examined through 32 semi-structured interviews with the children aged 6 to 13, born in Poland and living permanently in Norway. In this article, migrant children are treated as experts on their school integration. Such an approach will help us to better understand their needs, and thus to develop an appropriate educational policy in Norway based on migrant children's experiences and their opinions about their school life. The aim of this article’s is to fill the knowledge gap pertaining to the integration of Polish children in Norway, seen from the missing perspective of the children themselves. The argumentation is based on the assumption that Polish children in Norway are “temporarily visible”. When a migrant child does not manage to adapt to the school environment, regardless of the support he or she receives from school, family and peers, then the costs of inclusion and integration increase and the difficulties multiply. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] W kontekście współczesnej fali emigracji z Polski do Norwegii oaz rosnącego zainteresowania badaniami z dziećmi migrantami, artykuł skupia się na doświadczeniach, opiniach i praktykach, przez które polskie dzieci dorastające w Norwegii włączają się w życie szkolne w tym kraju przyjmującym. Analiza integracji szkolnej opiera się na 30 pół-ustrukturyzowanych wywiadach z dziećmi w wieku 6 do 13 lat, urodzonymi w Polsce i mieszkającymi na stałe w Norwegii. Dzieci migrantów będę traktować jako ekspertów w dziedzinie swojej integracji szkolnej. Taka perspektywa przyczyni się do lepszego zrozumienia ich potrzeb, a tym samym do tworzenia adekwatnej polityki edukacyjnej w Norwegii, bazującej na doświadczeniach i opiniach dzieci migrantów na temat ich życia szkolnego. Celem artykułu jest uzupełnienie niedostatku wiedzy na temat integracji szkolnej polskich dzieci w Norwegii z punktu widzenia dzieci. Wiodącą tezą artykułu jest tweirdzenie, że dzieci polskich imigrantów są „tymczasowo widoczne” w norweskiej szkole. Jeśli dziecko migrant nie podejmie wysiłków, aby przystosować się do środowiska szkolnego, bez względu na wsparcie które otrzymuje od szkoły, rodziny oraz rówieśników, to wraz z upływem czasu koszty integracji wzrosną i stanie się ona trudniejsza.

%X Since the late 1990s, a wide range of so-called new civic integration policies aimed at civilizing or disciplining newcomers have been introduced. Consequently, migration scholars have discussed whether a converging restrictive ‘civic turn’ has taken place in Western Europe or whether national models have been resilient: Based on an in-depth historical and comparative analysis of labour market activation policies targeting newly arrived immigrants in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark since the early 1990s, the article contributes to the overall question: To what extent do the institutional pathways of the Scandinavian welfare states prevail when confronted with newcomers? Activation policies targeting newly arrived immigrants exemplifies how the ambition of states to promote functional, individual autonomy is also an important, ongoing process in diverse policy areas of the welfare state and not restricted to early integration instruments. While the Scandinavian welfare states differ on a number of counts with respect to immigration control, national integration philosophies and citizenship policies, the article outlines how activation policies aimed at newly arrived immigrants share several features. One of the key factors in this turn involves path dependency from, among others, a lengthy tradition for strong state involvement and norms about employment. Another factor in this turn involves transnational policy learning. On some points, national versions of these policies are also found due to country-specific citizenship traditions, integration philosophies and party political constellations. © 2017, The Author(s).

%X Background: Problems with social networks and social support are known to be associated with mental ill-health in refugees. Social support after migration promotes resilience. Aim: To study how Iraqi refugees who arrived in Sweden after the year 2000 perceived their social networks and social support, and to relate the observed network characteristics and changes to the refugees’ mental health and well-being. Method: Semi-structured interviews with 31 refugees, including questions on background and migration experiences, a biographical network map, and three health assessment scales. The findings were analysed with descriptive statistics and content thematic analysis. Results: The respondents’ networks were diminished. Social support was continued to be provided mainly by family members and supplemented by support from authorities. The main themes of the refugee experience of post-migration challenges were weakened social networks, barriers to integration and challenges to cultural and religious belonging. Failed reunion and worrying about relatives was described as particularly painful. Negative contacts with authority persons were often seen as humiliating or discriminating. Acquiring a new cultural belonging was described as challenging. At the same time, changing family and gender roles made it more difficult to preserve and develop the culture of origin. Traumatic experiences and mental health problems were common in this group. Family issues were more often than integration difficulties associated with mental health problems. Conclusion: In order to strengthen post-migration well-being and adaptation, authorities should support the refugees’ social networks. Clinicians need to address post-migration problems and challenges, including the meaning and function of social networks.

%X I januar 2015 startet 17 kandidater med innvandrerbakgrunn opp med kvalifisering til helsefagarbeider etter Ryfylkemodellen. Forsøket ble igangsatt av og drevet ved Ryfylke Læringssenter (RL) i samråd med Strand kommune som skoleeier. Forsand og Hjelmeland kommuner var også involvert i prosjektet. Hovedmålet har vært fagbrev som helsefagarbeider. Majoriteten av kandidatene hadde flyktningbakgrunn, en var arbeidsinnvandrer og en familiegjenforent. Ryfylkemodellen kombinerer arbeidspraksis med undervisning i helsefag og norsk gjennom et fireårig løp. En klassekontakt ved RL har hatt hovedansvaret for gjennomføringen, med rektor som støttespiller. På praksisplassene ble det utpekt individuelle veiledere for hver kandidat. NAV garanterte ytelser til livsopphold. Målet var fagbrev som helsefagarbeider, men man håpet også på tettere tilknytning til arbeidslivet i perioden, og økt integrering i lokalmiljøet. 12 av kandidatene har deltatt på hele løpet. Dataene som sluttrapporten særlig bygger på er produsert i to omganger, en i november 2017 og en rundt desember 2018. Vi har også dratt noe veksler på datagrunnlaget fra midtveisevalueringen (Vedøy & Nødland 2017).

%X Denne rapporten er en midtveis- og følgeevaluering av et forsøk med 4-årig kvalifisering som helsefagarbeider for voksne innvandrere gjennomført ved Ryfylke læringssenter (RLS). I 2015 startet en gruppe med 17 kandidater opp med kvalifisering til helsefagarbeider etter Ryfylkemodellen, i samråd med skoleeier. Modellen kombinerer praksis i helsefag med undervisning i programfag og norsk gjennom hele fireårsløpet. Én klassekontakt ved RLS har hovedansvar for gjennomføringen, med rektor som støttespiller. På praksisplassene blir det utpekt individuelle veiledere for hver kandidat som følger opp kandidatene. NAV garanterer ytelser til livsopphold. Vi har intervjuet kandidatene, nøkkelpersonell ved læringssenteret, NAV, veiledere på praksisplassene, virksomhetsledere og representant fra Rogaland fylkeskommune, som er eier av forsøket. Intervjuene har foregått etter ett og to år ut i forsøket. Fokuset har vært på fire hovedområder: 1. Innhold, organisering og vurdering på skolen og på praksisplassene 2. Motivasjon og gjennomstrømming 3. Modellens bærekraft 4. Følger for integrering av innvandrere i lokalmiljøet

%X Until quite recently, the Russian-speaking population in Finland has been regarded as an "ignored" or "hidden" minority that began to attract public attention only at the beginning of the 1990s when the number of Russian speakers in the country began to rapidly increase. At the moment, they constitute the largest group of immigrants in Finland (more than 39,000) and their number continues to increase. The number of speakers of Russian in Finland is, however, very small compared with, for example, the Baltic countries, for their proportion of the entire population is only 0.75 percent. They do not have an officially acknowledged status as a language minority either. In Finland, speakers of Russian are a fairly heterogeneous group: some of them have lived in the country for several generations and integrated into the Finnish society whereas the majority of them are more recent immigrants and still in search of their own place. In this article, we will discuss the historical background of the immigration of the Russian-speaking population and its consequences for their integration into Finnish society. Based on the most recent findings on the status of Russian-speaking immigrants, we will survey the present situation with a particular focus on the opportunities for Russian speakers to participate in the building of a civil society. Although the interests and backgrounds of immigrants from different eras and with different reasons for moving vary a lot, the Russian language and culture remain unifying factors. It can be said that the Russian language has an important role in Finland today, especially in the areas with large Russian-speaking populations. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Iki pastarojo Iaikotarpio rusakalbiai gyventojai Suomijoje buvo vertinami kaip "primiršta" arba "nematoma" mažuma. Ji patraukė visuomenės dėmesį tik XX a. dešimtojo dešimtmečio pradžioje, pradėjus sparčiai augti šalyje rusakalbių skaičiui. Šiuo metu rusakalbiai Suomijoje sudaro didžiausią imigrantų grupç (daugiau kaip 39 000 asmenų), kuri ir toliau gausėja. Vis dėlto rusakalbių skaiėius Suomijoje, palyginti su Baltijos šalimis, yra mažas. Jų nuošimtis tarp visų šalies gyventojų siekia tik 0,75%. Valsrybė nėra oficialiai pripažinusi jiems kalbinės mažumos statuso. Suomijoje rusakalbiai sudaro pakankamai heterogenišką grupę: kai kurių jau kelios kartos gyvena šalyje ir integravosi į jos visuomenç, tačau dauguma yra neseniai atvykç imigrantai, vis dar ieškantys savosios nišos. Šiame straipsnyje aptariamos rusakalbių gyventojų imigracijos istorinės prielaidos ir pastarųjų įtaka rusakalbių integracijai į Suomijos visuomenę. Remiantis paskutinių tyrimų apie rusakalbių imigrantų padėtį duomenimis, apžvelgiama dabarties situacija, ypatingą dėmesį atkreipianr į rusakalbių galimybes dalyvauti pilietinės visuomenės kürime. Nors gerokai skiriasi skirtingų laikotarpių imigrantų interesai, profesinė kvalifikacija ir arvykimo motyvai, tačiau rusų kalba ir kultüra išlieka juos vienijančiu veiksniu. Galima reigti, kad šiuo metu Suomijoje, ypač gausiai rusakalbių gyvenamose vietovėse, rusams tenka svarbus vaidmuo.

%X There are neighbourhoods in Denmark with a high concentration of (certain) ethnic minorities and few Danes, as in other Western European countries. International research about ethnic segregation suggests three main reasons for this: 1. the behaviour of immigrants, 2. the behaviour of natives and 3. the housing market. In Denmark the concentration is closely connected to the housing market, where ethnic minorities have been concentrated in social housing, which often have been located in certain neighbourhoods. Another major reason is that many Danes deselect neighbourhoods with many ethnic minorities. This concentration started in the 1990s but stagnated after 2000 despite further immigration. The reasons can in part be due to changes in the composition of immigrants and the success of urban policies in counteracting segregation, but also as documented in the article, that many earlier immigrants have left social housing. The development in Denmark resembles that described by the so-called "Spatial assimilation" theory, which claims that new immigrants settle in neighbourhoods with a strong ethnic network, but that over time they leave these areas in pace with their integration in their new country. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Som i andre lande er der i Danmark i takt med indvandringen opstået byområder med en stor andel etniske minoriteter og få danskere. I den internationale litteratur om etnisk segregation peges der på tre hovedårsager til dette: indvandrernes adfærd, de "indfødtes" adfærd og segregeringsmekanismer på boligmarkedet. I Danmark hænger koncentrationen både sammen med forholdene på boligmarkedet og med, at danskerne fravælger byområder med mange etniske minoriteter. Koncentrationen fandt især sted i 1990'erne og er stagneret efter år 2000. Der er tre årsager til denne udvikling: at indvandringen har ændret karakter mod flere arbejdskraftindvandrere og færre familiesammenførte og asylsøgere, at kommunerne gennem bypolitikken har påvirket tilflytningen til de indvandrertætte områder, og at mange af de tidligere indvandrede har forladt den almene sektor og områderne. Udviklingen er i overensstemmelse med den såkaldte "Spatial assimilation" teori, som tilsiger, at nye indvandrere ved indvandringstidspunktet bosætter sig i byområder med et stærkt etnisk socialt netværk, men at de over tid forlader disse områder igen. Artiklen er baseret på et longitudinalt studie af etniske minoriteters bosætning i Danmark siden 1985.

The analysis sheds light on the normativity enshrined in the safety net and on the implications of the divergences between the integration policies and the Somalis' conceptualizations and experiences of social security. The article draws on excerpts from 22 interviews conducted between 2015 and 2017 among the Somali diaspora in Scandinavia.

%X There is a lack of knowledge about psychosocial resources that may sustain post-resettlement psychological adjustment among unaccompanied minor asylum-seekers. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of social support from family abroad and friends on acculturation, discrimination, and mental health among these vulnerable children and youth. Questionnaire data were collected from a population-based multi-ethnic sample involving 895 unaccompanied minors resettled in municipalities in all regions of the country. They met in groups in their local communities. The informants were on average 18.6 years, and had an average length of stay in Norway of 3.5 years. The findings showed that the participants suffered from high levels of ongoing war related intrusive symptoms and depression. Still, at the same time they engaged in adaptation processes that are normative to youth with immigrant backgrounds, in terms of constructing supportive networks and developing culture competence. In accordance with the main effect hypothesis, social support had direct effects on depression and indirect effects by increasing culture competence that may aid the young refugees in dealing with discrimination. However, there were no effects of social support on symptoms of PTSD. The findings give direction to areas of interventions, beyond dealing with the sequel of the traumas the unaccompanied minors have been exposed to, not only for clinicians, but also social workers and school personnel.

%X With about 2.7 million nationals residing elsewhere in the European Economic Area, Poland was the second largest country of origin of all intra-European migrants in 2018. After the country’s accession to the European Union in 2004, some Polish migrants have brought abroad their families, while others continue living alone and commuting to visit their families in Poland. Based on a sample of 1153 survey respondents in three European contexts—Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom—this article investigates from a comparative perspective how Polish migrants’ family reunification status is related to their integration on the labour market. Results show that only in the Scandinavian labour markets, and not in the British, is migrants’ economic integration decisive for family reunification. This article argues that in contexts which offer broader employment opportunities for family migrants, who tend to be women, such as in the UK between 2004 and 2016, the lead migrant’s labour market integration may not be crucial for family reunification. The findings may be of special interest for migration policymakers in the Scandinavian countries working towards greater gender equality outcomes among its immigrant populations. © 2020, The Author(s).

%X With rising requirements for citizenship across Western Europe, Denmark is one of the restrictive 'leaders,' with tough rules for language ability, economic self-support, and a clean criminal record. But what do these restrictions mean for newcomers' ability to qualify, and how does this differ between different types of immigrants? Using register data on refugees and family migrants who immigrated to Denmark between 2001 and 2009, we show that tough language requirements exclude more people than self-support and crime rules, and many cannot qualify even after 13 years in the country. Across groups, education level at entry is the biggest predictor of whether and when newcomers qualify. These findings raise questions about the liberal nature of such requirements and about the future of democratic inclusion in Western Europe.

%X Refugees in high-income countries face barriers to healthcare access even when they have the same rights and entitlements as the host population. Disadvantages in healthcare access contribute to differences in health outcomes and impact acculturation. This study explores perceived changes in health status and experiences with the Norwegian healthcare system of Syrian refugees living in Norway, using a trajectory perspective. We conducted 15 semi-structured interviews in April 2020 among purposefully recruited adult refugees from Syria resettled in Norway. Interviews were carried out in Arabic and analysed with Systematic Text Condensation using NVivo software. We used Lévesque's access model and Edberg's migration trajectory perspective as theoretical frameworks. A conceptual model was developed – The Migrant Sensitive Access Model - that highlights the factors contributing to a positive versus negative healthcare journey. Findings were summarized under three main themes: changes in health and well-being, expectations , and trust. Perceived changes in health status and attributed causes for change were related to the resettlement phase, gender, and were highly informed by pre-migration and migration experiences. The users' perception of the caregiver, communication, and time were identified as key factors in the care-access journey in inspiring trust or distrust in the caregiver. Syrian refugees in Norway appreciate the Norwegian healthcare system but are impeded in their access to care. Many of the barriers can be bridged during the doctor-patient interaction with a diversity sensitive caregiver. The model we propose gives a comprehensive overview of key areas determining the healthcare experience of this population. The results of this study can be useful to policymakers and healthcare providers when addressing disparities in healthcare access for forced migrants. • Healthcare access for a refugee is closely interrelated to acculturation. • Many access barriers were found despite universal health coverage. • Barriers can be bridged by establishing trust in the healthcare system. • We propose a conceptual framework for the healthcare experience of refugees.

%X Objectives: The aim of the present study is to determine how marital status and certain post-migration family structures are associated with the risk of mental illness among recently arrived Arabic- speaking refugees in Sweden. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during 2015 and 2016. The study population was recruited by inviting all adult refugees who participated in the mandatory public integration support programme. All refugees that participated had received refugee status. A total of 681 of the invited participants returned the GHQ-12 questionnaires, through which the risk for mental illness was measured and only Arabic- speaking refugees (N = 638) were included in the analyses. Results: Marital status per se was not associated with a risk for mental illness. However, for the whole study sample there was a statistical significant odds ratio of 1.72 (95% CI 1.03–2.86). For male Arabic-speaking refugees with a spouse or child left behind in the home country there was a borderline significant increased risk for mental illness, odds ratio = 1. 87 (95% CI 0.99–3.56). The risk for female Arabic-speaking refugees was non-significant, odds ratio = 1.35 (95% CI 0.55–3.33). Conclusions: Arabic- speaking refugees who were separated from family members reported an increased risk for mental illness after arriving in the host country. Actions to facilitate family reunion after arriving as a refugee (in Sweden) seems to be an important factor to promote mental health among refugees.

%X In an endeavour to understand connections between immigration policy and contemporary colonialism on Indigenous territory, this study investigates how state-led immigrant integration policies and practices reproduce colonialism in Swedish Sápmi. It explores the applicability of scholarship on settler colonialism on Sweden and develops the notion of banal colonialism by combining scholarship on settler and everyday colonialism with banal nationalism. Drawing from state documents regulating immigrant integration and semi-structured interviews conducted with integration workers in Swedish Sápmi, the study shows that immigrant integration policy largely silences the colonial past and present of Sweden. While the implementation of national-level policies on Indigenous land reproduces majority-centred narratives, also practices challenging the colonial order are identified. The study shows how the notion of banal colonialism captures mundane colonial practices, but also brings attention to instances where immigrant integration policy has the potential of challenging settler colonialism.

%X A right no less than a duty ... The Social Democrats and the Immigrant Integration Act, 1998The Danish Integration Act, effective as from January 1 1999, lays down binding rules and guidelines for municipal authorities. These are entrusted with ensuring the capability of refugees and reunified family members to adapt themselves to Danish society, be it in terms of language skills, labour market participation or simply familiarity with Danish norms and institutions. Means to that effect – incentives as well as obligations on the part of the immigrant – are spelled out; indeed, to this day, the field is centrally regulated in a strong degree.The present article explains the genesis of the Act. It was a response from the ruling Social Democratic Party – and even a broader political and societal welfare coalition – towards the so-called ‘foreigner issue’: the fact that a growing proportion of the electorate considered resident aliens a strain on local communities and a drain on public coffers. Whereas the Social Democrats and their coalition partners opted for better, more dedicated efforts to promote integration, right-leaning parties spoke in favour of a restrictive immigration policy that might slow down the influx of people from non-OECD countries.However, the Social Democratic Party was riven by internal strife. One faction, well represented among local politicians who felt the pressure from local problems, opinions and sentiments, called for a more robust and determined approach. During the nineteen nineties, no settlement occurred; rather, the lines of division became deeper and more complicated both within the Social Democratic Party and the governing coalition, and across the political spectrum.The Social Democrats had shaped the basic components of their integration policy already in 1988. Nevertheless, it lasted a full decade before those principles were translated into legislation. Gradually, the critical voices that wanted to put a limit to humanitarian idealism as the all-dominant guideline won more attention from the party leadership and some concessions were made, symbolized by the promotion in 1997 of the outspoken, but at the same time moderate Thorkild Simonsen, the former mayor of Aarhus, to Minister of the Interior. After this reconciliation, the legislative process entered the phase of closure. Ultimately, a small parliamentary majority passed the bill. The major centreright parties chose to abstain from voting on this issue in order not to obstruct the passing of the important Aliens Act that came bundled with the bill on integration.Until that point, integration had been a particularly conflict-ridden part of general welfare policy. Over a full decade, especially the Social Democrats had to strike suitable balances between differing forces and opinions, internally and externally, and between on the one hand staying in power and on the other hand safeguarding ideological principles.

%X This article examines how the Islamic prohibition of riba (interest) shapes ideas about homeownership and housing choices among Muslim professional women in Oslo, Norway. While 'homeownership for all' has been an explicit policy goal of the post-war Norwegian welfare state, denoting for immigrants a salient measure of 'successful integration', the lack of interest-free housing finance in Norway makes homeownership unattainable for parts of the Muslim minority, who consider interest prohibited by their religion. While research on Muslim immigrants is plentiful, little attention has been given to the relationship between religion and homeownership in migrants' everyday life, and how the prospect of homeownership relates to questions of integration and belonging. Examining how Muslim professional women negotiate majority and minority norms related to housing and finance, we offer analysis highlighting intergenerational differences as well as gendered and transnational dimensions. We find that the prohibition of riba matters to our research participants and that they actively consider Islamic scripture, their own codes of ethics, and the wider social and economic consequences of their actions when deciding to obtain a loan with interest. Negotiating different, and often diverging, norms, these women straddle expectations of being 'a good citizen' and of being 'a good Muslim'.

%X This article analyses the increasing participation of Muslim women in mosques in Norway in light of current discourses on citizenship, gender and migration. It discusses how various processes in the mosques can be interpreted as contradictory and complex by sometimes increasing the participation of women and promoting liberation, while at other times constraining women's activities through various forms of discipline and control. Women are vital for the building of religious institutions among Muslim immigrant communities, and they are slowly achieving more space in such institutions. They are also being included in new forms of participation in some mosques. Recently, some Muslim women in Norway have made public calls for the reinterpretation of the Qur'an in ways that are more inclusive towards women. Despite pressures from both within and outside the mosques, however, Muslim congregations in Norway can still be described as patriarchal gender regimes where the participation and citizenship of women depends on the willingness of men to include them.

Luhmann, Niklas (1927-1998)
%X This article raises the question whether and how religious organisations contribute to integration in a diverse city district of Oslo, the capital of Norway. Drawing on Niklas Luhmann’s theory of society and his work on religion, it argues that this question requires an analysis of the way religious organisations are integrated into different social systems and of the way people are included in such organisations. With regard to the inclusion of people, the article suggests that not more than half of the city district’s population were members of local religious organisations and that the religious organisations may not have targeted excluded groups, as Luhmann suggests they might. Focusing on the way the religious organisations were integrated into different social systems, the article finds that they were engaged in local communities within the city district, with local public authorities and welfare service providers, and in religious networks that spanned the city, the country, and the world. The article concludes that the religious organisations in the city district were part of a global religious system and mostly communicated in non-religious ways at the local level. The contribution of religious organisations to integration must thus be understood in relation to communication on a global scale and across the secular/religious divide.

%M rayyan-298338112
%X Den demografiske utviklingen viser en økende andel eldre som har behov for kommunale tjenester. Sammen med en høy andel deltidsarbeidende betyr det at Agderregionen fremover står overfor en stor utfordring i å rekruttere tilstrekkelig kvalifisert arbeidskraft til kommunal sektor. Dette er en studie som fokuserer på rekruttering av personer med flyktningbakgrunn i oppvekstsektoren og omsorgssektoren i kommunene på Agder. Denne rapporten presenterer funn fra en spørreundersøkelse til kommunale personalsjefer i tre fylker, herunder Agder, og en casestudie i to Agder-kommuner. Studien peker mot at det bør arbeides mer med likestilling, inkludering og mangfold (LIM) på Agder hvis en ønsker å øke antall ansatte med flyktningbakgrunn i kommunene. Selv om LIM er sentrale begrep i planer og strategier i case-kommunene, synes mangfold og inkludering i flere sammenhenger som tomme ord. Mange ansatte er bevisste på verdien av og utfordringer med mangfold, men dette vektlegges i liten grad systematisk i kommunene. Det er mangler i kunnskap om LIM og selvkritisk refleksjon og bevissthet rundt mekanismer for strukturell diskriminering i kommunene. Et illustrerende eksempel som trekkes frem i våre data er krav om språkferdigheter, som ikke dekkes i håndbøker for tilsetting, og er uklart formulert i stillingsannonser. Hva som er «god norsk» er opp til enkeltpersoner i tilsettingsprosessen, der dette ikke er dekket i lovkrav. Her er det grunn til å spørre seg om språkkrav kan bli brukt som et dekke for underliggende holdninger basert på nasjonal opprinnelse, nasjonalitet og/eller religion. Et annet eksempel er at det ofte tas for gitt at personer med flyktningbakgrunn har lav eller ingen formell utdanning. Dette kan stemme for noen, men langt fra alle. Kan denne antakelsen være et ekstra, skjult, hinder i en rekrutteringsprosess?

%X Migrant populations are often viewed in terms of alterity despite being settled members of communities. The image of migrants in many western contexts is one of being poor or ethnically and religiously different. This image in turn often frames migrants as being non-local. However, in reality, the local is not perceived and constructed through predetermined or essentialist subjectivity but through processes of constructing and negotiating borders of identity and place that incite people to shift between subject positions of local/visitor, host/guest, or tourist/migrant. This paper problematises the rigidity of social positions that underpin images of migrant populations as the other by examining the visiting friends and relatives (or VFR) practices of migrant residents in Malmö, Sweden. Whereas many studies of VFR build on a tourism-migration dialectic and focus on migrants, this study uses mobility politics as an analytical lens to examine both migrant residents and their friends and family. This focus sheds light on how family and friend's mobility politics are connected to the perception and construction of the local, local selves, and others. The research findings demonstrate that migrant residents are not the other but are an embedded part of the city regularly attracting visitors to the area. Furthermore, during visits, lines between host and guest, migrant and tourist, and visitor and local are blurred. Residents and visitors, guided by the rules of hospitality, attribute new embodied meanings to tourist and migrant mobilities that strengthen and bound the imaginations of residents and visitors to transnational networks. The conclusions from the study also help shed light on migrant integration and potential avenues for working with integration in the future. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

%X Some recent European research claims that immigrants settle in urban areas with low scores on level-of-living conditions and a high prevalence of health-risk factors, and that these settlement patterns adversely affect their health. Other studies question the association between immigrant segregation and area deprivation on one hand, and negative health outcomes on the other hand, and identify possible beneficial effects of segregation, specifically the ethnic density effect . This paper aims to explore the possible ethnic density effect among refugees, a sub-population that often appears relatively vulnerable compared with immigrants in general. The data comprise 30 871 individuals, aged 20–69, with an (post-1989) officially registered refugee status from six major countries, including Vietnam, Somalia, Iran, Iraq, Sri Lanka and Bosnia. Two outcomes are analysed, covering the 2008–2011 period – the probability of being admitted at least once to a mental health institution and the number of bed days during that period. The results show that all immigrant clusters have relatively high concentrations of negative level-of-living conditions. Despite this finding, refugees living in clusters tend to have less use of mental healthcare services. The results suggest that for most refugee groups, living in clusters has positive health outcomes. Many countries use settlement policies to direct the inflow of refugees away from immigrant-dense areas. Norway's settlement policy is no exception, aiming at a geographic dispersal of refugees to avoid the emergence of socially segregated urban ethnic communities. This paper discusses the relevance of such a policy for refugees' overall integration and level-of-living conditions.

%X The number of children fleeing and/or seeking asylum alone without parents or guardians has been increasing during the last decade worldwide, where Sweden has been receiving the largest number of asylum claims by unaccompanied minors in Europe. Despite the growing interest in the situation of this group in destination countries, there is a lack of research articles that address this group with nationwide comprehensive data. This study examines the labourmarket situation of the whole population of the refugee youth who entered Sweden as unaccompanied minors or separated children and were registered during the years 2003-12. We investigate whether this group is in a disadvantageous situation regarding labour-market incorporation compared to their counterparts who arrived with their families due to their specific marginalized and vulnerable position within society. The results show that this group exhibits capacity and resilience in terms of finding employment and willingness to work. The results are discussed with a structural incorporation framework from a reception and integration policy perspective as well as from an immigrant wellbeing and a 'whole-child' approach.

%X Integrating non-Western refugees into the highly specialised Scandinavian labour markets has proven difficult. This highly ideological policy field is an interesting case for the study of policy learning versus ideas as drivers for institutional change or continuity. Using the Norwegian Introductory Programme as a case study, we show that the application of core programme measures remains largely unaffected by evaluations that show that such measures tend to have very modest effects on the labour market integration of refugees. Concurrently, incremental changes in the disciplining elements of the programme have resulted in an increasingly controlling activation regime. Our interpretation is that a major driver behind the intensification of disciplinary elements has been the assumption that participants lack the motivation to integrate into the labour market. Moreover, we find that this assumption presents an obstacle to policy learning with regard to programme quality. Within activation, policy ideas seem to function simultaneously as path-reinforcing cognitive locks and as drivers for political change. © The Author(s) 2018.

%X In 2016, a group of 55 Syrian quota refugees arrived in Iceland from Lebanon and settled in three municipalities. There were 11 families comprising 20 adults and 35 children. This study1 aimed to critically explore the experiences, opportunities and challenges of these children, their parents, their teachers and principals in the municipalities of their resettlement since their arrival in Iceland. The theoretical framework of the study includes critical approaches to education, and multilingual education for social justice. Methods of data collection included semi-structured interviews with the refugee parents, the head teachers and teachers in all the schools in the study. While the findings indicate that most of the children were doing well both academically and socially in their first months in the schools, they also show that the children and parents have experienced a number of challenges. These included illiteracy, interrupted schooling of the children and hidden trauma before arriving in Iceland. After arrival, the parents have experienced lack of communication between schools and homes, as well as differences in norms, values, languages, and expectations between the schools and homes.

%X Discussions within political theory on naturalisation tend to focus on whether or not it is reasonable and fair to make naturalisation conditional on meeting integration requirements. Those who emphasise the right of long-term immigrants to be included as equal citizens argue that automatic naturalisation is preferable, while those who put emphasis on the state's legitimate interest in promoting the conditions for a reasonably just society tend to argue that conditional naturalisation is normatively preferable. However, most participating in this debate seem to agree that naturalisation rules must balance these different concerns. In this paper, we argue that the conflicting views on each side of the automatic-conditional divide can be reconciled by introducing the model of discounting-conditional naturalisation. We suggest that a practice in which integration requirements are gradually relaxed over time can in fact sufficiently accommodate those normative considerations that are in conflict under the current practices.

Emigrants and Immigrants
%X This paper is an analysis of patterns and determinants of return and onward migration among foreign‐born individuals residing in Sweden from 1990 to 2015. Who is emigrating, and where do they go? What are the determinants of return and onward migration? Increased diversity in international migration flows includes an increase in repeat migration. However, studies of re‐emigration have often failed to appropriately distinguish emigration types and have traditionally been limited to economic analysis of labour migrants. Using high‐quality register data from Sweden, this paper analyses re‐emigration through the conditions upon first immigration and evolving social and economic integration in the host country. Although return migration is found to be the main form of remigration type, onward migration is more prominent among specific migrant groups such as forced migrants. Additionally, various determinants of return and onward migration stress the importance of treating them as distinct phenomena within the migration literature.

Scandinavian comparative analysis
%X Although many studies compare national integration policies, analyses connecting these policies to integration outcomes are rare. This study combines longitudinal analysis of employment outcomes for Scandinavian refugees, with analyses of integration measures and policies to explain these differences. Can different usages of integration measures explain cross-national differences in employment outcomes between genders and with increased residence time? Moreover, can the countries’ integration policies explain such differences? Our analyses show substantial cross-national differences. Danish male refugees are employed faster; however, Sweden catches up, and Norway surpasses Danish employment levels with increased residence time. Additionally, Norway has a substantially smaller gender gap in employment than Sweden and particularly Denmark. We demonstrate that different usages of integration measures may explain differences in outcomes. We conjecture that different policies regulating (1) financial benefits and (2) employment and self-sufficiency requirements for obtaining a secure legal status may reinforce differences in programme participation and employment patterns. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

%X Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, in this article, I tell the story of a particular Syrian family and their encounter with a day-care institution in Denmark – and by extension with the Danish state. In doing so, I highlight how the initially legitimate worries and genuine care of the institution turned into a form of 'coercive concern' (Jaffe-Walter 2016) as the family failed to fully meet the requirements of the Danish educational/ integration regime. I show the problematic transition that occurred in the approach to Aisha as the pedagogues moved from seeing her as a vulnerable refugee in need of care to seeing her as a 'problem of integration'. Highlighting glimpses of alternative pedagogical approaches, which were co-present though undermined, I argue for the value of relational care as entailing emphatic listening and presence (Noddings 2013). I thus point to the value of doubt and dialogue, rather than a stifled form of certainty through adhering to specific pedagogical mantras vis-à-vis integration policy.

%X The relationships between quality of life, psychopathological manifestations and coping related variables (coping resources, social support, sense of coherence) were examined among individuals who have perceived several severe traumata. One hundred Iranian refugees resettled in Sweden have been investigated by the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90-R), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Coping Resources Inventory (CRI), and the Interview Schedule for Social Interaction (ISSI), the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC), and the WHOQoL-100 questionnaire in a cross-sectional study. Individuals, traumatized by combat experiences as a soldier during the war, with low BDI scores showed on average the significantly highest overall quality of life, the best physical health, the highest scores according to the sense of coherence most pronounced for "Meaningfulness," and the best availability of social integration compared to participants who did not had these experiences in combats and those with the experience but scored high in the BDI. Quality of life, coping resources, and social support were found closely related to psychopathological manifestations. Motivational orientations (highly developed Meaningfulness-SOC) and various coping competencies probably enable some traumatized individuals to resist against several traumata and to live in a good quality of life without psychopathological disturbances.

%X <bold>Background: </bold>Norway, like other European countries, has a growing refugee population. Upon arrival to Norway, refugees and asylum seekers need to learn about Norwegian society and social services such as healthcare. Despite various programs and assistance, they face numerous challenges using the healthcare system. Understanding the healthcare experiences of Ethiopian refugees and asylum seekers may improve how services such as informational sessions and delivery of medical care are provided. This qualitative study seeks to describe the health-related experiences of Ethiopians who have sought asylum in Norway and shed light on potential barriers to care.<bold>Methods: </bold>Individual interviews were conducted with ten Ethiopian refugees and asylum seekers in Norway. Thematic analysis was used to understand the broader context of refugee resettlement and how this experience influences participants' health experiences and health seeking behaviors.<bold>Results: </bold>We identified three main themes that played a role in participants' health and healthcare experiences. Participants described how 'living in limbo' during their application for residency took a mental toll, the difficulties they had 'using the healthcare system', and the role 'interpersonal factors' had on their experiences. While applying for asylum, participants felt consumed by the process and were affected by the lack of structure in their lives, the conditions in the reception center, and perceived inadequate healthcare. Participants perceived a change in access to services before and after they had been granted residency. Participants learned about the healthcare system both through official information sessions and social networks. Doctor-patient communication and interpersonal factors such as a sense of feeling valued, language, and discrimination had a large impact on perceived quality of care.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Ethiopian refugees and asylum seekers face numerous challenges accessing, using, and interacting with Norway's healthcare system. Contextualizing these challenges within the asylum seeking process may help policy makers better understand, and therefore address, these challenges. Interventions offered at reception centers and in health worker trainings may improve healthcare experiences for this and similar populations.

%X Background: Immigrants often experience difficulties with acculturation and post migratory stress after arrival in a host country and studies report poor health, chronic pain and depression. This is a challenge for primary health care and interventions need to be evaluated. Objectives: To explore the experiences of a group of women from Somalia who took part in a multimodal pain rehabilitation programme in primary healthcare in Northern Sweden. Methods: Seven individual interviews a few months after participation, and a focus group discussion one year after the programme were conducted and analysed with Grounded theory. Results: A core category regained life emerged from the data. This was described as a process in two categories: panic and connection. The participants experienced that the programme was helpful and that the pain was reduced. They became more open-minded; got new ideas and knowledge; were helped to improve their societal adaptation and integration; experienced that they were not alone; and learned that there is benefits when a group of people share experiences and feelings. Conclusions: Multimodal pain rehabilitation can be helpful for women immigrants from Somalia. The programme triggered positive changes in their lives and they received knowledge about how to manage pain and improved their self-confidence and health.

%X Much work has gone into unpacking the range of individual, interpersonal and structural barriers that prevent asylum-seekers from accessing healthcare. In this Brief Communication, we disentangle asylum-seeking families’ psychosocial responses when accessing healthcare as crucial dimensions of the access experience. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 11 asylum-seeking families in Denmark, we present examples from three specific healthcare encounters between families and healthcare professionals in the Danish asylum system. We demonstrate how unfamiliarity with the healthcare system, interpersonal miscommunication and cultural insensitivity among professionals evoke specific emotions that undermine participants’ trust in the healthcare system and affect their future motivation for healthcare seeking and ultimately also their healthcare seeking behavior. We argue for an urgent need to recognize the pivotal role of such psychosocial responses in shaping healthcare access for asylum-seeking families. Focusing on these responses is an important next step in overcoming barriers in access to healthcare, which have been described in literature for years.

%X The presumptions, terminology, psychometrics, statistical analyses, and ethics of the fourfold acculturation paradigm are criticized in detail. Illustrative data came from Iranian refugees in Norway ( N =80) answering: 1) the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), 2) Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale (ZSRDS), 3) ipsative fourfold scales of Integration, Assimilation, Separation, and Marginalization, 4) orthogonal scales of attitudes towards Norwegian and Iranian cultures, measured independently and using balanced reverse-keying, and 5) ipsative forced-choice preferences for cultural practices of Norway, Iran, both, or from other societies as well. Iranians in Norway favored global multiculturalism and, as a group, did not show distress. The SWLS and ZSRDS were correlated, but the measures of acculturation failed to replicate one'another. As unconstrained ipsative measures, the fourfold scales showed acquiescence response bias contamination and doubtful operationalization of scale constructs. Recommendations are discussed for improving acculturation research.

%X Migrants suffer from worse psychological health than natives in many countries, yet the extent to which this varies by age at migration and duration of residence in the receiving context remains unexplored in Sweden. Drawing on a life course approach, we investigate differences in psychological distress by age at migration and duration of residence in working-age migrants to Sweden, and examine the role of various social determinants of health in explaining these differences relative to Swedish-born. Using pooled cross-sectional data from the 2011/2015 Health on Equal Terms survey in Västra Götaland Region, Sweden (n = 58,428), we applied logistic regression analysis to calculate predicted probabilities and average marginal effects (AME) of migrant status, by age at migration and duration of residence, on psychological distress. Analyses were stratified by sex and region of origin and controlled for indicators of socioeconomic status (SES), social cohesion, and discrimination to assess their potential contribution to differences in migrants' and natives' psychological distress. All migrants except men from OECD-predominant regions had a greater probability of psychological distress than Swedish-born (ranging from AME 0.031 [95% Confidence Interval or CI 0.000–0.062] for OECD women to AME 0.115 [95% CI 0.074–0.156] for non-OECD men). Marginal effects of migration status on psychological distress probabilities generally increased with age at migration and duration of residence. Differences between migrants and natives were largely attenuated after controlling for social determinants, the greatest contribution coming from inequalities in social cohesion, followed by inequalities in discrimination and SES. Our results suggest a relative health advantage of early-life compared to later-life migration, albeit with worse outcomes with longer residence in Sweden. The predominance of integration opportunities in childhood strengthens calls for supportive policies to assist older migrants' integration directly upon arrival, which may ultimately improve their psychological wellbeing. • International migrants often suffer from worse psychological health than natives. • Psychological distress increases with age at migration and duration of residence. • Native-migrant differences are largely accounted for by social inequalities. • Inequality is found in social cohesion, discrimination, and socioeconomic status.

%X Over 50 million people have been displaced, some as a result of conflict, which exposure can lead to psychiatric sequelae. The aims of this study were to provide estimates of pre-emigration trauma, post-migration stress, and psychological sequelae of immigrants and refugees from predominantly Sub-Saharan Africa who immigrated to Sweden. We also examined the predictors of the psychiatric sequelae as well as acculturation within the host country. A total of 420 refugees and immigrants were enrolled using stratified quota sampling. A battery of questionnaires including the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire, Post-Migration Living Difficulties Scale, the Cultural Lifestyle Questionnaire; and the Hopkins Checklist were administered. Descriptive statistics, Chi square analyses, Pearson correlations, analysis of variance, and logistic and linear regression were performed to test the aims of the study. Eighty-nine percent of participants reported at least one traumatic experience prior to emigration. Forty-seven percent of refugees reported clinically significant PTSD and 20 % reported clinically significant depressive symptoms. Males reported a significantly greater number of traumatic events [F(1, 198) = 14.5, p < 0.001] and post-migration stress than females [F(1, 414) = 5.3, p = 0.02], particularly on the financial, discrimination, and healthcare subscales. Females reported a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms when compared to males [F(1, 419) = 3.9, p = 0.05]. Those with a shorter duration in Sweden reported higher rates of PTSD [F(63, 419) = 1.7, p < 0.001]. The greater number of traumatic events was found to be significantly associated with the severity of PTSD symptoms [F(34, 419) = 9.6, p < 0.001]. Using regression analysis, 82 and 83 % of the variances associated with anxiety and depression, respectively, was explained by gender, education, religion, PTSD and post-migration stress. Sixty-nine percent of the variance associated with PTSD included education, number of traumatic events, depressive symptoms and post-migration stress. Forty-seven percent of the variance for acculturation was accounted for by a model that included age, education, duration in Sweden, anxiety, depression, and post-migration stress. These predictors were also significant for employment status with the exception of depressive symptoms. Multidimensional interventions that provide treatments to improve psychiatric symptoms in combination with advocacy and support to reduce stress (e.g., financial, access to health care) are recommended. The focus of the intervention may also be modified based on the gender of the participants.

%X ABSTRACT. In the present study, the author examined 3 theoretical perspectives--family values, acculturation strategies, and social group identity--as predictors of the psychological well-being of adolescents from immigrant backgrounds. The 3 perspectives share the view that immigrants' successful adaptation involves the balancing of their heritage culture and the culture of the society of settlement. The participants were 506 adolescents from 4 backgrounds--Vietnamese, Pakistani, Turkish, and Chilean--who were living in Norway. The 3 theoretical perspectives together accounted for between 12% and 22% of the explained variance of mental health, life satisfaction, and self-esteem. The predictive powers of the different perspectives, however, were dependent on which outcome was predicted. On the whole, social group identity showed the strongest predictive power.

%X In 2016, the government‐funded Fast Track for Newly Arrived Teachers and Preschool Teachers programme was introduced in Sweden. The initiative stemmed from a shortage of teachers and preschool teachers alongside a relatively large number of educated and experienced teachers among newly arrived immigrants. This study uses both qualitative and quantitative data to present the participants' perspectives of the professional development offered by the Fast Track programme. The experiences of participants reveal challenges encountered in a new social and cultural field. This study uses the framework of human capital and social capital theory. The results show that the vast majority of participants perceive that they gain professional development through the Fast Track programme with the help of bonding and bridging social capital. However, Swedish administrative processes, cultural barriers, such as language proficiency, and slow adaptation to the new educational context seem to hinder professional development and integration.

%X The recent significant inflow of international migrants into rural areas in Europe has raised questions about the integration of migrants into the rural host localities. Amidst the growing literature, there are, however, few comprehensive analyses of processes of migrants' social integration. Drawing on the lived experience of Polish migrants in a rural area in Norway and applying the theoretical framework of social exposures, the article illustrates the important role of the migrants' position on the local labour market, the socio-demographics of the receiving locality and the material and geographical properties of the area for the dynamics of their social integration. Findings show how migrants' desires to engage in migrant/non-migrant relationships are challenged by the increasingly ethnically divided local labour market, amidst growing migration to the location and by the geographical structure of the locality. The changing and intersecting character of those domains fosters conditions that promote primarily social exposure of the migrants to their own co-ethnics, isolating them from the local community. At the same time, the study illustrates that mutual engagement of the migrants and the local inhabitants, as well as having children, play a significant role in diversifying migrants' local social contacts.

%X Den kendte humorist Storm P. udsendte i 1913 en stribe med en beruset mand, der kravler rundt under en gadelygte. En hjælpsom forbipasserende spørger, om herren har tabt noget, og den berusede fremstammer, at han har tabt nøglen til sin gadedør. Den forbipasserende spørger så, om han tabte den der – og manden svarer, nej, det var ovre i den mørke gade, men der er meget lysere her. I dette essay spørger vi, om debatten og forskningen om integrationsproblemer begår den samme fejl ved ureflekteret, uden at undersøge det teoretiske grundlag, at anvende de kategorier, som fremgår af den officielle statistik, i stedet for at søge efter blokeringer og mekanismer, som hindrer integrationsprocessen. Den officielle statistik gør det muligt at fokusere på en særlig befolkningsgruppe: som ikke-vestlige indvandrere og deres efterkommere. Nogen kan påpege en overhyppighed af sociale problemer i denne gruppe. Dermed er kategorien fastlagt som indikator på problemer.

%X Purpose – The immigration detention environment largely influences the health and well-being of detainees by either aggravating medical conditions or contributing to new illness. There is limited research on how detainees experience and try to cope with this environment. The purpose of this paper is to describe experiences of detainees in Swedish immigration detention centres. Design/methodology/approach – Semi-structured interviews were conducted in three detention centres with a total of 21 detainees who had been detained for at least two weeks. Interview transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings – The detainees likened immigration detention to imprisonment. They experienced lack of control over their life situation mainly through arbitrary restrictions and lack of proper response from authorities making it appear futile to seek help. This perceived lack of control forced them into passivity. Differences in amenities provided in the centres were observed and some of these were reported to assist in making detention more bearable. Research limitations/implications – This study provides only one stakeholder perspective. The perspectives of other stakeholders, such as detention staff, health care professionals and volunteers must be explored to improve understanding and mitigate the effects of detention. Originality/value – Irrespective of the better standards of detention in Sweden, the detainees considered detention as imprisonment affecting their health and well-being. If states deem detention to be necessary, improved staff-detainee interaction should be ensured through proper staff training, arbitrary restrictions within detention should be avoided and health care services should be improved.

%X Background: Considering the global refugee crisis, there is an increasing demand on primary care physicians to be able to adequately assess and address the health care needs of individual refugees, including both the somatic and psychiatric spectra. Meanwhile, intercultural consultations are often described as challenging, and studies exploring physician–patient communication focusing on emotional distress are lacking. Therefore, the aim was to explore physician–patient communication, with focus on cultural aspects of emotional distress in intercultural primary care consultations, using a grounded theory approach, considering both the physician's and the patient's perspective. Methods: The study was set in Region Stockholm, Sweden. In total, 23 individual interviews and 3 focus groups were conducted. Resident physicians in family medicine and patients with refugee backgrounds, originating from Somalia, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, were included. Data was analysed using a grounded theory approach. Results: Over time, primary care patients with refugee backgrounds seemed to adopt a culturally congruent model of emotional distress. Gradual acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses as explanatory models for distress and suffering was noted, which is in line with current tendencies in Sweden. This acculturation might be influenced by the physician. Three possible approaches used by residents in intercultural consultations were identified: "biomedical", "didactic" and "compensatory". They all indicated that diagnoses are culturally valid models to explain various forms of distress and may thus contribute to shifting patient perceptions of psychiatric diagnoses. Conclusions: Physicians working in Swedish primary care may influence patients' acculturation process by inadvertently shifting their perceptions of psychiatric diagnoses. Residents expressed concerns, rather than confidence, in dealing with these issues. Focusing part of their training on how to address emotional distress in an intercultural context would likely be beneficial for all parties concerned.

%X Russian minorities are one of the most significant minority groups in Finland. Research on Finnish-Russian relations, suggests that Finnish adolescents have feelings of prejudice towards Russian immigrants. Studies that examine the association between these feelings of prejudice and the kind of acculturation preferences Finns have towards Russian immigrants do not exist. In a sample of 305 Finnish adolescents, this study investigates the relationship between feelings of prejudice and support for acculturation preferences (assimilation and integration) towards Russian immigrants. While controlling for the effect of age, gender, level of education, and family´s economic condition, results revealed a significant positive relationship between prejudice and assimilation and a negative but non-significant relationship between prejudice and support for integration. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed as well.

%X The number of international students engaging in intercultural education and thereby adjusting to cross-cultural transition has risen conspicuously as a consequence of globalization and increased mobility. This process of acculturation has been associated with increased creativity as well as adaptation challenges. This paper investigates international students' psychological and sociocultural adjustment to studying at Aarhus University in Denmark. Both international students ( n = 129) and domestic students ( n = 111) participated in the study. The international students did not report impaired psychological conditions as compared to the control group of domestic students. However, the international students reported a significantly lower level of social support. Social support and perceived discrimination were significant predictors of both psychological and sociocultural adjustment. Additionally, the level of English proficiency alone predicted sociocultural adjustment. Values of vertical individualism and horizontal collectivism predicted psychological adjustment. Finally, integration was found to be a significantly more adaptive acculturation orientation than separation in regard to sociocultural adjustment. These findings were discussed in relation to relevant international research and it was concluded that international students comprise a resourceful student sample and that the international academic environment at Aarhus University appears to be an adequately cultural and value-oriented good fit as a context of reception for the multicultural engagement of international students.

%X Seglem, K. B., Oppedal, B. & Raeder, S. (2011). Predictors of depressive symptoms among resettled unaccompanied refugee minors. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology 52, 457-464. This study investigated the level and predictors of depressive symptoms among unaccompanied refugee minors after resettlement in Norway. Participants ( N = 414) were resettled in 26 municipalities from all regions of the country. The average length of resettlement time was 3.4 years. They originated from 33 different countries, mainly Afghanistan ( n = 116), Somalia ( n = 74), Sri Lanka ( n = 41) and Iraq ( n = 43). Participants completed a self-report questionnaire administered in groups. Findings show that unaccompanied minors are a high-risk group for mental health problems also after resettlement in a new country. A multilevel model predicting depressive symptoms from individual and contextual demographic factors indicated that, controlling for post-traumatic stress, females had more symptoms than males and Somalis had fewer symptoms than participants from other countries. Variation in symptom levels as a function of gender and ethnic background indicates that some groups may have inherent protective or vulnerability factors that need to be further studied to understand differences in psychosocial adaptation among unaccompanied minors. Further, findings imply that researchers, policy makers and mental health care workers need to expand their attention beyond the first phases of arrival of unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee minors to the continuing experience of mental health problems after resettlement.

%X Background: Due to increasing globalization and Internet communication, the number of international marriages has increased. In Sweden, 75% of the Thai population are women, among whom 80% are partnered with Swedish or other Scandinavian men. Previous studies have indicated that lack of autonomy, social isolation, and stigma are important risk factors for poor mental health for foreign-born women as well as for women in international marriages. Objectives: To explore what characterizes the processes, choices, challenges and relational conditions that Thai women, partnered with Swedish or Danish men, experience during their first years in Sweden. Method: A qualitative study using a Constructivist Grounded Theory approach based on fourteen individual interviews with Thai women partnered with Swedish or Danish men and residing in Sweden. Results: The core category ‘possibilities to maintain a strong self in Sweden’ is linked to five categories characterizing the process that the women go through over time. The subcategories illustrate different paths taken even if there were possibilities to change paths along the way. The women had, for different reasons, reached a turning point that made them leave Thailand. In Sweden, they started in dependency and struggled in different ways to adjust to relational norms and handle prejudice. Toward the end of the timeline, differing ways of recognizing life choices depended on access to social networks and partners’ attitudes. Conclusion: Our study showed the crucial role of economical, emotional and social support from partners and networks for Thai women’s possibilities to maintain a strong self and good health after migration. This implies a need for supporting Thai women to be more independent by providing access to language education, employment and community involvement. The current requirement for becoming a permanent resident should also be reviewed not to jeopardize women international marriages possibilities’ to leave unhealthy relationships. © 2017 The Author(s).

%X This paper explores demographic processes behind ethnic geographies in Oslo. We compare data for census tracts in 2001 and 2011, and decompose ethnic composition and segregation on local mobility, national migration, international migration and natural demographic change. The study comprises five national groups: Poles, Somalis, Sri Lankans, Iraqis and Pakistanis, plus aggregates for Nordic and non-Nordic residents. A key observation is that local mobility weakens the status of original settlements without a corresponding effect on levels of ethnic segregation. For several groups, local mobility increases both own-group exposure and separation from the Nordic majority. International migration, in contrast, increases spatial integration between Nordic and non-Nordic residents. Natural change accords with our expectation and strengthens both minority representation in established eastern settlements and ethnic segregation in Oslo at large. Certain features of the Oslo context, e.g. lack of multi-ethic experiences, domination of owner-occupied dwellings and redistributive policies, may explain the surprising results. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature.

%X This article discusses the phenomenon of popularity and its implications for gender construction, social inclusion, and gender equality among girls in two ethnically diverse contexts in Norway. At one field site, girls of immigrant origin were a majority, at the other they were a minority. Based on detailed ethnographic methodology and participant observation over time, this study shows that the crucial dimensions of popularity overlap with “economies of dignity” and vary according to whether the ethnic Norwegians are in a minority or majority position. The dimensions of popularity, which include the importance of attracting the male gaze, are connected to consumption. My results suggest that consumption influences girls’ construction of gender, and may have negative consequences for the inclusion of immigrant girls when in a minority, because they often live in low-income families. The article concludes that the overlap between the dimensions of popularity and the tokens of value of the economies of dignity underlines the importance of how power, through popularity, works among children. One implication of this power is that neither ethnic Norwegian girls nor girls of immigrant origin appear to live in a climate of gender equality.

Analyzing recent survey data from Sweden, the authors find that political activity among immigrants is encouraged by associational involvement in general but not by associations based on ethnic origin. To explain this difference, the authors examine important causal mechanisms between associational involvement and political participation. They conclude that while ethnic associations induce the development of civic skills, they do not create enough opportunities for mobilization through networks of political recruitment. Hence, compared to associations in which both mechanisms operate, ethnic associations tend to provide less politically stimulating environments.

%X Theories of participation have been developed and tested almost exclusively on majority populations. While the relative under-representation of ethnic minorities in the political process is regularly asserted, their participatory behaviour is therefore generally less-well understood. Using recently gathered data based on a sample of residents in the region of Greater Stockholm, Sweden, this article considers two primary questions: whether associational affiliation increases individuals' likelihood of political participation and whether these effects are the same for immigrants and native Swedes. It is shown that associational affiliation lowers the thresholds of political participation for immigrants by offering a training ground for civic skills and, albeit of lesser importance, an arena for political recruitment. In contrast, the positive correlation between affiliation and political participation among native Swedes instead seems to stem from processes of self-selection. While associational affiliation thus seems to be an important means for the political integration of immigrants, the political importance of associational affiliation for the majority population may well be called in question.

%X Political parties are an important part of the institutional framework for migrants' political integration, but remain an underdeveloped area of research in the literature on political opportunity structures (POS) for migrants. Departing from the POS framework, this article addresses the question of what role the intra-party structure of candidate recruitment has for enabling the political career path of people with migrant background. It focuses on the case of Sweden, which has one of the most open POS in terms of formal political rights. Based on an interview study with party officials and political candidates with migrant background, we identify a number of party-internal factors in this POS. The empirical analysis combines two approaches in institutional theory in order to differentiate between 'thresholds' related to strategic considerations and short-term vote-maximisation, and 'barriers' embedded in roles, identities and organisational practices. In addition to making a contribution to research on the responsiveness of political systems in open-POS countries, the article discusses how the institutional approach can be useful for identifying possible solutions for supporting the political career of immigrants.

%X Using a combination of logit, and OLS regressions we ask if the labour force outcomes for Polish immigrants differ across two immigration policy regimes (Canada and Sweden). Specifically, we compare the employment and earnings prospects of Polish immigrants and their children in Canada and Sweden using data that is similar in quality and timing. We find that in general, Polish immigrants, while facing substantial penalties compared to native-born workers fare better in Canada than in Sweden in terms of employment and income. As expected, second generation Poles fare much better than their immigrant counterparts in terms of employment and earnings differentials and have similar outcomes to the native-born majority in both countries. Membership in the EU fundamentally changed migration flows from Poland. In light of this we also look at how post-2004 Polish migrants have fared in both Canada and Sweden.

%X Increased public funding, more governmental involvement and an emphasis on the instrumental values of physical activities have in general become characteristic of Western nations' policies towards sport. Denmark is, however, a little different in that there is still little political intervention in sport, although sports clubs do get economic support and are seen as having the potential to solve crucial social issues. The purpose of this article is to analyse and discuss the ways in which the political assumption that sport can enhance social integration is reflected in the practical governance of integration issues in particular in sports clubs. The article is based on a local field study in which we interviewed 10 talented football players with ethnic minority backgrounds and eight coaches and club leaders from six different football clubs. Distinguishing between integration and assimilation, the analysis shows that coaches (and the Danish football governing bodies) employ a strategy of integration towards ethnic minority players' different preferences for food and clothing. However, in the daily practice of football the clubs have an implicit strategy of assimilation. The coaches attempt to treat everyone the same (no matter the ethnicity and background of the players). Inspired by anthropological studies this is analysed as a common way to downplay differences between the members of a society (or in this case a football team and club) and to enhance instead an 'imagined sameness' that is central to the national self-understanding in Nordic countries. This leads us to discuss a possible change of strategy for elite sports clubs to develop explicit policies for their work with ethnic minorities. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.

%X Focusing on the three Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, Policy Learning from Canada is a systematic study of the international relevance of the Canadian immigration and integration policy model. To reveal how the Canadian immigration model has shaped the reform process in Scandinavia, Trygve Ugland critically examines public documents, including government proposals, documents from parliamentary debates, and reports by ad-hoc expert commissions, as well as letters from consulted agencies. Ugland's intensive studies on Canada's immigration and integration policies depict Canada not only as a model and inspiration to Scandinavian policy makers, but, in particular, as an intellectual stimulus for the rediscovery of labour immigration in Scandinavia during the 2000s. The study demonstrates that the Canadian model, often perceived as a product of unique circumstances, can be relevant in other countries. © University of Toronto Press 2018. All rights reserved.

%X Governments have policies explicitly directed at the integration of migrants. This article addresses how policymakers and politicians privilege certain constructions of the social relationship between migrants and the majority society (expressed through narratives of ‘integration’), while making it seem as if they were presenting facts in their policies. These constructions provide the justifications for adopting a direction in policy-making over other alternatives. This article sets to analyse comparatively how policy actors in two urban contexts construct migrants' integration through policy narratives and how, within this, they evaluate migrants as ‘integrated’ and ‘non-integrated’. Through narrative analysis, the article sheds light on how migrants are positioned by political institutions within the normative order of the society in which they live. Furthermore, it shows that local policy-making is shaped by national citizenship regimes, models of steering, welfare regimes and stories about the nation and its people.

%X Though geographically distant from each other, Portugal and Finland present an interesting comparison concerning the policies and devices of asylum. Both provide an informed and critical appraisal of the current international response to the refugee issue, especially considering the European Union. The Finnish situation evidences a long-standing integrated resettlement frame, associated with the inclusive and pluralistic character of Nordic immigration policies, in spite of the growing threat of regression under the emergent xenophobic pressure. Unlike Portugal, where a finely-tuned response system is still lacking in spite of the existence of an assumed political will and commitment to receive increasing numbers of refugees. © 2019 2019 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

%X The Danish legal system comprises a series of integration measures adopted to increase the chances of integration for newly arrived foreigners. As a system put in place over two decades ago, it is based on the assumption that the law can play a key role in defining integration in a new country, and that municipalities are able to monitor its progress. This article offers an introduction to the rationale behind the adoption of these integration measures, the content of the contracts between immigrants and municipalities, their position in reference to other legal measures in force in the area of integration, and the consequences of the (non-)observance of the contracts. Organised as a well-developed and coherent system, the law tailors integration initiatives differently depending on the categories of foreigners included. However, a closer look, especially at the contracts, reveals that the integration initiatives are placed in a mixed territory of public and private law, where administrative law characteristics appear in contract terms. The legal implications of this placement are still unclear.

%X This article uses participatory photography to explore contradictory processes of inclusion and exclusion in contemporary Sweden. Our aim is to analyse the social relations that shape the kinds of places recently arrived migrant women experience as ‘safe’, as well as their everyday experiences of inclusion and exclusion. The use of photography – wherein the women choose how, when and where to shoot photos – helps us highlight what otherwise would not be immediately evident with regard to the experience of such places. We argue that there are inclusive places in segregated spaces, and that issues of ethnic inclusion and exclusion are linked to ethnic hegemony and other relationships of power. Drawing on theories of relational space in general, and transgressive space in particular, we demonstrate that our informants' daily existence is simultaneously integrated and segregated, included and excluded, and that emancipatory processes that are already under way must be allowed to proceed if the social landscape of integration is to be an open and equal one.

%X Research on the ‘civic turn’ in European citizenship policies suggests that concerns over immigrant integration have fueled the restrictive development of citizenship policies in recent decades. However, few efforts have been made to explore the normative ideas underlying this development. Departing from Favell’s (1998) influential concept of ‘philosophies of integration’, this article draws on elite-interviews with top-level bureaucrats, politicians and citizenship experts in the Scandinavian countries and explores how ideas about nationhood and integration have influenced the divergence in citizenship policies in the region, and what overall purpose the policy-changes reflect. We find that, especially in Denmark, the gradual introduction of ever more demanding civic integration requirements appears to be a part of the broader aim of controlling the inflow of migrants and not to enhance the integration of those already present in the country. Conversely, the Swedish liberal approach to citizenship, which regularly has been analyzed as a steppingstone to societal integration, might in reality have been a reflection of benign neglect. In Norway, immigrant integration has clearly been part of the underlying rationale for changes in naturalization requirements, yet the control dimension have played an increasingly important role. These findings suggests that, although the citizenship institution remains important in nation states’ efforts to solve their ‘ethnic dilemmas’, the underlying rationale behind policy-change is more multifaceted than previously understood. © The Author(s) 2020.

%X Orten Närpes i västra Finland har under senare år presenterats som ett särskilt lyckat exempel på integration, med hög sysselsättningsgrad och täta kontakter mellan migranter och andra ortsbor. Svenskan är minoritetsspråk i Finland men majoritetsspråk i Närpes, och därmed även det språk i vilket migranter erbjuds integrationskurser. I denna artikel granskar författarna integrationen i Närpes utgående från ett intervjumaterial med 23 informanter som har flyttat till Närpes från olika länder. Artikelförfattarna tillämpar Alistair Agers och Alison Strangs modell för integration och granskar hur sysselsättning och utbildning, sociala kontakter, språk och kulturella särdrag samt trygghet och stabilitet ter sig ur migranters perspektiv.

%X Theoretical explanations suggest that wage differentials between immigrant and native workers are generated either by differences in the acquisition of human capital or by various forms of exclusion of immigrants from fair labour market rewards. We evaluate the labour quality and labour market discrimination hypotheses by using a large sample of Swedish employees in 1995. Our findings show that labour market integration is relatively unproblematic for immigrants from Western countries, whereas immigrants from other countries, especially from Africa, Asia and Latin America, face substantial obstacles to earnings progress when entering the Swedish labour market. For the latter group of countries, extensive controls for general and country-specific human capital reduce the earnings differentials. However, the remaining gap is of a non-trivial magnitude. Thus, the labour quality hypothesis accounts for a part of the observed native-immigrant wage gap, but the remaining differentials can be interpreted in terms of labour market discrimination.

%X <bold>Background: </bold>Ethnic discrimination is a relatively common experience among immigrants and ethnic minorities. The experience of discrimination can have detrimental effects on an individual's health and well-being. This study investigated the association between perceived discrimination and general health and mental health among immigrants in Norway, in order to identify potential protective factors.<bold>Methods: </bold>Using data from the Living Conditions Survey among Immigrants 2016, our sample consisted of 4294 participants aged 16-66 years from 12 different countries. Participants were asked about a variety of themes including health and mental health, perceived discrimination, sense of belonging and language proficiency.<bold>Results: </bold>Around 27% of participants reported perceived discrimination. While perceived discrimination was not associated with general health, logistic regression analyses indicated that it was associated with 1.86 higher odds of mental health problems, even after adjusting for sociodemographic and psychosocial variables. Further, interaction analyses suggested that sense of belonging and trust in others moderated the relationship. Those with higher levels of trust did not have increased odds of mental health problems when experiencing discrimination, while those with low levels of trust did. In line with rejection sensitivity theory, the association between perceived discrimination and mental health was stronger for participants who had a strong sense of belonging to their own country of origin but not to Norway compared with those who had a sense of belonging to both.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Improved integration strategies could potentially improve the mental health of immigrants as well as increase the acceptability of diversity, which in turn, could reduce discrimination towards immigrants. Limitations and suggestions for further research are discussed.

This question was approached by exploring the young persons' creation of relational practices and the kinds of sociomaterial conditions that seemed to facilitate the evolvement of these practices, including the professional caregivers' contributions. Interviews with 11 boys and 4 girls (aged 13–16) from Afghanistan, Somalia, Angola and Sri Lanka, as well as their professional caregivers in their country of residence, Norway, were analysed systematically by searching for, and categorizing, the variation of relational practices among the young persons. Three overarching practices are presented. First, the young persons worked to connect past, present and future contexts through collective meaning-making practices. Second, they regulated their peers' emotions through emotional care practices. Third, they widened each other's social networks through practices of social inclusion. Following the resettlement procedure the young persons moved from one kind of institution (care centre) to other parts of the country and to another kind of institution (group home) where the relational practices mentioned above appeared to be less prevalent. The article suggests that arranging everyday life as collective enterprises, as well as housing peers with similar cultural backgrounds, were central for the evolvement of the relational practices. As such, the article both elucidates a range of health-promoting relational practices that the young persons' realised as a group as well as how these practices are embedded in sociomaterial conditions.

%X Immigrants move not only from one country to another, but also to different ways of living and different kinds of housing systems. Based on the studies among households with Pakistani, Tamil and Somali background in Oslo, this article explores how immigrants adapt to the housing market. The result is a typology of cross-cultural adaptation, developed from the experiences of the households. Behaviours are interpreted as expressions of how people link structures and resources from their cultural belonging with perceived constraints and opportunities in new contexts. The type of adaptive behaviour is shown to have consequences for how immigrants perform in the housing market in their new place of residence. Those who manage to apply previous knowledge to openings and options in the new housing system are in a favourable position.

%X In 2015, more people than usual claimed asylum in Finland, inspiring many artists to organise photography workshops with refugees and migrants. This article examines in what respects participatory photography can promote social inclusion for migrant youth and what aspects need more attention. It is based on a Finnish research project titled Young People in the Limelight, which investigated ways to support social inclusion, participation and multiliteracies by vulnerable youth through youth work. The action study included five participatory photography workshops with mixed groups of migrants and Finns, most of them between the ages of 15 and 22. The data consist mainly of observation diaries and interviews. In participatory photography, social inclusion is usually understood as 'having a voice'. Besides this, it was also discovered that participatory photography can facilitate social inclusion by providing experiences of informal, interpersonal acceptance, by increasing perception of the photographer as a skilful person, by solidifying a sense of belonging to a group and society and by facilitating familiarisation with new spaces and local culture. The study suggests that experimenting with and analysing participatory photography as a facilitator of social inclusion from the perspectives of listening, transcultural interaction and spatiality should occur more in the future.

%X The nuclear family is often the point of departure in much of the existing acculturation research on refugee youth and children of refugees. The influence of other extended family members appears to receive less attention in understanding acculturation processes and intergenerational perspectives. This qualitative study explores the influence of extended family members upon a small sample of Vietnamese refugee parents and their adolescents while they undergo acculturation through their long-term resettlement process in Norway. With repeated interviews over a time span of 3 years, we identified situations and processes in family life in which extended kin become particularly activated and influential. Vietnamese refugee families in Norway keep close contact with extended kin even in the face of geographical distance to kin remaining in Vietnam, or globally dispersed. Aunts, uncles, and cousins are experienced as significant persons in the lives of many adolescents. Additionally, birth order of parents can often influence relationship dynamics among siblings and siblings children. Extended kin surfaced as especially important and influential at critical stages and crisis situations in family life. Extended family, and in particular, parental siblings play important roles in the acculturation experience and family functioning of Vietnamese refugee families in Norway. This has important implications for the study of Vietnamese and other refugee and immigrant families in acculturation research. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

%X This article explores paradoxes that emerge in the mentoring of highly-educated, female, foreign-born job-seekers in Finland. Theoretically, the study is linked to the growing body of research scrutinising the integration or discrimination of migrants in working life. It analyses cultural practices and ideas that are visible and affect the mentoring interaction. On a more practical level, the paper determines how the mentors and mentees experience the mentoring, and how intercultural mentoring could be improved in order to promote mentees' employment. The article is based on ethnography and 11 semi-structured interviews. Two major paradoxes and their links to cultural meanings were identified: the over-emphasised focus on Finnish language (the language paradox), and the myth of the strong Finnish woman (the support paradox). These can be seen as having aspects of both cultural awareness and situation-specific awareness. Using situation- specific awareness, some mentors understood the best way forward was to break the rules of the mentoring programme and not to use Finnish in all communication. This enabled a more equal setting for professional discussions. In some rare cases, when the mentors did not use situation-specific awareness, a vicious circle emerged and mentees felt even worse about their abilities and working life opportunities. Similarly, although the myth of the strong Finnish woman can be an empowering and positive model for the mentee, it can have a negative impact on the mentor, enabling undercurrents in the mentoring discussions which can be experienced as harsh and even hostile. This, instead of encouraging and supporting, can result in the undermining and 'othering' of the mentee.

%X Objective: To investigate how socio-economic position, demographic factors, degree of integration and dietary indicators are related to BMI/waist:hip ratio (WHR) and to weight dissatisfaction and slimming among South Asians in Oslo, Norway. Design: Cross-sectional study consisting of a health check including anthropometric measures and two self-administered questionnaires. Setting: Oslo, Norway. Subjects: Pakistanis and Sri Lankans (n 629), aged 30-60 years, residing in Oslo. Results: BMI was positively associated with female gender (P=0∙004) and Pakistani origin (P<0∙001), and inversely associated with years of education (P=0∙011) and eating more hot meals (P=0∙016). WHR was positively associated with male gender (P,0?001), age (P<0∙001) and a dietary pattern with high-fat foods (P=0∙005), and inversely associated with degree of integration (measured by a composite index, independent of duration of residence; P=0∙017). One-third of those with normal weight and most of those obese were dissatisfied with their weight. Among these, about 40% had attempted to slim during the past year. Dissatisfaction with weight was positively associated with education in women (P<0∙006) and with integration in men (P=0∙026), and inversely associated with physical activity (P=0∙044) in men. Women who had made slimming attempts had breakfast and other meals less frequently than others (P<0∙05). Conclusions: Weight dissatisfaction exists among South Asian immigrants. More research is needed regarding bodily dissatisfaction and the relationship between perception of weight and weight-change attempts among immigrants in Norway, in order to prevent and treat both obesity and eating disorders.

%X The Scandinavian countries currently face their largest ever wave of immigration. The immigration wave increases the need for immigrants to learn the host language to be able to participate in work life and become a citizen of the host country. Yet, the language training programmes – ‘Swedish for Immigrants’ in Sweden have come under great criticism for inefficiency. But now, surveys have been carried out with the adult immigrants taking part in the language training programmes. Consequently, the purpose of the present study is to identify predictors of adult immigrant students’ attitudes towards language learning at the training programmes in Sweden. Using survey data collected from adult immigrants participating in the language training programmes, we conduct a series of ordinary least squares regressions. We report that the majority of immigrant students are satisfied with the language programmes. Our findings indicate that satisfaction seems to be due to variables such as level of education, age at arrival, and language exposure through social networks but not to socioeconomic status or sex. © The Author(s) 2018.

%X During 2014, Denmark received nearly 15,000 asylum seekers, almost twice the number from the previous year as more people fleeing Syria's war fled to Europe. By 2016, Denmark succeeded in making the country highly unattractive as a destination for refugees fleeing war torn countries. The country introduced a controversial 'jewellery bill', placed adverts in a newspaper in Lebanon dissuading refugees from contemplating a trip to Denmark, and cut assistance benefits for refugees by half. These state bordering practices aimed at securing some kind of 'Danishness'. This article aims at ascribing agency to young Syrian refugees in Denmark, who have experienced these bordering practices and who seek to counter these practices by participating in meaningful social interactions with their Danish counterparts. The empirical focus is an artistic enactment-a weeklong dance workshop that brought these youngsters together as a distinct form of practice that brings about the conditions of possibility for meaningful integration. Conceptually, it draws upon Arendt's theory of action and notion of 'plurality' to frame how such encounters come about.

%X Because of high unemployment rates among youth in Europe, comparative research has focused on identification of those risks and opportunities associated with the integration process from unemployment to work. The integration process of immigrant youth, however, received much less attention, despite their initially higher risk of unemployment than that for non-immigrant youth. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the exit from longer-term unemployment, with a focus on the integration into work of young immigrants in Finland, Sweden, France and Germany, countries that represent different welfare models and have different integration policies towards immigrants. The research is based on a European survey on youth unemployment with representative samples of longer-term unemployed young people in each of the studied countries. The results demonstrate that longer-term immigrant youth, compared with their non-immigrant counterparts, are less likely to find employment in Finland, face greater risks of mental health problems in Sweden and face increased risks of financial deprivation in France. In agreement with previous literature, these findings demonstrate that, with regard to expectations, the social democratic welfare states in particular have failed to promote the integration of longer-term unemployed young immigrants.

%X This paper addresses the question of how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the labour market integration support (LMIS) organised for refugees in Austria and Sweden, and the potential consequences of the changes unfolding. LMIS for refugees is a complex phenomenon involving actors at different interwoven levels—the macro-national level, the meso-organisational level and the micro-individual level. However, the complexities and consequences of such processes for the labour market integration of refugees have so far received limited attention. The current Covid-19 pandemic actualises the need to gain a better understanding of how integration support is organised across the different levels and how the pandemic itself impacts such support. Thus, the article seeks to understand how the pandemic affects the LMIS organised for refugees in Austria and Sweden, two countries with a large refugee population and diverging responses to the pandemic. Based on 29 semi-structured interviews and three focus group workshops, the results highlight in particular three developments: (a) a further entrenching of broader, macro-national level developments related to integration support already underway prior to the pandemic; (b) further mainstreaming of activities; and (c) increased volatility of work. Overall, the pandemic has brought to the fore the interrelation of different levels in the organising of LMIS for refugees and has contributed to a stabilisation of already ongoing activities.

%X Background: The world has been facing a chronic refugee crisis. Nations that accept refugees are expected to provide culturally effective services, often without benefit of an evidence-based approach to resettlement. Summary: This study examines refugee service providers in three municipalities in Iceland and the recipients in the first six months of resettlement. Through a purposeful sampling (N = 35) of social workers and program managers (N = 10) and adult Syrian refugees (N = 25) who had arrived in Iceland six months prior, interviews were conducted and analyzed for thematic content. Findings: Providers developed methods for providing services that varied depending on resources and their expectations for the recipients. Recipients' expectations influenced which services were perceived helpful. Integration had different meanings among the participants, and those differences informed experiences of resettlement. Applications: Countries can benefit from creating a team among the service sectors. Providers were unable to anticipate needs of refugees despite careful planning. The perceived importance of language acquisition varied among the participants. Community involvement was seen as a critical factor in the resettlement process. The initial case management of the families consumed more time and energy than some of the providers expected.

%X With unique data material from the Immigrant Labour Market, Language Skill and Social Network project (IASS), based on interviews with four refugee immigrant groups (Ethiopians/Eritreans, Chileans, Iranians, and Romanians/Hungarians) occupational mobility is analysed from home country occupation to the first occupation in Sweden as well as occupational mobility during the first 15 years in Sweden. The study supports a U-shaped occupational mobility relationship. For many people the first occupation in Sweden has a lower status than the home country occupation. The explanation may be a lack of international transferability of human capital and/or discrimination. Later, upward mobility in occupational status sets in. The U-formed relationship is deeper for those refugees who had a high occupational status in their home country compared to those with a lower occupational status. Upward mobility was also stronger for those refugees who acquired a Swedish academic education and for those who had become fluent in Swedish. © 2006 IOM.

%X Norway needs more highly educated workers. It is paradoxical then, that many highly skilled migrants encounter huge challenges getting a relevant job. Based on biographical interviews and observations with the participants of «Global Future», a «talent mobilization programme» for high skilled immigrants, the article identifies relational and contextual mechanisms that leads to a marginalised position in the local labour market. We understand labour market participation for high skilled immigrants as a result of complex negotiations in restricted parts of the local labour market. High skilled migrants need advanced language proficiency to be able to negotiate their skills and competences. Access, quality and organisation of language training seem crucial, as well as majority-oriented networks and knowledge of local labour life, history, politics and public debates concerning social and cultural processes in general. Integration also depends on lifephase, gendered expectations and recognition in the high skilled labour market. The study demonstrates that the part of the labour market that requires higher education has significant characteristics, in which for instance negotiations are part. This needs to be reflected if Norwegian integration policy is to be more succesful.

Emigrants and Immigrants
%X In this article, we discuss how certain sexual norms currently labeled as ‘Norwegian’ come into play in immigration policy related to marriage migrants and homosexuals who seek asylum in Norway. Our analyses indicate that discourses on sexuality in immigration politics are gendered and racialized at the Norwegian border. We discuss the continued significance of Orientalist notions that render its sexual subjects as inherently ‘different’ and supposedly premodern in contemporary regulation of immigration to Norway. Independence, freedom of choice and informed, strategic initiative, usually considered late modern ideals, seem to be grounds for suspecting the motivation for migration. Migration seems to be legitimate only when it is a result of necessity caused by the inherent emotional and sexual needs which signify the authentic homosexual and marriage migrant.

%X International migration is a complex phenomenon that touches on a multiplicity of economic, social and security aspects affecting our daily lives. In the Nordic countries' migration is a contentious political topic as the number of migrants has significantly increased in recent decades. The aim of this study is to analyse governmental policy documents on migrants in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden and to identify and compare how they are described within an empowerment perspective. A critical discourse analysis was undertaken of each Nordic country. The findings revealed that all four documents placed migrants in a passive position in regard to decision-making and that an empowerment perspective was lacking. Migrants are similarly treated in each Nordic country as a problem to deal with rather than as a possible resource for the society and the approach seeks to protect the welfare state and the culture of the country. The lack of empowerment perspective may be having a negative impact on the health and well-being of migrants and on their integration in the Nordic society. The article concludes by raising several questions in regard to migration and empowerment in the Nordic context. © 2020 The Author(s).

%X The purpose of this article is analysis of discursive marginalisation through education in Nordic welfare states. What knowledge do Nordic research discourses produce about marginalisation through education in Nordic welfare states? What are the Nordic contributions to research discourses on marginalisation through education? We apply a discourse theoretical approach and analyse 109 peer-reviewed publications on marginalisation by the Nordic Centre of Excellence “Justice through education in the Nordic countries” (NCoE JustEd) between 2013 and 2017. The publications are from Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. Four critical Nordic research discourses reconceptualise marginalisation in relation to dominant educational discourses on marketisation, Eurocentrism, gender equity and ableism. These Nordic research discourses document discursive effects of the dominant, normalising discourses in terms of stigma, segregation and exclusion of poor, working-class students, non-white and immigrant students and descendants of immigrants, as well as sexual minorities and disabled students. Based on ethical, epistemological and methodological considerations, the critical Nordic research discourses produce knowledge about marginalisation as a relational, intersectional and interdiscursive phenomenon. The critical Nordic research discourses de- and reconstruct knowledge about marginalisation in Nordic welfare states. © 2018, © 2018 The Author(s).

%X Purpose - This paper aims to present new research on family-supported immigrant women. Throughout the period 1994-2005, around 11 percent of immigrant women aged 25-66 from non-Western countries in Denmark were family-supported. Design/methodology/approach - The study applies a mixed methods approach integrating register-based quantitative analysis with qualitative analysis of interview material. Findings - The paper finds that family-supported immigrant women in Denmark can roughly be divided into two sub-groups. One group of women from the former Eastern bloc who have arrived recently, who have a relatively high-level of education and who often have a Danish husband; and another group of women from more typical "guest worker" countries, who have a lower level of education and who often have a husband with the same ethnic origin. A second finding is that for some women, being family-supported is a permanent rather that a temporary state. Third, the paper finds that family-supported women have a variety of motivating factors pulling them towards a working life, but they experience barriers for employment and education such as non-recognition of qualifications obtained outside of Denmark and a high demand for Danish linguistic skills. Practical implications - The practical implications of the research are numerous. One implication is that qualifications depreciate when not used. Being fixed in a job where one's skills are not utilized violates future employment opportunities. The marginal position of these women on the labor market makes them vulnerable, not least in times of recession. Originality/value - Little research has previously been done about this group of women, even though the size of the group is not negligible.

%X The study aims to explore whether gendered family roles in the country of origin and the country of destination explain labor market outcomes for immigrants in Sweden. We examine the assumptions of the source country culture literature—that traditional gender norms in immigrants' source countries drive women's employment in the new country—by focusing on gender differences and exploring group- and individual-level mechanisms, notably, that of care responsibilities. Using Swedish register data, comprising more than 660 000 individuals from 110 source countries, we analyze the labor market establishment of immigrant women and men in 2016 with multi-level regressions. Findings show that the gender gap in employment is significantly larger among groups from countries with low female labor force participation. Much of this gap is explained by women's care responsibilities, both at arrival and through continued fertility after arrival. Thus, even in Sweden, with longstanding policies promoting female employment, immigrant women's employment is conditioned by the gender-traditionality of their source countries. The findings question the gender-equalizing power of welfare state institutions in the face of increasing immigration. However, education crucially affects the implications of cultural background and fertility. In future research, these mechanisms—including the group-level correlations—should be further explored to better pinpoint the obstacles facing women from traditional countries.

%X In recent years, especially with the advent Digital Broadcasting Satellite (DBS) technology, transnational media has become central in the consumption of news by immigrant populations. This has received some attention as a factor associated with the lack of integration into their new societies. The present article demonstrates that diaspora as an analytic term is indeed relevant for observations and empirical investigations of media practices among contemporary immigrants, leaving room for questions of multiple belonging with implications for everyday life. According to recent data, people with migrant experience tend to seek news very broadly. Extensive news media consumption, desire for more international news than found in the national television channels, and a critical stance towards the news from these channels, are also part of the picture. A diaspora perspective transforms the prospect presented by observers and journalists, worried about integration processes, and prompts considerations that immigrants are also emigrants.

%X Aims: The Swedish public support system for the integration and establishment of newly arrived refugees includes an individualized introduction plan, containing language, civic and health information classes. As the plan requires active involvement, the simultaneous establishment of childcare and school start for children risks creating additional challenges and frustrations. The aim of the study was to explore the experience of adjustment among newly arrived refugee parents in the resettlement process, so as to understand how this risk may be mitigated. Methods: This paper presents findings from a qualitative study conducted with 24 Syrian refugee parents participating in the resettlement process and having received asylum status. Results: Parents experienced stress due to long waiting times for residence permits and the struggle to find stable housing. The parents established themselves by enrolling in language studies and looking for employment. They also faced challenges adjusting socially since they were mainly meeting people from their own country and, therefore, felt excluded from the Swedish society. Conclusions: The parents describe the experiences of having escaped from a war-torn country and arrived in new surroundings as mainly challenging for their current situation. Feelings of uncertainty arise as families struggle with daily life while waiting for residence permits, finding stable housing, learning a language and adjusting to new social circumstances. Having this in mind, we conclude that this group of refugees is exposed to health risks in the near future and, as such, is in need of additional support.

%X Introduction: In recent times, record numbers of unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) have settled in Norway. Many researchers have investigated the myriad challenges URMs face when settling in the countries of refuge, but fewer have focused on the strategies they use and resources they draw upon. Moreover, the dominant focus is on unaccompanied minor boys' experiences because they are overrepresented in this group. Unaccompanied minor girls are therefore less visible within URM research. The aim of our study was to explore the experiences of URM girls' adaptation to life in Norway focusing on their strengths, and to examine the social and structural factors that influence settlement. Method: This was a qualitative study and data was collected by conducting narrative interviews with six girls/young women aged between 15 and 20, who came to Norway as unaccompanied refugee minors. We applied a resource-based approach by using resilience and acculturation as our analytical framework. Findings: Participants in our study had adapted well to their new lives in Norway, based on academic, social and linguistic success. They exhibited strengths through actively gaining skills and building networks to help them to adapt to a new life in Norway. However, some of them experienced tension between the need to belong, which meant adopting an assimilation acculturation strategy and the need to hold onto their own cultural identity, an integration strategy. Conclusion: URM girls/ young women may have a greater need for emotional connection and support from female caregivers during the settlement. It is important that more research is done that highlights the gender dimension of URMs' girls/ young women's experiences during settlement to make sure that their needs are adequately catered for.

%X Forty years ago Denmark had very few residents of non-Nordic extraction, but since then a flood of immigrants, refugees and their family members have changed the social dynamic between "native" Danes and "outsiders." Seeking ways to cope with this challenge, Denmark has in the last ten years focused on how best to "integrate" its immigrants. A perusal of Danish research literature reveals that "integration" is an elusive and multi-faceted term; yet it is used in a specific manner by the Danish government. Its stance is that employment equals integration. Once an immigrant or refugee obtains a job, then that individual is "integrated." Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were held in Copenhagen with government officials and in the County of North Jutland with refugees, Danish language instructors, job counselors and volunteer workers to determine the extent to which the Danish government was succeeding with its policies. The focus on economic integration left many social issues unaddressed and even the limited government goal of "economic integration" is not being achieved. Given numerous barriers to the employment of immigrants, the interviewed refugees faced the choice of either remaining in their assigned municipalities and continuing to receive social welfare benefits or moving away from the municipalities in search of employment. Either choice meant a lack of economic assimilation in their assigned placement, essentially discrediting Danish policy. The paper concludes with possible alternative approaches to the integration of refugees and immigrants into Danish society.

%X Currently, in many Western countries there are concerns that clustering of ethnic minorities in certain parts of cities will negatively affect integration processes. However, scholarly theory and evidence on this point is mixed. We use Swedish data and conduct a panel analysis quantifying the degree to which the ethnic composition of the neighbourhood affects the subsequent labour income of individuals for the 1991 to 2006 period. We employ a fixed effects model to reduce the potential bias arising from unmeasured individual characteristics leading to neighbourhood selection. We also control for a range of individual demographic and socioeconomic attributes. Based on gender-stratified analyses of eight immigrant categories (N = 110,000) in three Swedish metropolitan areas, we find that male immigrants (females less so) gain if they reside in neighbourhoods with higher shares of co-ethnics and (under most circumstances) other immigrants, though the impact depends on neighbourhood level of employment and trajectory of ethnic share. This, we argue, should not be seen as an argument for ethnic residential segregation, but it tells us that the high degree of exclusion from the labour market experienced by many immigrants in Sweden is not directly caused by the level of immigrant residential segregation.

%X How may ethnic organizations work as mechanisms for political integration in suburban multicultural contexts with participative and network modes of governance? The overall argument of the paper is that a shift from vertical to more horizontal modes of governance affects the prospects for ethnic associations to fulfil different democratic functions. It does so in a complex, multidimensional and somewhat contradictory way. Although network modes of governance are often argued for in terms of openness and inclusion, it should not be taken for granted that such governance structures do promote democratic functions of ethnic associations. Drawing on an in-depth case study of ethnic associations and network politics in Botkyrka, Sweden, the purpose of the article is to provide theoretically informed arguments on how the political integration potential of ethnic organization is affected when they participate in local network-like arrangements and institutions. In brief, the article outlines three arguments: (1) There are different mechanisms of ethnic organization that might contribute to a more politically integrated society. (2) More horizontal network modes of governance generate new conditions for these integrative mechanisms to emerge out of ethnic organization. (3) In such a context of network governance, the different integrative mechanisms of ethnic organizations are not always supplementary, but sometimes contradictory, causing genuine dilemmas to be dealt with by local actors. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.

%X In this article, I address the role organisations and networks play in mobilising for the rights of undocumented migrants and in setting agendas for their inclusion and social membership. I compare two societies with different frameworks of welfare and migration regimes. The empirical material used in this article consists of 44 interviews with actors involved in the processes I define as negotiating social membership in Stockholm and Barcelona: policy-makers, immigration officials, trade unions, NGO activists and the undocumented migrants themselves. In both Sweden and Spain, mobilising groups have been important for the recognition of undocumented migrants. Until recently, undocumented migrants were largely invisible in the Swedish context, often living in extreme marginalisation and precariousness. In Spain, where the informal labour market is more extended and boundaries between the legal and the illegal are less pronounced, migrants have had greater opportunities to settle and to some degree integrate into society. The political opportunities for mobilised actors vary in relation to both the welfare and migration regimes, the structure of the labour market, and more subtle factors as receptiveness for claims-making at a certain time, tolerance for informality in society, and choices of individual actors in crucial positions.

%X The implications of increased immigration have been at the top of the political agenda in many European countries for the past decade. The boundaries of inclusion in national welfare states are a fraught political issue provoking heated debate on the limits entitlements. Human services workers are thus often thrust into the forefront of national integration efforts by having to act as gatekeepers to social and health interventions to increasingly diverse populations in homogenously constructed welfare states. This article explores integration in the Finnish human services through an analysis of the secondary data obtained from two migrant community research projects produced by migrants themselves, a project facilitated by the author. Utilizing a narrative approach to knowledge development, the migrant researchers outlined their communities’ concerns and experiences in the Finnish welfare state. By focusing on how voice and identity was narrated by the migrant researchers, this article explores the relevance of using community research methods to reveal the complexity of migrant community needs. It argues that locally based, community research has the potential to provide a more inclusionary, community-based methodological approach to migrant issues in European social work.

%X Gender has a profound impact on the discourse on migration as well as various aspects of integration, social and political life, public debate, and art. This volume focuses on immigration and the concept of diaspora through the experiences of women living in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Through a variety of case studies, the authors approach the multifaceted nature of interactions between these women and their adopted countries, considering both the local and the global. The text examines the "making of the Scandinavian" and the novel ways in which diasporic communities create gendered forms of belonging that transcend the nation state. © 2014 Haci Akman.

%X Sweden may in many respects be regarded as one of the most gender-equal countries in the world today. However, when looking at the situation of immigrant women a more unsettling picture emerges. Employment rates illustrate large gaps between native and immigrant women, as well as significant gender gaps between immigrant men and women. When investigating plausible explanations for underrepresentation of immigrant women in the labour market, scholars have mainly focussed on cultural and individual explanatory factors. In contrast, this article casts our analytical gaze towards institutional factors by examining the experiences of refugee women who, despite expressing a positive attitude and strong willingness to establish themselves on the Swedish labour market, had not succeeded in finding secure employment. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with refugee women, the results suggest that the insufficient institutional support during the first years in Sweden, devaluation of competence and challenges with 'starting over' are perceived as central barriers hindering their access to the Swedish labour market. To facilitate higher labour force participation among refugee women in Sweden it is crucial to develop and implement gender-sensitive measures that target different groups of immigrant women and meet their distinct experiences, needs, and interests.

%X The determinants and consequences of the naturalization of immigrants is a hot topic in the political debate in Europe. This article compares the effect of naturalization on the income attainment of immigrants in two Scandinavian countries, Denmark and Sweden, using longitudinal register data from 1986 and onward. Sweden is characterized by low obstacles to naturalization, and existing studies provide inconclusive evidence regarding the impact of naturalization on labor market outcomes. Denmark is instead characterized by higher barriers to naturalization, as well as a virtual inexistence of previous studies on the topic. Results, obtained through individual fixed-effect regression analysis, suggest similar effects in both countries. A consistent naturalization premium is detected for immigrants of Asian and African descent, but not for any other immigrant group. The similarity across contexts arguably questions the use of more stringent naturalization laws to promote the economic integration of immigrants. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

%X The Scandinavian countries have a long tradition of cooperation in the field of nationality legislation. In recent years, however, these countries have chosen different paths in the development of nationality law. Today, Sweden has one of the most liberal nationality laws in Europe, while Denmark has the most restrictive. The new Nationality Act of 2005 placed Norwegian regulations on the acquisition of nationality somewhere between Swedish and Danish legislation. In this article, my primary intention is to describe and compare the actual differences in Scandinavian nationality law and the political processes that led to the recent changes. A common feature is the tendency to view nationality legislation in relation to the integration of immigrants. Thus, a discussion of the different conceptions of integration in the Scandinavian countries has to be included. This connection between nationality and integration - between judicial and social belonging - is a recent trend in a European context, and illustrates how reforms of nationality law today may be interpreted as attempts to create social cohesion in multicultural nation states. © UNIVERSITETSFORLAGET TIDSSKRIFT FOR SAMFUNNSFORSKNING.

%X Research has shown that individuals in Sweden with foreign-sounding surnames who take on more Swedish-sounding or neutral surnames have a positive earnings progression compared to individuals who keep their foreign-sounding names. This article explores the strategies underlying these surname changes. I draw on forty-five interviews from a population of individuals with Middle Eastern backgrounds who changed surnames during the 1990s. Drawing on stigma and destigmatization theory, I argue that immigrant name change, a strategy typically associated with cultural assimilation, is a destigmatization strategy aiming for pragmatic assimilation. Through passing (as either Swedish or non-Middle Eastern), immigrants may keep the benefits of maintaining ethnic identity in their private life and the benefits of more easy public interactions outside the ethnic group. This study also illustrates how the institutional enabling of name change both creates and enables pragmatic assimilation.

%X This article presents results from the first longitudinal study with panel data on immigrant integration in Finland in 1997-2004. 457 immigrants from seven immigrant groups residing in the greater Helsinki area participated in the survey. Four areas of immigrant integration were investigated: socioeconomic integration, socio-cultural adaptation, psychological adaptation, and relationships between immigrants and majority population. The results support a view that among welleducated immigrants the integration process has advanced in a reasonably positive manner. Their employment status and Finnish language skills have improved, and the immigrants still strongly prefer integration as the way to adapt to the Finnish society. They also cherished their original culture by maintaining important family values and ethnic identities. However, despite these positive signs, the integration of immigrants appears to be a slow process: only after living in Finland for about ten years, individual differences in the level of psychological stress symptoms between immigrants had diminished, the immigrants considered their Finnish skills as satisfactory and their employment status had became moderately good. These results are discussed in the light of existing knowledge of immigrant integration in Finland and previous international studies on acculturation. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Tässä artikkelissa esitetään Suomen ensimmäisessä paneeliaineistolla toteutetussa pitkittäistutkimuksessa saatuja tuloksia maahanmuuttajien kotoutumisen ja sopeutumisen etenemisestä vuosina 1997-2004. Kyselytutkimukseen osallistui 457 maahanmuuttajaa seitsemästä eri pääkaupunkiseudulla asuvasta maahanmuuttajaryhmästä. Kotoutumista tarkasteltiin sosioekonomisen, sosiokulttuurisen ja henkisen sopeutumisen sekä maahanmuuttajien ja valtaväestön välisten suhteiden näkökulmista. Tulosten perusteella reilun vuosikymmenen ajan Suomessa asuneiden, melko korkeasti koulutettujen maahanmuuttajien kotoutumisprosessi näyttää myönteiseltä. Heidän työllisyystilanteensa ja suomen kielen taitonsa olivat parantuneet, ja maahanmuuttajat haluavat yhä vahvasti integroitua suomalaiseen yhteiskuntaan. He myös vaalivat omaa kulttuuriaan ylläpitämällä siihen kuuluvia tärkeitä perhearvoja ja etnistä identiteettiään. Kotoutumisen eteneminen näyttäytyi kuitenkin hitaana: vasta noin kymmenen vuoden Suomessa asumisen jälkeen oli tapahtunut maahanmuuttajien välisten stressierojen lievää tasaantumista, suomen kielen taito oli monen maahanmuuttajan omasta mielestä kehittynyt melko hyvälle tasolle ja työllisyysmahdollisuudet olivat parantuneet kohtuullisiksi. Näitä tuloksia peilataan sekä aiempaan tietoon maahanmuuttajien kotoutumisesta Suomessa että kansainvälisen akkulturaatiotutkimuksen tuloksiin.

%X In this article we examine the dominant assumptions that immigrant youth living in the working-class suburban areas in Oslo, Norway are marginalized and angry. We argue that there is no proof that immigrants living in the Oslo suburbs are alienated from society. Nor do we see any indications of some form of mobilization among this group. This dominant assumption is linked to a larger misperception about 'ghettos' in Oslo. The idea, that there are 'immigrant ghettos' in Oslo, has similarities with, and draws on public debates about 'immigrants' in other European cities and a broader international scholarly discourse. In this paper we show that teenagers and young adults in the most materially deprived areas in Oslo are not socially isolated, but actively participate in crucial mainstream institutions and arenas. We show that these youths have ideals, values, and ambitions that closely duplicate those of most Norwegian teenagers and young adults. We conclude therefore, that the young people labeled as 'immigrants' are not only integral members of Norwegian society, but co-producers of it.

%X PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore health from the perspective of young immigrants in Sweden.Design/methodology/approachA total of 25 newly arrived young immigrants attending Swedish language classes in northern Sweden participated by drawing and writing open letters. They continued the open-ended sentence “Now I’ll draw and describe a day when I was feeling good, that was […].”FindingsThe phenomenological analysis resulted in three themes: longing to be in control for a better life, searching for power in the good and the bad, and striving for a sense of belonging in the new society. The findings illuminate young immigrants’ perspectives of a health-promoting everyday life consisting of agency, reflection and a sense of community. The findings also highlight the young immigrants’ experiences when health-promoting aspects are lacking, characterized by disillusionment, anxiety and loneliness. The findings are discussed with health promotion, health literacy and young immigrants in mind.Practical implicationsAccording to young immigrants, meeting basic needs such as food, sleep and housing is health promoting but easily taken for granted. Being able to have a say in matters concerning everyday life, social inclusion and finding power in memories – positive and negative – can promote health in young immigrants.Originality/valueThe young immigrants were able to communicate via drawings and words to overcome language barriers.

MIGRANTS & Cities: The Accommodation of Migrant Organizations in Europe (Book)
Norway
%X Using ethnographic research in Norway and in Poland, this article focuses on the dynamics of multiple belongings of Polish migrants. It explores their experiences of belonging in relation to social class, gendered identities, and their different strategies of transnational mobility between Poland and Norway. By approaching belonging 'from below', we posit that it is a dynamic, processual, and socially and culturally constructed attachment to places, times, and communities, which includes experiential, practical, and affective dimensions. Considering the importance of questions of belonging and home-making in migrants' lives, always contextually produced and read through performative reiterations, we focus on migrants' daily routines and migratory practices, and argue that belonging is a multifaceted process, which takes on diverse forms and meanings of 'who' belongs to 'what', 'where' and 'when'. Following intersectional perspective, the article aims at problematizing dependencies between mobility, gender, class, and migrants' multiple belongings, and thereby, enhancing the understanding of the notion of belonging and its embeddedness in the inter-related social, cultural, economic, and political realms.

%X Recent sociological discussions have examined the classic theme of social integration from the point of view of belonging and multiple solidarities. As a research topic, migration importantly elucidates these general sociological questions. Literature on migration, integration and transnationalism lacks an encompassing theoretical model, which limits our understanding of complex integration processes. We propose a multifocal model of migrant integration including three key foci of integration: the host society; transnational sphere; and co-ethnic community in the host society. Moreover, the model considers integration in terms of different dimensions. With this model, we define multifocal marginalisation and study Russian, Kurdish and Somali migrants in Finland. We find that the different foci do not compete with each other, but are in a moderate positive relationship. There are clear group differences in integration patterns. Determinants of multifocal marginalisation include Kurdish background, weak Internet skills and older age. Discussion themes include belonging and social change.

%X The present article offers an account of Swedish integration policies in the post-war period. The theoretical purpose is to assess Christian Joppke’s hypothesis that recent trends of integration policy convergence have rendered the national model approach analytically useless. The analysis shows that Sweden deviates, in some important respects, from the European trend by not formulating demands that link integration achievements to immigrants’ access to fundamental rights. The conclusion is that the Swedish case does not support Joppke’s hypothesis, but rather indicates that path dependency of national models is a valid explanation to ongoing developments. It is argued that the Swedish exception should be understood as an expression of the persistent impact of a policy logic according to which integration requires that all citizens have equal and universal access to certain fundamental rights. The article builds on general comparisons with European policy developments and uses Denmark as a more specific reference point.

Cultural Diversity
%X This paper examines the creation of 'national day' in Sweden in order to understand how such a holiday works to shape the Swedish nation's relationship with diversity. Analyzing parliamentary debates and press coverage, the author finds that official national day coverage tends to invest the nation with progressive and multicultural meanings, foregrounding immigrant voices. However, this multiculturalism is polysemic, vague and subject to contestation, both from far right 'traditionalists' seeking to 'protect' Swedishness from outside influences and cosmopolitans who see the nation as outdated and dangerous. The creation of a new national holiday can be seen as a 'democratic iteration' wherein democracy is restated and reinvested with meanings, and new lines of cleavage are drawn, and also as a 'multicultural iteration' where multiculturalism is invested with new meaning. Finally, the author argues that multiculturalism benefits from polysemy in that the concept can then adapt to changing circumstances, and, thus, survive.

%X Since today's civil society in the Nordic countries is multiethnic, participants and mediators in restorative justice procedures often have diverse cultural backgrounds. This can lead to miscommunication, misunderstandings, and at worst re-victimization of the victim. This article aims to discuss the applicability of restorative justice theory and practices in crossculture mediation with a focus on migrant minorities such as immigrants and refugees in Finland and Norway. On the basis of case studies and interviews with mediators, administrative mediation staff, and project leaders in countries, relevant issues such as communication processes, prejudices and stereotypes, the role of the mediator and mediation models are discussed. The study explains advantages of restorative justice for minorities in Norway and Finland as well as the need of safeguards. It demonstrates that restorative justice theory is a concept of conflict resolution that is more easily accessible for minorities from certain ethnic groups than from others. Finally, the value of restorative justice for the social integration of minorities is critically discussed. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to problems of restorative justice for ethnic migrant minorities, not to provide 'handbook solutions'. In the course of this research project, it became clear that more systematic research is needed, including the perspective of participants in mediations, in order to enhance appropriate restorative justice practices for migrant minorities in the Nordic countries. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.

%X Following post-EU-accession migration, Poles currently form the largest group of foreign nationals in Norway and the second largest group of foreign born residents in the United Kingdom. Given the considerable volume of new arrivals, there is a growing literature on Polish migration to both countries; however, there is little comparative research on Polish migration across different European settings. By exploring how Polish migrants reflect on the possibilities of settlement or return, this paper comparatively examines the effects that permanent and ‘normalised’ mobility has on Polish migrants’ self-perception as citizens in four different cities. In addition to classic citizenship studies, which highlight the influence of a nation-state based institutionalised citizenship regime, we find that transnational exchanges, local provisions and inter-personal relationships shape Polish migrants’ practices of citizenship. The resulting understanding of integration is processual and sees integration as constituted by negotiated transnational balancing acts that respond to (and sometimes contradict) cultural, economic and political demands and commitments. The research is based on semi-structured interviews and focus groups with a total of 80 respondents, conducted in two British and two Norwegian cities that experienced significant Polish immigration, Oslo, Bergen, Bristol and Sheffield.

%X This study tested a model of factors predicting pre-acculturative stress among potential migrants from Russia to Finland prior to their migration (N = 244). By applying the theory of stress (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984), the model of acculturative stress (e.g., Berry, 2006) and the expectations model (e.g., [0045] and [0060] ) to the pre-acculturation stage, it was hypothesized that the potential migrants' pre-acculturative stress is a result of expectations about future (post-migration) adaptation. These expectations are developed through direct and indirect pre-migration contacts with, as well as knowledge about, the society of immigration. Three types of expectations during the pre-acculturation stage were studied: expected difficulties in socio-cultural adaptation, expected duration of adaptation, and expected discrimination. In line with the hypotheses, experiences of pre-acculturative stress clearly originated from the expectations that potential migrants had regarding their upcoming post-migration adaptation. Also, socioeconomic status, gender, general well-being, self-efficacy, perceived social support, and length of the pre-acculturation stage played important roles in predicting expectations and/or stress among the potential migrants. The study highlights that pre-acculturation is a complex process that begins at the pre-migration stage. It contributes to our understanding of pre-acculturation in general, as well as the factors affecting the formation of pre-acculturative stress among voluntary ethnic migrants. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

%X What happens when roots are replaced by routes? What happens when mobility becomes one of the primary tools for finding a niche in a different land and context? In an attempt to explore these themes, this paper touches upon emergent ideas regarding mobility, and delves into the inter‐connectedness of spatial and social mobility. Mobility signifies more than ‘movement’ and can act as a catalyst for enhancing life conditions. The study examines the debate over social exclusion, freedom, ethics, sustainable mobility and capability approach in the context of non‐western immigrants in Norway, and presents arguments from a social perspective to strengthen the mobility regime of immigrants. The study concludes that mobility provides capabilities to become active participants in the social and economic morphology of a society. It further suggests that societies need to adopt the framework of capability approach while examining issues related to the integration of immigrants into the host society.

%X The article examines the lived experiences of Burmese refugees in Norway in order to understand how they experience integration into local society and how they manage their transnational lives in new socio-economic, political, and cultural contexts. The examination is performed from the perspective of mobility as the entanglement of movement, representation, and practice. In teasing out the refugees' various experiences, the author emphasizes the diversity of migrant groups in terms of their ethnicity, religion, gender, and age, as well as multiple dimensions of mobilities. The complex politics of mobility – how different mobilities are produced, practised, and regulated in relation to issues such as transnational migration, diasporic cultures, and communication technologies – is seen as underlying the narratives of Burmese refugees in Norway. Their narratives equate mobilities with escape from poverty, highlighting the linkage that mobility has with poverty and development. The discussion reveals the potential for divisiveness within wider society in Norway, and it is argued that a nuanced understanding of how mobilities are differentially accessed within immigrant groups is essential for conceiving a multicultural society in Norway.

%X We investigated the psychological adaptation of Ingrian-Finnish migrants from Russia to Finland between 2008 and 2013. Pre-migration data (N = 225) were collected at the Finnish language courses that were part of the immigration training program. The three post-migration follow-ups were conducted half a year (N = 155), and 2 (N = 133) and 3 years (N = 85) after migration. Well-being was assessed with measures of Life Satisfaction and Self-Esteem. Life Satisfaction increased from pre-migration to the first post-migration measurement point, after which it stabilized. Self-Esteem decreased throughout the study. Variables reflecting adjustment to the event of migration (e.g., acculturation stress, socio-cultural adaptation) were primarily associated with well-being at the first post-migration measurement point. More general determinants of well-being (e.g., social support and subjective economic situation) were more consistently associated with well-being throughout the study. The results suggest that migration can be beneficial to some but detrimental to other types of well-being.

%X The growing role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in welfare service provision is sometimes portrayed as a threat to welfare state universalism in Nordic societies. In Finland, CSOs co-produce integration services alongside comprehensive official integration programmes, compensating for gaps and shortcomings in those services. We identify three “gaps”, which are (1) limited availability of services in terms of time and target group, (2) lack of direct labour market contacts and (3) limited flexibility to serve individual needs. We assess how CSOs target these gaps with their service offerings through qualitative interviews with policy implementers, CSO workers and migrants. However, CSOs’ role in labour market integration is inherently limited by their services being small scale, short term and project based. We find that due to their independence and limited role, CSOs operate synergistically with official services, extending rather than undermining universalism. © 2021, The Author(s).

%X This article explores why Somali immigrant women in Norway have a lower utilization rate of mental-health services compared to Somali men. Based on qualitative research, it argues that the maintenance of traditional gender ideals shapes barriers and opportunities for mental-health utilization. Discussing health beliefs and responses in relation to gender roles and integration, the study identifies different illness implications for Somali men and women. Whereas Somali women’s symbolic association with family accentuates perceived stigma, contributing to collective and individual concealments, higher utilization of mental-health services among Somali men is associated with social exposure. The findings suggest that research and outreach measures related to mental health require attention to immigrant women.

%X Migration, Family and the Welfare State explores understandings and practices of integration in the Scandinavian welfare societies of Denmark, Norway and Sweden through a comprehensive range of detailed ethnographic studies. Chapters examine discourses, policies and programs of integration in the three receiving societies, studying how these are experienced by migrant and refugee families as they seek to realize the hopes and ambitions for a better life that led them to leave their country of origin. The three Scandinavian countries have had parallel histories as welfare societies receiving increasing numbers of migrants and refugees after World War II, and yet they have reacted in dissimilar ways to the presence of foreigners, with Denmark developing tough immigration policies and nationalist integration requirements, Sweden asserting itself as a relatively open country with an official multicultural policy, and Norway taking a middle position. The book analyses the impact of these differences and similarities on immigrants, refugees and their descendants across three intersecting themes: integration as a welfare state project; integration as political discourse and practice; and integration as immigrants’ and refugees’ quest for improvement and belonging.

%X This article explores the early phase of dietary acculturation after migration. South Asian, African and Middle Eastern women (N = 21) living in Norway were interviewed about their early experiences with food in a new context. The findings pointed to abrupt changes in food habits in the first period after migration. To various degrees, women reported unfamiliarity with foods in shops, uncertainty about meal formats and food preparation and fear of eating food prohibited by their religion. Their food consumption tended to be restricted to food items perceived as familiar or safe. Our findings indicate that the first period after migration represents a specific phase in the process of dietary acculturation. Early initiatives aimed at enhancing confidence in food and familiarity with the new food culture are recommended.

%X This study focused on the complex process of adjustment and adaptation experienced by refugee parents from Eritrea who have settled in Aalborg, Denmark. Migration is a challenge to the sustainability of Nordic gender equality policies, in the face of cultural differences between refugees and host countries. This narrative study undertaken in the Eritrean community in Aalborg, Denmark took place against the background of cultural differences between the refugees and their host country, and Nordic gender equality policies. The study was done through the lens of parenting, to provide Eritrean refugee parents in Aalborg with the opportunity to share their lived experiences of settling in Denmark. The overarching aim of this study was to explore with Eritrean parents how they raise their children in a new country, as well as identifying both the challenges they face and the strengths which they bring to that role through their narratives. It aims to improve the understanding of what is significant to these parents during the process of their adaptation to a new environment. The role of refugees is well-established in their country of origin, but exposure to the Nordic Welfare Model which embraces women as being equal to men, is often problematic for Eritrean female refugees. Increasing cross-cultural knowledge in Denmark, through becoming aware of the lived experiences of the refugees as parents is important, particularly for those involved in social services that engage with this community. The study focused on the nature of challenges faced by Eritrean mothers experienced whilst integrating into Danish society. A semi-structured approach was used to obtain and analyze the data that was collected through interpersonal, qualitative methods in a narrative paradigm. The methodology was informed by initial focus groups meetings. Face-to-face engagement with the parents, utilizing an Eritrean interpreter as an integral part of the research team, was used. This study has highlighted the importance of engaging directly with refugee communities within their existing structures with a willingness to understand their culture. This approach may sit outside traditional research settings and service provision norms, but it informs more targeted, culturally appropriate, and acceptable interventions, which will assist the refugee community to effectively integrate into Danish society. The questions raised indicate an urgent need to recognize the cultural differences between refugees and host countries, and for this purpose to obtain more in-depth studies addressing this poorly examined area. © 2020 by the authors.

%X The present study evaluates the interplay between the effects of host countries' characteristics and self‐selection patterns of immigrants from a highly developed country on their economic assimilation in other developed countries. The focus is on immigrants originated from Germany during 1990–2000 who migrated to Sweden and the US. The results show that almost all German immigrants reached full earnings assimilation with natives of similar observed attributes, and that the assimilation of highly educated Germans was better than that of the less educated. It was also found that the skilled immigrants were compensated for their human capital acquired in Germany. Finally, the better assimilation of German immigrants, especially the highly educated, took place in the US. This finding was probably the result of an interaction between the Germans' pattern of self‐selection and the US context of reception.

%X Despite time being a key element in the theories on international migrants’ socio-spatial mobility, it has not been sufficiently addressed in empirical research. Most studies focus on discrete transitions between different types of neighbourhoods, potentially missing theoretically important temporal aspects. This article uses sequence analysis to study the residential trajectories of international migrants in Sweden emphasising the timing, order, and duration of residence in neighbourhoods with different poverty levels. It follows individuals of the 2003 arrival cohort during their first 9 years in the country. Results show that 81% of migrants consistently reside in the same type of neighbourhood; 60% consistently live in a deprived area and mere 12% follow a trajectories starting at deprived and ending at middle-income or affluent neighbourhoods. Thus, spatial assimilation is neither the only nor the most frequent trajectory followed by migrants in Sweden. Lastly, there are persistent differences in neighbourhood attainment between immigrant groups, suggesting either place stratification or ethnic preference.

%X ABSTRACT This article presents the possibilities and advantages of integrating social psychology and political science in the study of intergroup relations in diverse societies in Western Europe. Social psychology provides interesting insights in understanding the emotional and cognitive consequences of increased diversity. However, this literature tends to overlook the role of institutional discourses and correlated practices in stimulating or constraining positive intergroup relations. In order to fill these lacunae, the article suggests the integration of social psychology and a 'political opportunity structure' approach. This article maintains that the political opportunity structures operating in a context are not only important for understanding actors' mobilisation, as usually maintained in the literature, but also for studying the extent to which change at the micro-level of social interaction can be stimulated or constrained. We illustrate the arguments of the article with an analysis of the narrative constructions and the correlated practices of integration as adopted by the city councils of Malmö and Bologna.

%X PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore experiences and emotions of migrant women, who have been in psychotherapy in Sweden, their motives and experience of being treated in psychotherapy. The authors argue that not only traumas of the past but also social suffering in the post-migratory phase contribute to what brought them in contact with psychiatric care.Design/methodology/approachNarrative interviews with 12 migrant women, holding permanent residence permits, were conducted. The interviews were loosely structured around themes such as the experience of migration, of everyday living in Sweden, experiences of Swedish psychiatric care, and reflections and understandings of mental and physical health/ill health. Interview transcripts were analyzed thematically using abductive qualitative text analysis.FindingsIn the narratives an overarching motive for seeking out psychiatric help is the search for belonging and restoring a cohesive sense of self. Belonging is sought both in symbolic terms – formal access and right to health care – and in a deeper emotional sense as the therapist becomes a local adviser. The therapeutic encounter meets the human desire to be seen and confirmed as the person you are, and need to be, in the new host society. Meanwhile, psychotherapy as a way to negotiate belonging is also a risky endeavor, as the idealized view of the therapeutic relation may be disappointed.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides the interviewed migrant women’s perception of the psychotherapeutic relationship. Yet this relationship needs to be elaborated from different perspectives to improve understanding of psychotherapy in psychiatric care.Originality/valueThe paper fills a gap in research concerning the dominance of the psychiatric discourse over subjective understandings of health and illness, and how this relates to emotions of social suffering in the case of migrant women.

%X This article explores the interaction between migrant transnationalism and integration by interrogating the concept of integration from a transnational perspective. Integration is shown to be a multi-layered phenomenon, encompassing both descriptive and prescriptive elements—what is and what ought to be. The policies of individual nation-states define the legal-political dimensions of integration in particular contexts, at times contributing to a normative understanding of integration that presupposes a conflict between migrants' transnationalism and their integration, particularly along the socio-cultural dimension. A critical consideration of the implications of the multiple layers of integration for the individuals directly affected—that is, the migrants themselves—is proposed, and provides the basis for my examination. The data consist of 30 semi-structured interviews conducted with Pakistani migrants and their descendants in Norway, analysis of which reveals the existence of tensions between migrants' functional approach to integration on the one hand, and state policy on integration on the other, all pointing to unresolved issues related to citizenship and identity.

%X Employment of newly arrived migrants can be seen as one of the key aspects to managing both national labour market needs and the inclusion of individuals in both work and society. In Sweden, efforts to manage recent migration – for example, from Syria – has resulted in various labour market 'fast tracks' that aim to facilitate labour market integration. In this article, we consider how individual migrants attempt to negotiate the new national demands of professional identity to become teachers in Sweden by following a Swedish introduction course to teaching. The study builds on qualitative interviews and fieldwork following two different cohorts of students.

%X Previous research has pointed to the importance of expectations for the adaptation of immigrants. However, most studies have been methodologically retrospective with only limited possibilities to show the optimal relationship between migrants’ expectations and actual acculturation experiences for their wellbeing and other aspects of psychological adaptation. Moreover, previous research has been conducted mostly among sojourners and students. This longitudinal study focused on the relationship between premigration expectations and postmigration experiences of diaspora immigrants from Russia to Finland (N = 153). We examined how the fulfillment of premigration expectations in social (i.e., family relations, friendships, and free time) and economic (i.e., occupational position, working conditions, and economic and career situation) domains affects immigrants’ wellbeing (i.e., satisfaction with life and general mood) after migration. Three alternative models of expectation confirmation (i.e., disconfirmation model, ideal point model, and the importance of experiences only) derived from previous organizational psychological research were tested with polynomial regression and response surface analysis. In the economic domain, immigrants’ expectations, experiences, and their interrelationship did not affect wellbeing in the postmigration stage. However, in the social domain, the more expectations were exceeded by actual experiences, the better were life satisfaction and the general mood of immigrants. The results underline the importance of social relationships and the context-dependent nature of immigrants’ wellbeing. Interventions in the preacculturation stage should create positive but realistic expectations for diaspora immigrants and other groups of voluntary (re)migrants. Furthermore, policies concerning the postmigration stage should facilitate the fulfillment of these expectations and support the social adaptation of immigrants. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Les recherches antérieures ont fait ressortir l’importance des attentes dans l’adaptation des immigrants. Toutefois, la plupart des études ont employé une méthode rétrospective ayant des possibilités limitées pour montrer la relation optimale entre les attentes des immigrants et les expériences véritables d’acculturation pour leur bien-être et les autres aspects de leur adaptation psychologique. De plus, les recherches antérieures ont été menées pour la plupart auprès de résidents temporaires et d’étudiants. Cette étude, sous forme de suivi, était centrée sur la relation entre les attentes avant la migration et les expériences vécues après la migration des immigrants de la diaspora russe vers la Finlande (n = 153). Nous avons analysé comment la réalisation des attentes avant la migration dans les domaines sociaux (c’est-à-dire les relations familiales, les amitiés et le temps libre) et économiques (c’est-à-dire le poste professionnel, les conditions de travail et la situation économique et de carrière) ont un effet sur le bien-être des immigrants (c’est-à-dire la satisfaction avec la vie et l’humeur générale) après la migration. Trois modèles différents de confirmation d’attentes (c’est-à-dire le modèle de la non confirmation, le modèle du point idéal et l’importance des expériences seulement) dérivés de recherches antérieures en psychologie des organisations ont été vérifiés avec la régression polynomiale et l’analyse de surface de réponse. Dans le domaine économique, les attentes des immigrants, les expériences et leurs interrelations n’ont pas eu d’influence sur le bien-être au stade post-migratoire. Toutefois, dans le domaine social, plus les attentes étaient surpassées par les expériences vécues, plus grande était la satisfaction avec la vie et l’humeur générale des immigrants. Ces résultats soulignent l’importance des relations sociales et la nature de la dépendance du contexte du bien-être des immigrants. Des interventions au stade de la ré-acculturation devraient créer des attentes positives mais réalistes pour les immigrants de la diaspora et pour les autres groupes (ré)migrants volontaires. De plus, des politiques ayant trait au stade de la post-migration devraient faciliter la réalisation de ces attentes et soutenir l’adaptation sociale des immigrants. Investigaciones anteriores han señalado la importancia de las expectativas para la adaptación de los inmigrantes. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los estudios se han realizado retrospectivamente, con posibilidades limitadas de mostrar la relación óptima entre las expectativas de los inmigrantes y la experiencia real de adaptación cultural para su bienestar y otros aspectos de la adaptación psicológica. Asimismo, las investigaciones anteriores se han llevado a cabo mayormente entre inmigrantes temporales y estudiantes. Este estudio con seguimiento se focalizó en la relación entre las expectativas antes de emigrar y las experiencias después de la migración en inmigrantes de la diáspora rusa a Finlandia (N = 153). Se examinó de qué manera el cumplimiento de las expectativas previas a la migración en los ámbitos social (es decir, las relaciones familiares, las amistades y el tiempo libre) y económico (es decir, el puesto laboral, las condiciones laborales y la situación económica y profesional) afecta el bienestar de los inmigrantes (es decir, la satisfacción con la vida y el ánimo general) después de la migración. Se pusieron a prueba tres modelos alternativos de confirmación de expectativas (es decir, el modelo de no confirmación, el modelo del punto ideal y el que toma únicamente la importancia de las experiencias) generadas a partir de investigaciones previas de psicología laboral por medio de la regresión polinómica y el análisis de superficie de respuesta. En el ámbito económico, las expectativas y las experiencias de los inmigrantes, como también su interrelación, no afectaron el bienestar en la etapa post migrac ón. Sin embargo, en el ámbito social, cuanto más experiencias reales superaron las expectativas, mejor fueron la satisfacción de vida y el ánimo general de los inmigrantes. Los resultados enfatizan la importancia de las relaciones sociales y hasta qué punto depende el bienestar de los inmigrantes del contexto. Las intervenciones en la etapa pre adaptación cultural deberían crear expectativas positivas pero también realistas para los inmigrantes de la diáspora y otros grupos de inmigrantes voluntarios. Además, las normas respecto de la etapa post migración deberían facilitar el cumplimiento de estas expectativas y respaldar la adaptación social de los inmigrantes.

%X Purpose - The aim of this paper is to explore mental ill health among newly arrived immigrants to Sweden, in relation to their legal status and previous exposure to threats, violence and separation and to investigate how their health care needs were met. Design/methodology/approach - Records of health interviews and examinations performed January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011, in one of six eligible primary health care centers (PHCC) in Stockholm County, Sweden were analysed. Findings - In total, 555 records were collected and reviewed with regard to: age, sex, legal status (asylum seekers and others), exposure to threats and/or violence, exposure to separation from family member, symptoms or diagnoses, and measures taken. Reported symptoms of mental ill health were labeled mental ill health. Where health interviews led to medical examination, records from these were retrieved to investigate the care offered and given. Reporting symptoms of mental ill health was common (43 percent) among the study population. Exposure to threats and violence and separation was more common among asylum seekers who also tended to be more vulnerable to mental ill health than others who had experienced similar exposure. Practical implications - The health care system should consider the eco-social conditions that favor recovery. A more generous policy of access to health care among adult asylum seekers is needed and could be an important part of the social stability during the asylum process and in the integration process. Originality/value - The study demonstrates the need for more structured studies of mental health among asylum seekers in Sweden.

%X Background: Social inclusion measures are essentially related with health among foreign-born population (FBP). Municipal elections provide a way to participate in societal decision making even for those without Finnish citizenship. However, the voter turnout in municipal elections among FBP has remained low. The aim of this study is to explore mental health, migration and integration related factors’ associations with voting in municipal elections among FBP. Methods: Associations between self-reported municipal voter turnout and language skills, main reason for migration, psychological strain and sense of belonging (SB) to locals, country of origin and other groups were studied by using nationally representative data from the cross-sectional Survey on Well-Being among Foreign-Born Population (FinMonik, n = 6836). Weights were used to correct the sample. Age and sex were used as control variables. Results: Voter turnout was higher among those with: at least intermediate local language skills (39% vs. 25%, p < 0.001); those who moved because of family (42%), studies (39%) or refugee status (39%) versus those who moved because of work (23%, p < 0.001); no psychological strain (38% vs. 27%, p < 0.001); SB to locals and country of origin (45%) and SB to locals but no country of origin (43%) versus those with SB to country of origin but no SB to locals, or those with no SB to any of the groups presented (both 25% p < 0.001). Conclusions: Lack of language skills can be a barrier to participate in municipal elections. Migrating for family reasons might reflect commitment to stay in current country and therefore increase motivation to influence by voting. Moreover, lack of sense of belonging to locals and psychological strain might demotivate participation. Key messages: Factors hindering political participation can be manifold and need more studies to enhance participation across all groups. Attention should be paid to provide clear and sufficient information regarding municipal elections and candidates in several languages.

%X Objectives:The aim of this study was to examine, first, how past traumatic stress and present acculturation indices, and discrimination are associated with mental health; and, second, whether religiousness can buffer the mental health from negative impacts of war trauma. Method:Participants were 128 older (50–80 years) Somali refugees living in Finland. They reported experiences of war trauma and childhood adversities, and filled-in questionnaires of perceived ethnic discrimination, religiousness (beliefs, attendance, and observance of Islamic faith), and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive (BDI-21), psychological distress (GHQ-12), and somatization (SCL-90). Results:Symptom-specific regression models showed that newly arrived refugees with non-permanent legal status and severe exposures to war trauma, childhood adversity, and discrimination endorsed greater PTSD symptoms, while only war trauma and discrimination were associated with depressive symptoms. Results confirmed that high religiousness could play a buffering role among older Somalis, as exposure to severe war trauma was not associated with high levels of PTSD or somatization symptoms among highly religious refugees. Conclusion:Health care should consider both unique past and present vulnerabilities and resources when treating refugees, and everyday discrimination and racism should be regarded as health risks.

%X Increased immigration into Scandinavia warrants the need for knowledge about differential uses of urban spaces by populations with various cultural backgrounds and the conditions that support cross-cultural interactions in these spaces. Immigrants and native Norwegians in Tromsø and Bodø were encouraged to log information about locations where they spend time on online participatory maps, along with their basic demographic information. We ask (1) if the city spaces people use tend to differ based on region of origin, age and gender and (2) in which places cross-cultural interactions occur most. Main findings showed immigrants logged fewer locations related to sports and the outdoors than Norwegians, and immigrants logged more private business locations than Norwegians. Males, young participants, immigrants and participants from Tromsø indicated they engaged in cross-cultural interactions at logged locations more than females, older participants, Norwegians, and participants from Bodø. © 2021 The Author(s).

Emigrants and Immigrants
%X This three-wave study investigated the interplay between perceived socio-cultural adaptation and perceived willingness of the majority group to engage in contact, when predicting realistic and symbolic threats perceived by ethnic migrants from Russia to Finland. To sum up our key findings, the less immigrants perceived difficulties in socio-cultural adaptation soon after migration, the more positive were their later perceptions of the majority group members' contact willingness. Majority's perceived contact willingness was associated with lower levels of perceived realistic threats, and perceived contact willingness and perceived socio-cultural adaptation were both associated with lower levels of perceived symbolic threats. As regards practical implications of our findings for culturally diverse communities, equal efforts should be made to help newcomers' socio-cultural adaptation and to support their positive intergroup interactions with majority group members. That way, the beneficial impact of both of these factors on immigrant integration could be maximized. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

%X This article explores the role of schools in supporting unaccompanied young refugees in critical psychosocial transitions concerning processes of socialisation, integration and rehabilitation upon resettlement. Drawing from a qualitative research project based on interviews with students and staff conducted during fieldwork in five secondary schools in Norway, the findings suggest that the psychosocial support provided by schools is random and lacks a concerted effort among relevant professionals. Making schools refugee-competent calls for more comprehensive representations of refugee students and teachers, enhanced collaboration concerning psychosocial support as well as school-based interventions as an integral part of educational policy and practice.

%X Artikkelen beskriver noen av de utfordringene mennesker møter når de kommer til et nytt land som flyktninger eller asylsøkere, de problemene de møter og noen av de støttetiltakene som vil være vik- tige. Mange vil ha en bakgrunn som er preget av store omveltninger, stor grad av usikkerhet og erfaringer med grove overgrep og tap. Dette er forhold som gjør utgangspunktet til et sårbart utgangspunkt, og mye må skje før mennesker kan oppleve at den nye situasjonen er trygg og kan føre til et nytt liv med nye muligheter. I denne prosessen er støtte på en rekke områder nødvendig. Det å styrke familien og bygge nettverk, få meningsfull aktivitet i det daglige, muligheter for arbeid og utdanning samt helsetjenester, særlig når det gjelder de skadene mennesker kan ha fått etter tor- tur og unntaksforhold, er av stor betydning. Innsatsen i arbeidet med flyktninger bør være et tverr- faglig samarbeid i et spennende og viktig tverrkulturelt felt.

%X This study examined the impact of immigrant job applicants' private domain acculturation preferences on managers' evaluations of person-organization (P-O) fit and hiring decisions. We employed an experimental design and presented Norwegian managers (N = 74) with video-clips of three job applicants. One of the applicants' (target) ethnicity (Norwegian vs. Turkish) and private domain acculturation preferences (separated, assimilated, and integrated) were manipulated across four experimental conditions. Among the three applicants, the target applicant was presented as the best qualified. The results showed that the separated target was perceived as less similar to existing organizational members and the organization (i.e., lower supplementary P-O fit) than the three other targets, and as less valuable in terms of being different (i.e., lower complementary P-O fit) than the assimilated and the integrated targets. The separated target was rated significantly lower on hirability than the native and integrated targets. Despite the different hiring ratings, all targets received equal ratings on person-job (P-J) fit. The findings imply that managers placed a stronger emphasis on P-O fit than formal work competence when evaluating the separated target. Because private domain acculturation preferences can be deemed irrelevant for immigrant applicants' job performance, our results suggest a biased employment decision against the immigrant applicant expressing private domain cultural maintenance preferences.

%X Despite having a celebrated labor market integration policy, the immigrant-native employment gap in Sweden is one of the largest in the OECD. From a cross-country perspective, a key explanation might be migrant admission group composition. In this study we use high-quality detailed Swedish register data to estimate male employment gaps between non-EU/EES labour, family reunification and humanitarian migrants and natives. Moreover, we test if differences in human capital are able to explain rising employment integration heterogeneity. Our results indicate that employment integration is highly correlated with admission category. Interestingly, differences in human capital, demographic and contextual factors seem to explain only a small share of this correlation. Evidence from auxiliary regressions suggests that low transferability of human capital among humanitarian and family migrants might be part of the story. The article highlights the need to understand and account for migrant admission categories when studying employment integration.

%X Seks asylsøkere ved to asylmottak er intervjuet om hverdagslivet på mottaket og hvordan det påvirker velvære og psykisk helse. Asylsøkere har generelt høyere risiko for psykiske problemer og lidelser som følge av traumatiske opplevelser i hjemlandet og maktesløshet i ventetida. De seks respondentene som hadde bodde på mottak fra 8 måneder til 4 år hadde en kjedelig og inaktiv tilværelse. De hadde få norske venner, følte seg ensomme, maktesløse og engstelige med tanke på framtida. Situasjonen for asylsøkere kan forbedres ved å tilby arbeid, skolegang/utdanning og bedre norskopplæring. Dette vil ha en positiv innvirkning på opplevelsen av mening og kontroll over livet, bidra til å bevare god psykisk helse og redusere risikoen for psykiske lidelser.

%X Using the case of Odense (Denmark), this article explores how, in the process of devising and implementing integration measures, local authorities mitigate between the demands of national-level integration policies and the local realities. It shows that Odense's local authorities combined local resources into a variety of horizontal governance structures geared towards supporting refugees' integration, and engaged in vertical interactions responding to local priorities. The study finds that new governance structures emerging at sub-national create opportunities for refugees and help their integration. However, inequalities between national and sub-national levels may have negative consequences for refugees' integration outcomes.

%X The Nordic universalist welfare states place great value on promoting gender equality among immigrant minorities. Yet, as this article demonstrates, there is a tension in the Danish asylum regime between the gender mainstreaming objective that is prominent in the integration discourse and policy and the actual practices of migrant camp employees tasked with activation and preparing asylum seekers for integration into Denmark. Based on four extracts from a qualitative study of the Danish ‘activation’ program for adult asylum seekers, this study identifies the lack of structural and social support for familial care work as the main barrier to the equal access of women to the program’s activities (education and vocational training). I find that the objective of gender equality is thwarted by two primary frames: exceptionalism and bureaucratization. These intersect to reinforce ‘traditional’ gender roles and exclude asylum-seeking women with dependent relatives from out-of-home activities. The findings add to our understanding of how migrant women are excluded from citizenship through subtle and complex forms of power at play in cross-cultural encounters between migrant women and welfare state employees who are individualizing the responsibility for women’s success or failure. © 2020, © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

%X Among minority members, positive contact with the majority was previously found to improve not only the attitudes toward the majority but also the attitudes toward minority outgroups (the secondary transfer effect; STE). However, the roles of negative intergroup contact and minority groups' social status in the STE have not been yet examined. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the association between both positive and negative contact with the national majority group (Finns) and mutual attitudes among high-status Estonian (n = 171) and low-status Russian (n = 180) immigrants in Finland. Two mediators of the STE were tested: attitudes toward the majority (attitude generalization) and public collective self-esteem (diagonal hostility). While positive and negative STEs emerging via attitude generalization were expected to occur among both immigrant groups, the mediating effect of public collective self-esteem was assumed only for members of the low-status group. In both immigrant groups, the relationship between positive contact with the majority group and attitudes toward the other immigrant group was positive and indirect through more favorable attitudes toward majority group members. The same mechanism characterized negative contact, where the indirect effect was mediated by less positive attitudes toward Finns. As predicted, public collective self-esteem mediated the effects of positive and negative contact with majority group members on attitudes toward the other minority only among low-status Russian immigrants. The results call for the acknowledgement of different mechanisms explaining the STE among minority groups enjoying different social statuses in host society.

%X This article discusses how the values and aspirations of the neo‐liberal competition state (konkurrencestat) and self‐dependent society (selvstændighedssamfund) have affected recently arrived refugees in Denmark. Besides a stricter border regime, the so‐called ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015 also resulted in a new version of ‘integration’ in Denmark that emphasizes the values of responsibility (ansvar), self‐sufficiency (selvforsørgelse) and independence (uafhængighed), as refugees are expected to start working more or less from day one after their arrival. This has led to numerous creative integration programmes in Danish municipalities.

%X Following the record number of asylum seekers to Europe in 2015, Norway intensified its practice of revoking migrants' residence permits and citizenships, which primarily affected refugees and their families, and reflects a broader international trend of increased use of temporary protection. This article explores the effects of revocation on individuals, their families and wider communities by analysing how revocation is experienced and its consequences for integration processes. Drawing on the concepts of deregulariation, temporality and integration, our analysis builds on interviews with migrants from Somalia and Afghanistan living in Norway. We find severe consequences for individuals affected by revocation processes and discuss spillover effects, most notably what we refer to as disintegration. Our conclusions point to the need for futher analytical scrutiny of both the consequences of intensified revocation practices and their purported effectiveness as a measure to regulate immigration.

%X The aim of the present longitudinal study is to understand the longitudinal relation between depressive symptoms and daily hassles (i.e., general and acculturation hassles) in a high-risk population of unaccompanied refugees. We investigated the validity of three stress-mental health models: the stress exposure model, the stress generation model, and the reciprocal model. Data were collected from 918 unaccompanied refugees in Norway in three waves. Of the initial sample, the majority (82.1%) were male (M age = 19.01 years, SD = 2.54 years). The data were analyzed with auto-regressive cross-lagged modeling and latent growth curve modeling. The results supported the stress exposure model for the relation between depressive symptoms and acculturation hassles, indicating that acculturation hassles predicted the subsequent levels of depressive symptoms rather than vice versa. On the other hand, the reciprocal model was supported for the relation between depressive symptoms and general hassles indicating a bidirectional, mutual relation. Unconditional latent growth models further showed that depression level remained unchanged over time, while levels of acculturation and general hassles decreased. The implications for clinical practice and immigration policy are discussed.

%X Purpose: Research on Somali adolescent immigrants’ interactions with their new society and school context is pertinent to more deeply understand changes in their practices, values, and identity resulting from continued first-hand contact with the Swedish culture, known as acculturation, as this process has been shown to affect mental health. The aim of this study was to investigate Somali immigrant adolescents’ experiences of social inclusion and exclusion as well as their need for support in their efforts to acculturate into society and the school environment.Method: A qualitative explorative study was performed. Data were collected from six focus group discussions with 47 Somali immigrant adolescents living in Sweden. The data were analysed using thematic network analysis.Results: A global theme emerged from the analysis: longing for a sense of belonging. Two underpinning organising themes described the participants’ longing for a sense of belonging to society and school: experience of social exclusion andpathways of inclusion and acculturation. Each organising theme consisted of three or four basic themes.Conclusion: This study highlights several key considerations on how schools can help adolescents who have recently immigrated to Sweden achieve a sense of belonging.

%X Unaccompanied refugee minors are a particularly vulnerable group. The aim of this study is to increase our knowledge about possible pathways to well-being and integration for unaccompanied refugee minors as they strive to establish new lives in a host county. The present study followed a group of youth who fled to Norway without their caregivers at three time points; 6 months (n = 95; M age = 13.8, 80% boys), 2 years (n = 78; M age = 16.5, 83% boys), and 5 years (n = 47; M age 20.0, 83% boys) after arrival. Linear mixed effects models were used to assess whether age, gender, and trauma exposure prior to arrival were associated with levels and changes in symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS), depression, anxiety, and externalizing symptoms over time. Regression analyses were conducted to examine whether daily hassles, perceived social support, and new trauma experiences predict PTS, internalization, externalization, and somatization. The mean levels of depression had decreased significantly at 5 years, but mean levels of anxiety, PTS, and externalizing symptoms did not. Females and severely trauma exposed had higher levels of symptoms. Higher age was associated with less change in symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress over time. Five years after arrival, many still experienced clinical levels of mental health problems, and level of daily hassles was an important predictor. Support may be needed not only at arrival to handle mental health problems in general and posttraumatic stress in particular, but also after resettlement. Help to manage daily hassles may be especially important to ensure well-being and integration.

%X This study was a longitudinal investigation of the three different dimensions of long-term immigrant adaptation (i.e., psychological, sociocultural, and socioeconomic adaptation) and the relationships between them in an 8-year follow-up with panel data. The 282 respondents were immigrants in Finland, born between 1961 and 1976, coming from the former Soviet Union. The results suggest that the adaptation of these immigrants has developed favourably. In 8 years, the respondents had improved their Finnish language skills and their position in the labour market. No differences were observed in their levels of psychological well-being between the two assessments. Of the three adaptation dimensions assessed, sociocultural adaptation, measured as proficiency in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing Finnish, turned out to be the most significant predictor of the two other long-term outcomes of immigrant adaptation (i.e., socioeconomic and psychological)... (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] El estudio consistió en una investigación longitudinal sobre tres diferentes dimensiones de adaptación de inmigrantes a largo plazo (i.e. adaptación psicológica, sociocultural, socioeconómica) y la relación entre ellas en 8 años de seguimiento con los datos de grupo. Los 282 encuestados fueron inmigrantes en Finlandia procedentes de los países de la antigua Union Sovietica, nacidos entre 1961 y 1976. Los resultados sugieren que la adaptación de estos inmigrantes se desarrolló favorablemente. En ocho años, los encuestados han mejorado sus conocimientos del idioma finlandes y su posición en el mercado laboral. No se observó ningunas diferencias en su nivel del bienestar psicológico entre las dos evaluaciones. Entre las tres dimesiones de adaptación que fueron evaluadas, adaptación sociocultural, medida como aptitud de comprensión, habla, lectura y escritura en finlandes fue el predictor más significante de los resultados en otras dimensiones de adaptación de los inmigrantes a largo plazo (i.e. socioeconómica y psicológica). Particularmente, cuando mejor era el dominio inicial del idioma finlandes, mejores eran los resultados de adaptación socioeconómica y psicológica después de 8 años de residencia. Estos estudios demuestran la importancia de la evaluación en paralelo y longitudinal de diferentes resultados de adaptación de los inmigrantes para saber cuáles particulares dimensiónes de adaptación son las más críticas en el principio de aculturación para determinar el desarrollo. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Cette étude longitudinale a examiné trois différentes dimensions de l'adaptation à long‐terme de l'immigré (i.e., adaptation psychologique, socio‐culturelle et socio‐économique) et de la relation entre elles dans un suivi de 8 ans avec des données de panel. Les 282 répondants étaient des immigrés en Finland provenant de l'ancienne Union Soviétique nés entre 1961 et 1976. Les résultats suggèrent que l'adaptation de ces immigrants s'est développée favorablement. En huit ans, les répondants avaient amélioré leurs habiletés en finlandais sur le marché de travail. Aucune différence n'a été observée dans leurs niveaux de bien‐être psychologique entre les deux évaluations. Parmi les trois dimensions de l'adaptation évaluées, l'adaptation socio‐culturelle telle que mesurée par la capacité de comprendre, de parler, de lire et d'écrire le finlandais s'est avérée être le prédicteur le plus significatif des deux autres résultats à long‐terme de l'adaptation de l'immigré (i.e., socio‐économique et psychologique). Particulièrement, meilleure avait été la connaissance initiale du finlandais, meilleurs étaient leurs résultats de l'adaptation socio‐économiques et psychologiques après 8 ans de résidence. Ces résultats démontrent l'importance des évaluations parallèles et longitudinales de différents résultats de l'adaptation de l'immigré pour mieux étudier quelles dimensions particulières de l'adaptation sont les plus critiques au dà but de l'acculturation en matière de la détermination du développement positif et de l'adaptation à long‐terme de l'immigré.

%X What are the long-term differences in the propensity of immigrants to acquire destination country citizenship under different institutional contexts and how do these vary between migrant groups? This article draws on micro-level longitudinal data from administrative registers in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden—three countries with widely different and changing requirements for the acquisition of citizenship—to track the naturalization propensity of eight complete migrant cohorts (1994–2001) up to 21 years after migration. We find that after two decades in the destination country, cumulative naturalization rates vary remarkably with over 80 per cent of migrants in Sweden, two-thirds in the Netherlands, and only around a third in Denmark having acquired citizenship. We observe lower rates and delayed naturalization for migrants, especially among those with lower levels of education, after language requirements and integration tests were introduced in Denmark and the Netherlands. Dual citizenship acceptance in the Netherlands and Sweden, by contrast, is associated with durably higher citizenship acquisition rates, especially, among migrants from EU and highly developed countries. These findings highlight the long-term but conditional relevance of citizenship policy for immigrant naturalization.

%X This study focuses on the everyday life of immigrant women with chronic pain on long-term sick leave in Norway. Research has shown that rehabilitation of immigrant women with chronic pain might be challenging both due to their lack of linguistic competence, due to lack of sufficient confidence/trust in their employers and in health personnel and lack of knowledge/skills among health care personnel in meeting immigrants' special needs. The objective of the study was to explore how immigrant women on long-term sick leave in Norway due to chronic pain experience their illness and their relationships at work and in the family. This article has a qualitative design, using participant observation and in-depth interviews. Participant observations were carried out in an outpatient clinic and qualitative interviews were conducted after the rehabilitation period. A hermeneutic approach was used to understand the meaning of the narrated text. All the authors participated in the discussion of the findings, and consensus was obtained for each identified theme. The research was conducted at an outpatient clinic at a rehabilitation hospital in the southern part of Norway. The clinic offers wide-ranging, specialized, multidisciplinary patient evaluations that last between 24 and 48 h, followed by advice and/or treatment either individually or in a group, i.e. in a rehabilitation course. Participants (immigrant women) who had been referred to the outpatient clinic and to a rehabilitation course were recruited. Fourteen African and Asian women were observed in two rehabilitation courses, and eleven of them agreed to be interviewed once or twice (3). The interpretation revealed the following two main themes: 'Shut inside the home' and 'Rejected at the workplace'. Based on the women's experiences, a new understanding emerged of how being excluded or not feeling sufficiently needed, wanted or valued by colleagues, employers or even by family members rendered their daily lives humiliating and lonely. The immigrant women on long-term sick leave live in triple jeopardy: being ill and being lonesome both at home and at the workplace. This can be described as a vicious circle where the humiliating domestic and workplace-rejection might reinforce both the women's experience of shame and avoidance of telling anybody about their illness/symptoms, which then results in more days on sick leave during which they are again isolated and lonesome. There is a need for more research on multidisciplinary rehabilitation approaches designed to cater for immigrants' special needs.

%X Integration och särskilt etablering på arbetsmarknaden för migranter står högt på dagordningen i den politiska debatten. I artikeln fokuseras centrala aktörers integrationsarbete i förhållande till nationella riktlinjer och lokala förutsättningar i tre rurala kommuner. Analysen visar att det huvudsakligen är det rurala i förhållande till det urbana som tycks avgörande för de tre kommunerna, samt att lokala innovativa lösningar nyttjas för att främja etablering och möjliggöra för migranter att stanna och verka på orten. Nationella riktlinjer tycks både verka som stimulerande drivkrafter och förhindrande, begränsande strukturer som är opålitliga och kortsiktiga i ett sammanhang där tidsperspektivet är centralt.
Labour market integration is an urgent matter in the political debate. This article focuses on key actors’ integration work in three rural municipalities in relation tonational guidelines and local conditions. The analysis shows that it is mainly the rural in relation to the urban that seems crucial for the municipalities, and that local innovative solutions are used to promote establishment and enable migrants to stay and work in the community. The National guidelines seem to act as both stimulating drivers and preventive, limiting structures that are unreliable and short-termed in a context where the time perspective is central.

%X Intending to support the cultural integration of unaccompanied refugee minors into the Swedish society, the Save the Children charity organization arranged meeting places in 2018 in four municipalities in Sweden. The mentors for the activities at these meeting places were recruited among former refugees who themselves had arrived in Sweden as unaccompanied minors. The study aimed to explore the experiences of being a mentor offering peer support to unaccompanied minor refugees at the meeting places. In this study, four semi-structured group interviews were conducted at the meeting places with 14 mentors, also former refugees. Data were analysed using thematic network analysis. Although the respondents expressed frustration concerning the Swedish migration politics, they all perceived the helping role as of utmost importance and connected this to positive emotions. The study highlights the unique contributions of peer support to the integration process of refugee minors by mentors providing social support, sharing experience-based knowledge and helping minors to navigate an often confusing and complex welfare system.

We demonstrate that aspirations and capabilities may be used to study the lives of refugees (and immigrants) before, during, and after migration and that through a sequential study of aspirations it is possible to determine how refugees come to envision possible life trajectories in destination countries. Understanding the relevance of refugees' aspirations and the effects that other actors have on these is important to recognize refugees' active role in shaping migration and integration dynamics.

%X This study investigates the extent to which immigrant groups are integrated in the Stockholm region through an analysis of their housing careers. Housing conditions are linked to many important life course events, as well as to the resources and preferences of each individual family. Housing conditions influence integration, but factors related to integration can also be a cause of housing conditions. In the study, we take a truly longitudinal approach to housing careers by exploring differences in the timing of career-related events between several immigrant groups and native Swedes. The objective of the study is to explore whether the housing careers of immigrant groups follow family and work careers in a similar way as the native population. The data are derived from a longitudinal individual-level register-based data-set maintained by Statistics Sweden. The analysis is carried out by way of survival analysis. Our results confirm that there are substantial ethnic differences in housing careers that cannot be attributed to family composition or career. Our results also highlight three important factors that reduce the differences between native Swedes and immigrants groups in the tendency to enter homeownership: university degree, type of municipality and duration of stay in Sweden.

%X Posttraumatic symptoms were assessed by means of the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire among 27 severely traumatized refugees from the former Yugoslavia in psychiatric treatment and then 3 years later, after an average of 5.5 years in Sweden. At follow-up the subjects also answered a questionnaire about their life situations. No significant change in average symptom level had taken place at follow-up. Seventeen subjects met the DSM IV criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at both times. However, five subjects who met the PTSD criteria in the first study did not at follow-up, and the opposite was true for another five subjects. Fifteen subjects reported contact with psychiatric care during the past year. Unemployment and dependence on social welfare were high at follow-up. The unemployment rate of 32% was almost six times greater than that for the regular Swedish labor force but comparable to that of the whole Bosnian labor force in Sweden. Social contacts with the majority population were as common as with compatriots, but two-thirds of the subjects expressed a wish for more social contacts outside the family. Positive factors in the subjects' life situations were the housing situation and the fact that most subjects had at least reasonable knowledge of the majority language. However, a minority of the group still had no formal competence in Swedish, with negative consequences for labor market integration and social contact with Swedes. Two-thirds of the group had made no definite decision to stay in Sweden.

%X Complex and multi-layered socio-economic and cultural challenges face refugee parents resettling in a new country. The aim of this study was to describe refugee mothers and fathers' experiences of parenthood by lifting up their own voices, illuminating the challenges they face and laying the basis for designing interventions to provide well-informed and culturally tailored support programmes for families in need. The study combined narrative research with focus group discussions with 50 refugee mothers and fathers in Sweden. Data were analysed inductively using thematic analysis. The main theme identified: Navigating the changing landscape of parenthood, captured refugee parents' experiences of navigating their parenthood through the new socio-political, cultural, and economic setting in Sweden. The study results demonstrated how acculturation challenges undermined the role of parents, threatened the family cohesion and led to alienation of children from their parents. Despite the plethora of challenges faced by families, parents struggling to navigate two differing cultural paradigms, envisioned a path of dialogue and reconciliation between newcomers and the host society as a way to foster true integration and understanding between immigrant and native communities.

%X Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore how individual legislators perceive unaccompanied minors seeking asylum, their life situation, needs and best interests. Design/methodology/approach – The total number of participants were 15. Thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2006) was used in order to identify and analyze patterns in the interview data. The authors focused on their responses to the questions about the best interest of the child in migration policy and practice, and how this principle was related to unaccompanied children seeking asylum. Findings – The main finding is that chronological age becomes a key sign for how legislators understand the life situation, needs and best interests of unaccompanied children. Also, the findings from this study suggest that the moralizing welfare ideology of the past is still present in political discourse and social planning, construing unaccompanied minors as an ambivalent category between civilization and savagery. The findings from this study indicate that legislators enact reforms of importance for unaccompanied children without considering them as agents of their own future, with their own motives and reasons to seek asylum. Practical implications – The findings from this study indicate a need to adapt the understanding of the existing Aliens Act (SFS 2005:716) to the knowledge that unaccompanied minors need to be assessed on their own terms. Originality/value – This study contributes to increasing the understanding about how the subjective values of legislators may have influenced migration reform in Sweden that can be valuable to both legal and social research, as well as policy planners.

%X This article focuses on adult learning in labour-market projects targeting unemployed migrants in Sweden. Drawing on a Foucauldian analysis of governmentality, the results of the study problematize the ways that such projects produce individualizing discourses – targeting individuals, constructing them as responsible for their position as unemployed. The project’s target groups are generally defined not on the basis of ethnicity as such, but rather using terms such as non-Nordic background, foreign born and immigrants. However, two groups considered especially problematic are constructed through ethnicity: Somali and Roma people. The notion of social competency is analysed here as a way of constructing the unemployed migrants as not yet employable. Another significant result concerns the notion of gender equality, which makes migrants governable because it constructs boundaries between Swedishness and Otherness. In line with this rationality, the targeted migrants are governed towards Swedishness through learning gender equality. These results raise a number of issues of great concern for the inclusion of migrants in the labour market, as they highlight a paradoxical relationship between the inclusive ambitions of interventions targeting unemployed migrants and the ethnicized discourses of ‘Othering’ that imbue these learning practices. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.

%X Courses for migrants in Europe are mostly aimed at literacy in western languages as a means for participation in society. These curricula are not suitable for migrants without previous basic education, which leaves groups of migrants vulnerable to alienation and without support for social integration. The IDEAL-programme (Integrating Disadvantaged Ethnicities through Adult Learning), which takes a participatory didactic approach and in which daily personal and family life is the starting point for learning, was provided and evaluated in the Netherlands and Sweden in 2011-2013. The participants (N = 16) were migrant mothers of Berber and Arabic origin without formal educational experience. The teachers shared the same background and served as role model facilitators and social brokers. Through exploring their personal narratives, the participants showed new insights, skills, and attitudes on the topics of communication, health and parenting. All participants showed progress in language acquisition and participation in society. The Dutch group of migrant mothers reported to use less physical punishment and threats to their children, and to practise more positive parenting skills instead. Literacy oriented programmes for social integration are not suitable for all migrants and do not encourage acculturation. The proposed method offers a feasible alternative, so that migrants may be more adequately supported in their efforts for social integration in receiving societies. In order to advance the future development of participatory programmes for civic education, several key intervention design principles and political conditions are discussed.

%X In Denmark, the practice of transnational arranged marriages among immigrants has stirred debate on several levels of society. One effect of the debate is a tightened regulation of family formation migration, seen as an effective means both of limiting the number of immigrants and of furthering processes of social integration. Within media-based and political debates, transnational marriages are frequently described as practices destructive both to individual freedom and to Danish national identity. Nonetheless, it is a practice in which both minority and majority citizens engage, one that frames both their family lives and their lives as citizens. This article analyses the dynamic relationship between public discourse and practices of transnational marriage. The first part describes how political and legislative perceptions of transnational (arranged) marriages are situated within a discussion of 'Danishness'. The second part describes how second-generation immigrants from Turkey and Pakistan, all of whom have married someone from their country of origin, articulate how public discourse on transnationally arranged marriages affects their lives. This part particularly focuses on the informants' expressions of autonomy and choice and their adaptations of such concepts to understandings of social belonging, inclusion and identity formation vis-a-vis the Danish nation-state.

Drawing from ethnographic interviews and observations, analysis focuses on adolescents' (a) views on ethnic and national identity; (b) general perceptions of Chileans and Swedes; and (c) attitudes toward Spanish, Swedish, and Spanish-Swedish code-switching. Interview discourse of these adolescents, and their metalanguage in particular, provides insights concerning how transmigrant adolescents position themselves within their complex social niche. Our findings suggest that Chilean adolescents are in the process of constructing an identity that is both Swedish and Chilean; they also point to the importance of individual factors, such as the adolescents' gender and age of arrival, and contextual factors, such as legal status, in shaping the discourse on identity.

%X In many European countries, integration policies focus on getting refugees quickly into the labour market. In order to accomplish this, refugees in Denmark are placed in work internships. Based on fieldwork in an integration programme that combines mandatory Danish language classes with so-called "language internships", where refugees do work internships for the purpose of learning Danish at work, the present study takes a critical look at discourses and positionings related to refugee access to the Danish labour market. The study finds clear evidence of an employability discourse which emphasises individual responsibility for employment while downplaying structural factors. Paradoxically, the employability discourse positions the refugees on the one hand as unemployable because of their lack of Danish language competence and hence as marginalised and relatively powerless. On the other hand, in this same discourse, they are repeatedly positioned as agents responsible for creating their own opportunities, including employment opportunities, while the language internships are constructed as a means of gaining employment and being able to leave the unemployment system. By investigating acts of positioning by participants in the integration programme and comparing them with discourses on language, work and integration in Denmark, the study concludes that despite intentions about the internships leading to employment and thus empowerment, the language internships lead to decapitalisation and marginalisation for the refugee participants.

%X Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of “Korta Vägen” (The short cut), a targeted language program for qualified migrants in Sweden, in self-maintaining, well-being and perspectives for socio-economic integration for foreigners with academic diploma.Design/methodology/approach In-class observations, individual semi-structured interviews, focus-group interviews and written essays were used for data collection. A thematic analysis was applied as a method of data analysis. Amartya Sen’s capability approach constituted a theoretical framework of the research discussion.Findings Korta Vägen provides various resources for the participants, some of which (language training and internship) can become real advantages for employment. Others (IT, interview training and CV writing) are less translatable into concrete outcomes. The study suggests that satisfaction with the program is modulated by commitment to one’s professional identity, initial language proficiency, scope of cultural knowledge, the participants’ goals and the flexibility of the training offered. The acculturation frame of the program does not necessarily correspond with the objective need of many participants for quick entry into the labor market.Originality/value Insights into the social-psychological aspects of targeted language training as a measure for socio-economic integration can serve to enhance educational and institutional policies and professional practice.

%X Purpose: In this article, we focus on the language introduction (LI) programme for newly arrived migrants aged 16–19 in Sweden. We ask how it is organized for inclusion and what kinds of exclusion arise from such an organization. More specifically, we ask the question: in what ways do different settings for LI exclude at the same time as they include?Method: Drawing on Lister’s approach to inclusion and exclusion, we analyse interviews with students, teachers and principals at five schools that deliver the LI programme: two municipality-run upper secondary schools, two folk high schools, and one independent upper secondary school.Result: We illustrate that the question of inclusion and exclusion is not a matter of either/or. Rather, these processes coexist and include several dimensions, including rights and responsibilities, participation, and belonging.Conclusion: We argue that, in order to create an understanding of school as a place for inclusion (and exclusion), we need a broad approach that makes it possible to identify these different dimensions, and how they are related.

%X This article explores how unaccompanied young refugees living in a rural village in Sweden make sense of home and belonging. From a post-structuralist approach, belonging and home are understood as ongoing processes that are negotiated with others, and via processes of othering and racialisation. This article demonstrates that the form of housing available, together with experiences of social exclusion in the village, may contribute to othering and thus challenge their feelings of home and belonging. However, they do construct some kinds of belonging and feelings of home based on social relationships and places that they have access to.

%X Background: Due to the circumstances of their early lives, young refugees are at risk of experiencing adverse labour market and health outcomes. The post-settlement environment is thought to play a decisive role in determining how this vulnerability plays out. This study compared trends in labour market marginalisation in young refugees and their majority peers during early adulthood in two national contexts, Denmark and Sweden, and explored the mediating role of common mental disorders and secondary school completions. Methods: Using registry data, 13,390/45,687 refugees were included in Denmark/Sweden and 1:5 matched to majority peers. Inequalities in labour market marginalisation were investigated during 2012–2015 in each country using linear probability models and mediation analysis. Country trends were standardised to account for differences in observed population characteristics. Results: The risk of marginalisation was 2.1–2.3 times higher among young refugees compared with their majority peers, but the risk decreased with age in Sweden and increased in Denmark for refugees. Birth-cohort differences drove the increase in Denmark, while trends were consistent across birth-cohorts in Sweden. Differences in population characteristics did not contribute to country differences. Common mental disorders did not mediate the inequality in either country, but secondary school completions did (77–85% of associations eliminated). Conclusions: The findings document both the vulnerability of young refugees to labour market marginalisation and the variability in this vulnerability across post-settlement contexts. While the contrast in policy climates in Denmark and Sweden sharpened over time, the risk of marginalisation appeared more similar in younger cohorts, pointing to the importance of factors other than national immigration and integration policies. Institutional efforts to assist young refugees through secondary education are likely to have long-lasting consequences for their socio-economic trajectories.

A central issue is how belonging to a certain settlement cohort, duration of residence in the receiving country, and observation period affect the chance of being employed. The effect of changing business cycles is also addressed. Earlier conceptions that macroeconomic conditions at the time of settlement are more important for the chance of employment than duration of residence are tested and refuted.

%X This study estimates the labor market effects of a work-first policy aimed at speeding up the labor market integration of refugees. The policy added new requirements for refugees to actively search for jobs and to participate in on-the-job training immediately upon arrival in the host country, Denmark. The requirements were added to an existing policy that emphasizes human capital investments in language training. The results show that the work-first policy speeded up entry into regular jobs for men, but they find work in precarious jobs with few hours. Long-run effects are uncertain since the policy crowds out language investments but raises enrollment in education. The policy had no or very small effects for women, which is partly explained by a lower treatment intensity for women.

%X Formålet med denne litteraturgjennomgangen er å undersøke hva vi vet om innvandrerkvinners tilknytning til arbeidslivet i Norge med utgangspunkt i forskning publisert de siste tiårene. Rapporten tar for seg studier som ser på kvinner født i utlandet og kvinner født i Norge med utenlandske foreldre. Vi konsentrerer oss mest om forskning om det norske arbeidsmarkedet, men inkluderer også studier fra de andre nordiske landene, i tillegg til forskning fra andre land som det er relevant å sammenligne Norge med. Spesifikt undersøker vi hvordan sysselsetting blant innvandrerkvinner har utviklet seg over tid og mellom grupper, hvilke barrierer som hindrer arbeidsmarkedsdeltakelse for denne gruppen, og hvordan tiltak kan bidra til å øke yrkesdeltakelse. Etter en gjennomgang av litteraturen om disse tre forskningstemaene oppsummerer vi hovedfunnene og identifiserer videre kunnskapsbehov.

%X Norge blir et stadig mer flerkulturelt samfunn, og antallet eldre med innvandrerbakgrunn vil øke i årene framover. Overordnet mål for prosjektet har vært å utvikle ny kunnskap og nye forslag til hvordan skape gode kulturelle møteplasser mellom eldre med innvandrerbakgrunn og etnisk norske eldre der felles kulturaktiviteter skal bidra til økt inkludering i lokalsamfunnet. I prosjektet er det brukt flere metodiske tilnærminger og analyser: Helseundersøkelsen i Nord-Trøndelag (HUNT3 og 4), Levekårsundersøkelsen for innvandrere 2016 og intervju med innvandrere og andre med kunnskap om temaet. Resultatene viser at terskelen for å delta i etablerte kulturaktiviteter oppleves som høy. For at eldre med innvandrerbakgrunn skal delta på nye arenaer, er det viktig å etablere lavterskeltilbud. Typen aktivitet er ikke av så stor betydning i første omgang, så lenge aktiviteten inneholder samhandling og interaksjon. Det er viktig å etablere tillit, og i tillegg ha fokus på informasjon, sted aktivitetene gjennomføres (lokalsamfunnet) og kostnader. Dersom kultur-aktivitetene skal bidra til økt inkludering forutsetter det også at nordmenn deltar på felles aktiviteter og arrangement. Å kunne det norske språket går igjen som en av de viktigste barrierene for inkludering og deltakelse. For de som ikke kan språket vil det derfor være viktig at kulturtilbudene formidles på ulike språk og gjennom flere ulike kanaler som inkluderer både sosiale medier og personlig kontakt. Prosjektet er et samarbeid mellom Trondheim kommune, SINTEF, Nord Universitet og HUNT Forskningssenter, og er finansiert av Regionalt Forskningsfond Midt.

%X The art of choosing the right tram – A study of urban segregation, choice of school and young people’s life plansWhen discussing barriers to integration and young people’s choice of school, research often focuses on language skills, cultural capital, supportive environments and other more obvious, distinct and material aspects that have an impact on educational achievement. In the present study, we have instead chosen to look at how young immigrants construct their inner career landscapes and life-plans, and how this relates to their perception of ethnicity, neighbourhood and identity. The sample used here consists of altogether twenty individuals. The interviews were used to explore certain designated dimensions and processes. All interviews were conducted in the school environment, in classrooms and other locations. The students attended two different inner-city schools. A narrative-sociological approach is used in the analysis. The young people’s perceptions and narratives are analysed in relation to concepts such as: territorial stigmatization, identity, self-perception and modifications of life plans. The findings show that the feelings of otherness which originates in housing conditions, experiences of exclusion and the everyday life of many immigrants, are transposed into the school area and transformed into strategies and life plans.

%X This article contributes to theoretical discussions on how immigrant integration is produced as a part of redefining national policy to local everyday practice, and what this tells us about the society in which the policy is formed. Integration is from this perspective a way to understand imagined social communities, how they are produced, who is considered to belong, and who is not. Document analysis and interviews with immigrants, local politicians, and officials in small- and medium-sized Swedish towns give insights into both what taken-for-granted assumptions the integration policy builds on and reproduces, and what consequences the integration policy have for the persons the policy is intended for. It is shown that the Swedish integration policy is itself a part of the production of a Swedish space as a container with closed doors, where immigrants are not given equal access and possibilities. This is created by putting sameness and difference at the core of the integration policy and by describing integration as an act of entering the Swedish space.

%X Norske kvinner er i verdenstoppen når det gjelder deltagelse i arbeid. Samtidig er yrkesdeltagelsen blant innvandrerkvinner klart lavere enn blant majoritetskvinner. Likestilling og kvinners yrkesdeltagelse er en sentral bekymring i debatten om innvandring og integrering. Det handler blant annet om en frykt for at innvandrerne har med seg kulturelle verdier som truer den norske likestillingsmodellen, og en bekymring for velferdsstatens bærekraft og økende ulikhet hvis store grupper blir stående utenfor arbeidslivet. Her ser vi på hvordan mønstrene i yrkesdeltagelse faktisk ser ut, hva som er mulige forklaringer på forskjellene mellom innvandrere og befolkningen ellers, og om vi finner endringstendenser over tid.

%X Living with strangers is a feature of modern life, typically conceptualised in urban contexts in terms of anonymity and diversity. Strangers in small places, on the other hand, have received less attention; possibly, because there is an assumption that such places are relatively stable, static or homogenous. In small places, typically characterised by high levels of familiarity and close social networks, strangers may have different experiences. Therefore, we are concerned with immigration to small places and feeling strange in such settings. We employ the concepts of the stranger and place-belongingness to understand the experiences of immigrants to the Faroe Islands. The findings from this interview-based study are structured around three main themes. In the first, strangers in places characterised by high familiarity, we discuss how informants experience and navigate Faroese networks. In the second, negotiating place-belongingness, the discussion focuses on how immigrants negotiate belonging and how relations, security, and time, impact place-belongingness. The third theme, boundaries of belonging, refers to the politics of belonging. In this theme, we discuss how language and identity are key sites of tension in creating boundaries, determining who belongs versus who is rendered a familiar stranger. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

%X Using the theoretical framework of the concept of civic social capital and based on interviews with members or ex-members of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, in Finland, this article deals with the different ways in which this movement has tried to integrate South Asian Hindus into its activities. Interestingly enough, while most of the strategies adopted by ISKCON Finland have failed individually, the movement has nevertheless been able to create and maintain a very strong position in the Hindu landscape in Finland. By comparing such local practices with international trends within ISKCON and the history of ISKCON's strategies for integrating South Asian Hindus internationally, the article highlights differences between the two arising from both local conditions as well as the individual agency of local leaders. Further, the article also touches on issues such as 'Hinduisation' and 'templeisation' that other scholars have raised, offering examples that go against the grain of much of the development both within ISKCON and Hindu diasporas today.

%X This study extends macro-structural research on international migration flows by going beyond conventional economic, demographic, and geographic explanations. Prior extensions suggest that migrants are drawn to places where welfare benefits are generous. I test the welfare magnet hypothesis while proposing an alternative explanation for migration: the prospect for inclusion. The analysis uses a comprehensive point-to-point migration dataset for a sample of robust welfare states, the universalist countries of Nordic Europe, and similarly positioned destinations representing other welfare types to examine destinations' commitments to inclusion, humanitarianism, and welfare generosity. Results reveal no evidence for a magnet effect to the most generous welfare states in the world net of other recognized factors, and even suggest a negative influence linked to the region's high cost of living. Migrants are instead drawn by the promise of social and political inclusion, migrating to destinations where co-ethnics have become full-fledged citizens. Additional evidence points to the role of international commitments to humanitarianism in augmenting flows. Findings integrate insights on contexts of immigrant reception with research on migration flows, thus contributing to a political sociology of immigration and citizenship and opening new avenues for research on the determinants of migration to newer, more distant locations.

%X The purported effects ]of concentrations of immigrants and poverty within cities on inclusion in the labour market are intensively discussed among politicians and researchers. This study uses a multilevel approach to analyse a large longitudinal dataset in Stockholm. The results confirm previous research that concludes that only a small fraction of socioeconomic output can be considered to be a result of neighbourhood origin. Moreover, it is concluded that economic characteristics of neighbourhoods have a larger impact than ethnic ones. Growing up in a wealthy area adds to the risk of having a low income at 24 and 25 years of age, but growing up in a poor area adds to the risk of being unemployed. © 2009 Urban Studies Journal Limited.

%X Policies, strategies and curricula promoting equal citizenship, however, seem not to be effective enough in terms of transborder citizenship. This chapter, based on interviews conducted among skilled first-generation Cameroonian immigrants in Finland, presents results of a research concerning migration from Africa to the Global North. The empirical data is qualitative, and semi-structured face-to-face interviews and narrative reports were collected in the Finnish capital region (Helsinki area). The analysis of this data attempts to describe the respondents’ understanding of integrating in their host country, their concepts of identity and integration and what determines their levels of understanding. The findings suggest that the respondents are not as properly integrated to the mainstream society as they would like to be, in terms of having a labour market position matching their educational qualifications, often pointing to the visible aspect of their identity (i.e. being black) as their main reason of marginalisation. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.

%X Previous research has suggested that dual and superordinate identities are not only prerequisites of collective action among minority group members but they can also be associated with greater acceptance of the ingroup's disadvantaged position. In this three-wave study among Ingrian Finnish migrants from Russia to Finland (N=153...-85...), we tested the indirect association between superordinate national identification (T1) and support for collective action (T3), via perceived permeability of group boundaries (T2). Support for collective action was operationalized as one's personal willingness, and the perceived need of the Russian-speaking community, to engage in it. When controlling for the direct association between Russian minority identification and support for collective action, perceived permeability was shown to mediate the negative association between Finnish national identification and support for community's collective action. Thus, being close to the majority may make immigrants perceive group boundaries as more permeable and be less inclined to improve their group's position.

%X Objectives'. The current aim is to examine the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) among Thai women residing in Sweden and its association with mental health. We also investigate the potential influence of social isolation and social capital regarding the association between IPV and mental health outcome. Design: A public health questionnaire in Thai was distributed by post to the entire population of Thai women, aged 18-64, residing in two regions in Sweden since 2006. Items included aspects related to IPV (physical/sexual/emotional), sociodemographic background, physical health, mental health (GHQ-12), social isolation, and social capital (i.e. social trust/participation). Results: The response rate was 62.3% (n = 804). Prevalence of lifetime reported IPV was 22.1%, with 20.5% by a previous partner and 6.7% by a current partner. Previous IPV exposure was significantly related to current IPV exposure, and all IPV exposure measures were significantly related to poor mental health. However, Thai women experiencing IPV by a current partner were more at risk for poor mental health than Thai women with previous or without any experience of IPV. Also, among all women exposed to IPV, those with trust in others and without exposure to social isolation seemed to have partial protection against the adverse mental health consequences associated with IPV. Conclusions: Most Thai women had never been exposed to IPV, and after migrating to Sweden, women had lower IPV exposure than in Thailand. However, the increased risk for poor mental health among those Thai women exposed to IPV suggests the need for supportive measures and targeted interventions to prevent further injuries and adverse health consequences. Although poor mental health in Thai women represents an obstacle for integration, the potential resilience indicated in the group with high social trust and without exposure to social isolation suggests that such aspects be included in the program designed to facilitate integration.

%@ 1400-9692
%X Integrationssatsningar riktade till nyanlända har kritiserats för att sakna  likvärdighet och ha svag kunskapsbas. Krav har ställts på åtgärder för  att höja kvaliteten på satsningarna. Den här artikeln handlar om det  interprofessionella arbetet för att ta fram ett standardiserat, nationellt  informationsmaterial för att förbättra samhällsorientering för nyanlända. I  studien som genomförts följdes processen när olika yrkesgrupper tillsammans  arbetade med att ta fram materialet om det svenska samhället. Analysen visar  hur arbetet präglades av att de olika grupperna orienterade sig mot olika  delmål: att skapa det vetenskapligt korrekt, det pedagogiskt förenklade, det politiskt neutrala eller det relevanta för de nyanlända.
Integration initiatives aimed at newly arrived immigrants have been criticized for a lack of equivalence and a weak knowledge base. This article is about the interprofessional work to produce a standardized, national information material to improve civic orientation. In the study a process was followed when various occupational groups worked together to produce the material about Swedish society. The analysis shows how the work was characterized by ambiguities when the different groups oriented themselves towards different sub-goals: to create the scientifically correct, the pedagogically simplified, the politically neutral or the relevant for the newly arrived immigrants.

%X Guided interactions with nature form part of integration programmes aimed at immigrant groups in Nordic societies. Based on data collected on several Swedish Nature-Based Integration (NBI) projects this article examines the rituals nature guides employ on guided walks. It explores how guides enact taskscapes through structured and improvised ritual activity. These taskscapes integrate a moral universe encapsulating nature and society; provide meeting sites for groups of diverse backgrounds; and are a potential base for a wider environmental social movement. I describe moments of apparent integration and conflict over past, present and future usage of nature. Nature guides are prominent in managing tensions and contradictions around integration, a concept containing inherently coercive elements. Guides thus should be aware that their activities may contribute to societal conflicts as well as conciliation. This is of particular relevance with NBI increasingly framed as a potential solution to the ‘problems’ of immigration. © 2020 The Author(s).

%X Creating internships for newly arrived refugees and immigrants is a well-established part of the Swedish national integration program and is seen as a strategy to speed up immigrants' establishment process. One common belief is that the workplace is expected to give the newly arrived trainee necessary language training, as well as contextual and cultural knowledge. Here, the transferring direction of knowledge is from the Swedish workplace to the receiving newly arrived trainee. However, it is rarely discussed whether the trainee will bring valuable knowledge to the organization, or what the relational aspects of the internship should look like. In this paper, we develop the analysis of internships as a mean for integration in Sweden, by analyzing what trainees and their supervisors experience in terms of knowledge transfer and development. By interviewing trainees (4) and supervisors (5), the aim of this paper is to discuss ideas and practices in an internship program for refugees that The University of Gothenburg started in 2015. The interviews focus on the structural and organizational level, though individual experiences also play a central role. Theoretically, the analysis is interdisciplinary and a cross-cut between organizational theory and cultural studies, especially the work of Sara Ahmed. Our results show that the trainee is seen both as a resource and as someone who represents multiculturalism, hospitality, and the altruism of the university and its employees. The trainee is expected not only to integrate in a productive way, but also to stand out in non-productive areas, such as the social context.

%X In this article, we explore marital exogamy (especially intermarriage between immigrants and natives) among 39 different immigrant groups using cross-sectional registry data for the total immigrant populations in Sweden in 2003. Immigrants who are better educated, who spend a longer time in Sweden before marriage and live outside the bigger cities are more likely to be married to natives. Controlling for age at immigration, education, time between immigration and marriage, settlement size and the relative size of the immigrant group of the opposite sex, immigrants from Western Europe (excluding Finland) and the United States are more likely to be married to natives than are other immigrants. We also analyse the link between intermarriage and economic integration, with the results indicating a strong association between intermarriage and economic integration in terms of employment and income. Immigrants married to natives are more likely to be employed, and also to have higher individual and household income. © 2008 Nordic Sociological Association and SAGE.

%X Few social psychological inVestigations have focused on the potential active role of the majority in integration. The present study examines the relationship between intergroup perception and majority attitudes toward the proactive integration of immigrant minorities in Norway. It assesses how and whether perceived entitativity of immigrants, endorsement of counterstereotypic portrayals of immigrants and metaperspectives along the appraisal dimensions of warmth/competence predict the integration attitudes of majority members in Norway as measured by the Majority Integration Efforts (MIE) scale. Correlational and multiple regression analysis yielded two strong (perceptions of positive immigrant integration intentions and perceived entitativity) and two moderate (perceptions of high immigrant competence in Norwegian society and metawarmth) predictors of these attitudes. Further analysis indicated that the main effect of perceived immigrant entitativity on MIE attitudes was partially mediated by perceptions of counterstereotypic intentions and competence. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed. We conclude by highlighting how the perception of immigrants' positive integration intentions and their heterogeneity as a group may best promote majority support for proactive integration efforts.

%X Negative attitudes towards out-groups have been of academic interest for many years — and even more so with the increased levels of migration to European countries in recent years. Building on insights from intergroup contact theory, this paper seeks to extend our knowledge of the association between contact and negative attitudes toward immigrants among youth in Sweden. Multiple regression analysis and fixed effects models are used to analyze a large, high-quality dataset on Swedish adolescents based on representative survey information, complemented with extensive registry data and official statistics. Our objective is to measure contact on different levels in order to better understand the importance of these different contact variables' associations with negative attitudes. The results of the analysis indicate that high-quality contact in the form of friendship is associated with a reduction in negative attitudes among Swedish adolescents, even after controlling for background variables. Superficial forms of contact — measured on the school level — are, on the other hand, associated with an increase in negative attitudes.

%X Refugees from the Global South face many challenges when they arrive in Europe, not least having their subjectivities and beliefs questioned as part of requests for them to adapt to the norms of the destination context. Although there has been much critical research on migrant integration and adaptation, few of these studies have used an intergenerational lens to investigate the experiences of refugee children and youth. This article addresses this research gap using a social navigation theoretical framework and qualitative data obtained from focus group discussions with Eritrean and Afghan unaccompanied minors, young adults, and parents. The findings demonstrate how challenges and resources associated with adaptation identified across generations were related to (a) the frequency and nature of interactions between refugees, their compatriots, and Norwegians; (b) learning the Norwegian language; (c) comprehension of Norway's bureaucratic welfare systems; and (d) accepting Norwegian cultural values while maintaining transnational cultural ties. Notably, unaccompanied minors, young adults, and parents all navigated dual cultures as part of efforts to achieve normative Norwegian markers of successful migrant adaptation. Significantly, the older generational groups had the most difficulty "breaking" into Norwegian society. Overall, it is argued that to understand better the challenges migrants face when they are required to adapt to a new life in a destination context and the implications of these challenges for their aspirations, it is important to include both a focus on how they move through the society (social navigation) and the interactivity between generations (intergenerational perspective).

This is tested within the framework of introduction programs for new immigrants. A trial introduction program was implemented from October 2006 to June 2008. Within participating municipalities, new immigrants were randomly assigned into treatment (intensive coaching) or control (regular introduction programs). The results indicate that there are significant treatment effects on employment probabilities as well as on participation in intermediate PES training programs. © 2012 The editors of The Scandinavian Journal of Economics.

%X After a long history dominated by out-migration, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have, in the past 50 years, become immigration societies. This article compares how these Scandinavian welfare societies have sought to incorporate immigrants and refugees into their national communities. It suggests that, while the countries have adopted disparate policies and ideologies, differences in the actual treatment of and attitudes towards immigrants and refugees in everyday life are less clear, due to parallel integration programmes based on strong similarities in the welfare systems and in cultural notions of equality in the three societies. Finally, it shows that family relations play a central role in immigrants' and refugees' establishment of a new life in the receiving societies, even though the welfare society takes on many of the social and economic functions of the family.

%X This paper explores the activities of Swedish state supported ethnic associations (most of which are immigrant organizations), thus shedding empirical light on how immigrants organize with the help of state support, both nationally and transnationally, in a welfare state context. The paper is based on a study of annual reports of 52 state supported national associations, representing more than a thousand (1046) local immigrant organizations, as well as 17 interviews with representatives of the said organizations. The findings indicate that the welfare state did not crowd out civil societal integration-promoting initiatives, but the state supported immigrant organizations came to occupy a niche in which they primarily offered complementary services with the aim of helping members to navigate the public welfare system. Neither did state support directly shape the content and direction of the political activities of the said organizations. However, the state support seems to have generated welfare channeling effects, in that more immigrant organizations came into existence than would have been the case in the absence of grants. The paper comes down in favor of the thesis that state support in some circumstances can promote political incorporation through immigrant organizations (with a few caveats). Finally, the paper proposes a hypothetical mechanism, homeland-oriented integration, for political incorporation through immigrant organization.

%X In this paper, we investigate whether integration policy improves refugees' economic performance, specifically examining the effects on refugees' income of Sweden's 2010 reform of the introduction programme (or IP). We also evaluate how the reform effects vary depending on refugees' gender and educational attainment. Our key finding shows a strong positive effect of the reform on refugees' income, immediately after the completion of the IP. More importantly, this positive effect intensifies over time, with no signs of diminishing, which implies a longer‐term effect of the reform. Furthermore, the effects of the reform do not significantly vary between men and women or between the highly educated and the less‐educated, suggesting that the new Swedish IP benefits refugees to the same extent, regardless of their gender and educational attainment.

%X The unprecedented inflow of refugees in the Nordic countries since 2014 has accentuated debates about the effectiveness of the Nordic models and their labor market integration programs. The 'refugee crisis' opened a window of opportunity in which some Nordic countries reformed their policy framework to promote faster and more effective labor market integration of refugees. Denmark is celebrated for its well-functioning flexicurity labor market, but has not been particularly successful in integrating nonwestern migrants and refugees in the labor market. We examine barriers on the supply-side, the demand-side, and in the matching process of the labor market to better understand the labor market performance of refugees. Subsequently, we analyze the new Danish labor market integration programs and discuss preliminary implementation results. Although it is too early to make any final judgments of the outcomes, there are indications of positive changes in implementation and results, while important integration issues remain unresolved. © 2018 Nordic journal of working life studies.

%X Following forced expulsion and campaigns of ethnic cleansing, substantial portions of national communities affected by conflict no longer live within the boundaries of the state. Nevertheless, existing wartime and postwar public opinion research is largely confined to countries directly affected by conflict. As a result, current research may overlook important war-affected populations and processes shaping their opinions. I address this problem by examining the question: does incorporation in settlement countries reduce support for conflict ideology? Examining this question requires new microdata. I examine the results of a large-scale survey of ex-Yugoslavs in Sweden. The findings suggest that incorporation undermines support for conflict ideology by increasing the socioeconomic security and social identity complexity of migrants. This has important implications for multiculturalism policies in the context of the current global migration crisis.

%X The study reported here used a practice theory lens to understand vocational education and training (VET) teachers' current practices in supporting integration of learning in educational institutions and workplaces - specifically for refugee and migrant students. A case study was conducted with 10 teachers delivering aged care programmes in South East Queensland, Australia and in a municipality in West Sweden. During in-depth interviews teachers explained the enabling and challenging aspects of their practice, and specific strategies they used to support students with integration of learning in the two main sites. Analyses of data concentrated on understanding three types of arrangements in the practice architectures at the two learning sites. Teachers extended their everyday pedagogical approaches to support integration of learning and meet the specific needs of refugee and migrant students. Their teaching comprised interdependent practices of VET and aged care in two settings, each with distinct ecologies of practice. Their narratives reflect contestations between practice traditions of aged care practices in Australia and Sweden, and students' understandings and reflections of practices in their birth countries. We conclude that teacher training and adjustments to these arrangements can bridge contestations between the enacted and experienced curriculum in the two sites.

%X In this article, the authors evaluate a Swedish pilot scheme that targeted immigrants with weak Swedish-language skills registered as unemployed at public employment offices. By sandwiching work-oriented language teaching and practical workplace training, the project aimed at enhancing the employability of project participants but also at alerting them to and preparing them for available training and further education opportunities. For the evaluation, a comparison group of nonparticipants was selected using a propensity score methodology. The results show that participation in the pilot scheme project resulted in much speedier transfers from open unemployment to employment, training, and education.

%X In an overall ranking by the Migration Policy Group of 2006 measuring immigrant integration policies in 28 countries, Sweden scored more points than any other country. This result is especially interesting given that Swedish integration policies differ considerably from integration policies applied in other EU countries. Whereas in countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and France integration conditions have become increasingly restrictive in recent years, in Sweden the participation in integration courses is still voluntary and no integration requirements must be met for long-term residence or citizenship. Moreover, the Swedish integration programme is characterised by an increasing number of labour market related integration measures. Yet, in contrast to the Migration Policy Group ranking, data collected from the OECD and Eurostat seem to indicate unfavourable integration outcomes in Sweden, at least in terms of labour market participation. The gap in employment rates between the native and foreign-born population in Sweden widened during the 1990s and has not narrowed significantly since then. This means that the outcome of Swedish integration policies is at least ambiguous, which makes the use of Sweden as a model for integration policies in other member states inconceivable.

%X Over the past 30 years the relative incomes and employment rates of immigrants have sunk, while immigrants' unemployment rates rose. The over representation in the welfare transfer system and an increasing housing segregation cause concern and is much debated. The general opinion is that immigrants are less integrated into the Swedish society today than informer times. The aim of this literature review is to of this is true. The working hypothesis is that immigrants were integrated during the period 1945-1975. A set of nine variables are discussed to examine whether the immigrants 1945-1975 were integrated. Although explorative by its character the results indicate that immigrants were not as integrated informer times as commonly believed. Contrary to common beliefs significant improvements in integration has, in some areas, actually been achieved. The integration of immigrants has not changed from good to bad, but rather from bad to worse.

%X The aim of this study was to examine the integration process with regard to an integration and voluntary re-settlement project in a rural area in northern Sweden. The project was an attempt to use existing resources in the municipality to attract people with an immigrant background to move from segregated urban environments to a rural municipality. Potential settlers were also recruited abroad. The empirical data were based on eight group interviews with recently arrived immigrant families, and eleven individual interviews with people who played an active role in the project organisation. The results showed that the new families had been integrated into the community to the extent promised by the local authority. The process was facilitated by the resources provided by both parties, but it did not involve significant costs. The immigrants were motivated to move because they wanted a new lifestyle, while the local community was motivated to provide a supportive structure for the new inhabitants because of an awareness of the imminent demographic crisis facing the community due to depopulation. The integration process was strongly influenced by the implicit criteria on which the newcomers were recruited. © Journal compilation © 2009 International Organization for Migration.

%X Sport participation for youth with immigrant background is often argued to play an important role for migrant youth integration into their new host society. Although few well sampled longitudinal studies has been conducted. The aim of this study was to study the impact that sport participation has on two integration-related outcomes (problem behaviours and native friends) by using the Swedish version of the longitudinal CILS4EU study. The multi-group latent growth curve models showed that although youth active or starting in sport independent of immigrant background did less problem behaviours and had more native friends than their peers with the same immigrant background that was not engaged in sport. However, the trajectories were very similar and often very close to zero, which makes it difficult to claim that sport participation has any significant impact on integration in the Swedish society.

%X This paper explores cultural diversity issues in Finnish social and health care organizations by looking at the experiences of foreign-born nurses (FBNs) and employers and considering how the regulation framework shapes the position of FBNs in the Finnish labor market. The results from the fieldwork reveal that nurses' national and professional backgrounds are key in the integration process and that there are differences between "well-established" and "new" FBNs. In particular, nurses recruited internationally in recent years were notably in lower-status positions. An explanation is that these nurses were hired to solve a personnel shortage and not because of their qualifications.

%X Immigrant children are often at a disadvantage at school while they adjust to their new environment. It has been found that the age at immigration of 7 or above represents a sensitive period as regards these children's school performance for two main reasons: they have passed their prime age for language learning, and their acquisition of subject skills is less efficient while they learn to master the new language. Using Swedish administrative data, we track childhood immigrants born between 1972 and 1976 over time from adolescence (at 16) to adulthood (at 30), and study the role of age at immigration for educational and labor market outcomes. We find that immigration at a sensitive age (compared to a very young age) has a strong negative impact on compulsory school performance, but that the same individuals catch up strongly in terms of final educational attainment. In spite of this educational catching up, however, we find a considerable negative impact on earnings for men. We are able to rule out two potential mechanisms behind this puzzling result: It cannot be explained either by an impact on the chosen field of study or on completion time. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

%X This article contributes to understanding migration and integration experiences of privileged intra-EU migrant entrepreneurs termed "lifestyle expat-preneurs" by discussing the role of rural entrepreneurship in the processes of integration into sparsely populated rural areas, as exemplified by the Dutch tourism entrepreneurs in northern Sweden. Specifically, this article focuses on campground entrepreneurship, a sub-segment of rural tourism lacking much academic research. Findings demonstrate the experiences of intra-EU lifestyle expat-preneurs are absent from currently dominating theoretical, as well as political, discourses on migration and integration. The article concludes arguing campground entrepreneurship is a powerful catalyst of lifestyle migration, but the very nature of this business is an inhibiting, rather than supporting factor, for rural community integration.

%X An essential component in the structure of the immigration policy of developed countries is the integration of migrants. The integration policy for migrants is aimed at solving the issues of adaptation, inculturation, labor mobility, naturalization, and political participation. Integration is a reciprocal process which involves the interaction of migrants and the host society. The integration policy goal is the formation of migrants' qualities and competencies that allow them to participate in the economic, social, political, and spiritual spheres of the recipient country. The failure of integration policies inevitably increases the conflict potential of the host society, leads to social exclusion, marginalization of migrants, and an increase in xenophobia. The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of the integration policy of the two Northern states -- Norway and Russia. Norway has extensive experience in implementing the integration policy, occupies a leading position in the index of integration of migrants MIPEX. Russia has extensive experience in the incorporation of various ethnic groups into a national state, but the state has long ignored the solution of issues of integration and adaptation of migrants. The study aims to analyze national models and practices of integration and adaptation of migrants. The research methodology is linked to the methods of demography, sociology, political science, law, and statistics. For the comparative analysis of the immigration policies of Norway and Russia, a set of indicators reflecting the quality and status of the integration policy, MIPEX (labor market, family reunification, long-term stay, political participation, protection against discrimination, naturalization) was applied. It is concluded that the policy of integration in Russia should have different objects of regulation, be differentiated by goals and objectives. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Важным компонентом в структуре иммиграционной политики развитых стран вы- ступает интеграция мигрантов. Политика инте- грации мигрантов направлена на решение про- блем адаптации, инкультурации, трудовой мо- бильности, натурализации, политического уча- стия. Интеграция представляет собой реци- прокный процесс, который предполагает взаи- модействие мигрантов и принимающего обще- ства. Политика интеграции направлена на фор- мирование у мигрантов качеств и компетенций, позволяющих им участвовать в экономической, социальной, политической и духовной сферах общества страны-реципиента. Провалы политики интеграции неизбежно повышают конфликтоген- ный потенциал принимающего общества, ведут к социальной эксклюзии, маргинализации мигран- тов и росту ксенофобии. Статья посвящена срав- нительному анализу политики интеграции двух северных стран -- Норвегии и России. Норвегия имеет большой опыт реализации политики инте- грации мигрантов, занимает лидирующие пози- ции в индексе интеграции мигрантов MIPEX. Рос- сия, хотя и обладает большим опытом инкорпо- рации различных этносов в состав национально- го государства, однако решение проблем инте- грации и адаптации мигра ½Ñ‚ов долгое время иг- норировались государством. Цель исследования: проанализировать национальные модели и прак- тики интеграции и адаптации мигрантов. Мето- дология исследования основана на использова- нии методов демографии, социологии, полито- логии, права, миграционной статистики. Для сравнительного анализа иммиграционных поли- тик Норвегии и России использован комплекс индикаторов, отражающих качество и состояние политики интеграции мигрантов, MIPEX (рынок труда, воссоединение семей, долгосрочное пре- бывание, политическое участие, защита от дис- криминации, натурализация). Сделан вывод, чтополитика интеграции мигрантов в России должна иметь различные объекты регулирования, быть дифференцирована по целям и задачам.

%X This article examines the assumption that the social democratic welfare state is better than others in integrating immigrants into society, or at least that the comprehensive welfare state should compensate for the problems of labour market entry. A number of key indicators from The Living Conditions Survey are used to show that this assumption is inherently wrong. Immigrants do not have the same possibilities to enter the labour market, which is shown to have severe affects on other important areas of social and political citizenship. It stands clear that the social democratic welfare state, built and expanded on grounds of homogeneity, is insufficient to deal with changing circumstances in a plural society.

%X Migration over recent years has meant that issues of integration are high on the agenda. Sports clubs are considered important settings for promoting integration. This notion is reflected in national and international policy documents. This study focuses on how leaders in a non-profit sports club, operating in a community where a majority have a migrant background, work with the stated goal of promoting integration. The aim of this study is to explore how leaders interpret and negotiate their explicit assignment to promote integration and counteract segregation and how they try to implement strategies to reach these goals and also to explore how participants experience the sports club's activities related to aspects of integration. The study takes an ethnographic approach with participant observations and interviews. The results indicate that the leaders' work in terms of integration was related to negotiating diversity, norms, rules and language. Both leaders and participants highlight how the activities enhance feelings of trust despite racism in society and how the leaders worked to create relationships and to make the activities into safe spaces. Whether this work contributes to integration is, however, debatable and the leaders emphasised inclusion as their main strategy and goal.

%X There is a need for increased knowledge regarding refugee women's experiences of integration. This study concerns young women who came to Sweden as unaccompanied asylum-seeking (UAS) girls, and how they understand integration and their everyday life. Six young women, age 19–24, who came to Sweden as UAS children in the period 2013–2015 participated in semi-structured interviews, which were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Five themes emerged: Relationships to family members; Being a minority woman; The importance of information; Integrating cultures; and Dreams and agency. Their everyday lives could be difficult, for example since interventions often targeted and were dominated by boys and men. Moreover, the participants sensed that they were in contradictory positions. While striving to integrate Swedish and Afghan customs they described expectations from parents and the Afghan community to live according to Afghan traditions. Despite being in vulnerable positions, they experienced independence and the capacity to change their lives and sought to contribute to equal rights for women. The participants described integration as a process, enhanced by their personal agency and by their social, relational, and material contexts. Based on the results, we discuss how integration can be supported. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Forskare har påtalat behovet av ökad kunskap om flyktingkvinnors upplevelser av integration. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka afghanska ensamkommande flickors upplevelser av integration och vardagsliv. Sex unga kvinnor, 19–24 år, som kom till Sverige som ensamkommande mellan 2013 och 2016 deltog i semistrukturerade intervjuer. Materialet analyserades med tolkande fenomenologisk analys. Fem huvudteman urskildes: Relation till familjemedlemmar; Att vara en minoritetskvinna; Vikten av information; Att integrerade kulturer och Drömmar och agentskap. Deltagarna hade upplevt svårigheter som hängde samman med att många insatser, inklusive boende, var riktade mot och dominerades av killar. De beskrev också en position präglad av motstridighet. De strävade efter att integrera den svenska och den afghanska kulturen men var samtidigt tvungna att förhålla sig till föräldrars och landsmäns förväntningar på hur en afghansk kvinna bör leva i enlighet med afghanska traditioner. Trots detta förstod deltagarna sig själva som självständiga individer med förmåga att förändra sina liv och de ville bidra till att flickors och kvinnors rättigheter och livsvillkor förbättrades. De förstod integration som en process som främjades av en känsla av personligt agentskap som i sin tur kunde stärkas av sociala, relationella och materiella kontexter. I artikeln diskuteras hur ensamkommande flickors integration och vardagsliv kan stödjas.

%X Denmark experienced one of its most successful periods of economic growth in 2004- 2008 with a tremendous reduction of unemployment, which in June 2008 was around. 1.5 percent, far below the expected level of structural unemployment. In the wake of this development the lack of utilization of migrants' educations and skills became, once again, a core concern. The political, societal and academic debate followed to a great extent the traditional top-down approach to the problem and revolved around two axes: 1. How effective the labour market was/is to make use of migrants' skills. 2. Whether there were patterns of over-education as expression of institutional and societal discrimination. The focus of the present study is, however, quite different: We examine the pattern of deviance in relation to labour market participation (not integration), and instead of searching for explanations for the lack of integration, we attempt to identify and explain the deviance pattern as a product of institutionally inherent possibilities and barriers on the one hand and articulating immigrants as rational actors (not victims) on the other. We argue that deviance is not only a more fruitful theoretical and analytical framework than integration and discrimination. Taking departure in empirical evidence on immigrants' preferences and behaviour as bounded rational actors, and how they actually articulate their everyday life practical experiences, including adjustment of what they want and what they can, the deviance perspective, we believe, also reduces the theoretical and normative biases, that characterises the discrimination and integration framework, and provide more reliable explanations.

%X The article presents a study which explores the process of integration and the formation of ethnic identity among South Asian immigrants in Norway. It examines various factors which contribute to immigrants' integration and the construction of their identity in a multicultural society like in Norway. The different factors include the time since migration, receptiveness of the host society, position in the labor market, schools, social networks, and interaction with the host society. It provides an explanation of the three levels of integration. The first level involves high ethnic identity and low integration while the second is related to high ethnic identity and high integration. On the other hand, the third level is low integration and low ethnic identity.

%X This article offers a theoretical discussion on the role of informal institutions in the integration process of immigrants to a new country. Previous research on how immigrants become integrated and assimilated into the host countries demonstrates that integration/assimilation takes long time, often occurring over several generations; formal institutions matter; such theories are good at explaining how integration takes place, but not why integration/assimilation fails or succeeds. The informal institutions of both immigrants and native populations are examined. The discussion is based upon institutional theory in economics and political science. The findings suggest that informal institutions can explain why integration take place, and why some nationalities integrate into a new country, while others do not.

%X Qualitative interviews with Latvian and Swedish agency nurses in Norway reveal that the two groups have quite different experiences of integration in the Norwegian labor market. Aiming to add knowledge about differentiation within migrant labor markets, the objective of this article is to examine how language, nursing culture, and personal motivation affect the double control that agency nurses are subject to, their resultant skill-sets, inclusion in the workplace, and response to this. Norway is of interest as the Norwegian language can be difficult to learn outside Scandinavia. The Latvian agency nurses are harder hit by the double control of the temporary work agencies than the Swedish are. They obtain higher wages and better working conditions and are ready to speak up against unfair treatment. If they want to leave the agency, they easily find direct employment. Latvian nurses seem more ready to accept work below their qualifications and some show signs of “resigned acceptance.” They have more to lose than the Swedish nurses in terms of access to work, wages, and working conditions if they return to their homeland. Although Latvian and Swedish nurses largely feel well received in the workplace, the double control they are subject to calls for self-restraint and impedes a sense of inclusion. For the Latvian nurses, language problems and cultural differences exacerbate this. The study expands and nuances how double control affects agency workers, and applying a broad concept of resigned acceptance it nuances what language means for discrimination in the workplace. © 2019, Springer Nature B.V.

%X In 2014 there were more than 14 million refugees worldwide and almost a million places for permanent resettlement were needed. This article reviews administrative and survey data on the characteristics and integration outcomes of refugees resettled in the United States, Canada and Scandinavia. Refugees to these destinations are increasingly diverse in their origins and languages-posing challenges for host communities. Refugees in the United States tend to be employed due to an early focus on self-sufficiency there, but those in Sweden and Norway have low employment rates, with Canada representing a middle ground. While limited English skills slow integration in the United States and Canada, acquiring Norwegian and Swedish is tougher because refugees are seldom exposed to these languages before resettlement. In the United States, older refugee cohorts have reached income parity with the U.S.-born population, but those resettled since the 2008-09 recession have started at a greater employment and income disadvantage. This article describes the administrative and survey data on U.S. refugees in rich detail, but the available administrative data for refugees in Canada, Norway and Sweden have yet to be fully mined. © 2015 - IOS Press and the authors.

%X The present study is based on the premise that the integration of ethnic minorities may involve more than the majority's expression of tolerance. In order to promote inclusion, the majority may have to play a more active role in the integration process. We describe the development and validation of a new psychometric scale which assesses majority members' attitudes toward their own proactive contribution to the integration of immigrants within three domains: cultural and structural efforts, and openness to diversity. The scale is investigated by analyses of internal structure and exploration of construct validity in relation to relevant social psychological and personality constructs in a sample of 486 Norwegian university students (28% male, mean age=26.5, SD=6.08). Factor analyses supported a unidimensional structure and the estimated reliability of an additive scale was satisfactory (Cronbach's α=0.91). The scale correlated negatively with measures of right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation, and positively with global identity. It was weakly related to the personality traits agreeableness, intellect, extraversion, and conscientiousness. The potential utility of the scale in both applied and experimental social psychological studies are discussed. © 2011 The Authors.

Emigrants and Immigrants
%X From the first half of the 1990s, and especially after the accession to European Union in 1995, immigrant authorities and administration have emphasized the significance of immigrant associations in integration of immigrants in Finland. The purpose of the associations from the administrative perspective is to socialize and activate immigrant communities and individuals according to basic political rationalities, such as security of the society, happiness of the population and individuals, and cultural pluralism. On the one hand immigrant associations are technology through which integrative government of individuals and communities is implemented. On the other hand, associations themselves are governed through multiple techniques, mainly funding and registration. The author approaches this associational government of integration of immigrants with the "toolkit" applied from Foucauldian governmentality studies.

%X Denne rapporten forsøker å gå nærmere inn i årsakene til at innvandrerungdom er mer kriminelle og asosiale enn norsk ungdom. Utgangspunktet er Ung i Norge 2002-data. Problemstillingen er kort: Ligger noe av årsaken til at innvandrerungdom er mer kriminelle i at de er mindre integrert og har svakere band til det norske samfunnet? Samla sett er det et variert bilde som vises fram, men hovedkonklusjonen er at forskjeller mellom norske og innvandrere når det gjelder tilbøyelighet til å begå alvorlige kriminelle handlinger, ikke fullt ut kan forklares gjennom en teori om at norsk ungdom er bedre integrert i det norske samfunnet. Studien viser også at andre generasjon unge innvandrere er mer kriminelle enn første generasjon, selv om mye tyder på at andre generasjon er bedre integrert.

%X Bakgrunnen for denne rapporten er et oppdrag fra Byrådsavdeling for Byutvikling om å utarbeide statistikk over innvandrere og deres barns demografi og levekår i bydelene i Groruddalen og Søndre Nordstrand. Formålet med rapporten er å gi et bakteppe av empirisk kunnskap som kan brukes som grunnlag for arbeidet i Groruddalssatsingen En satsning som berører bydelene Alna, Bjerke, Grorud og Stovner. Groruddalssatsingen er et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom staten og Oslo kommune som løper over en tiårsperiode fra 2007-2016. Groruddalssatsingen er delt opp i flere programområder som omhandler transport, idrett og kulturmiljø, boligspørsmål, oppvekst, utdanning, levekår, kulturaktiviteter og inkludering. Denne rapporten gir et kunnskapsgrunnlag for flere av disse programområdene. Bydel Søndre Nordstrand har en befolknings- og sosioøkonomisk sammensetning som minner om bydelene i Groruddalen og en lignede samarbeidsavtale mellom stat og kommune er opprettet også for bydel Søndre Nordstrand under navnet ”Handlingsprogram Oslo Sør”. Vi har derfor valgt å inkludere også Søndre Nordstrand i denne rapporten. Rapporten er tenkt som en utgangsbeskrivelse av levekårene til innvandrere spesielt og den øvrige befolkningen i Groruddalen før tiltakene i satsningen iverksettes. Forholdene for hele befolkningen i Groruddalen skal beskrives gjennom å bruke informasjon om dem som referansemateriale. Det vil trolig være vanskelig å måle presist effekten av de innsatser som blir gjort i Groruddalssatsingen. Siden målgruppen for satsningen mer er personene som bor i Groruddalen enn områdene selv, har rapporten et fokus på de menneskene som i dag bor i Groruddalen, og et videre arbeid må følge deres observerbare levekår fram til etter at satsningen er gjennomført, uavhengig av om disse personene fortsatt bor i de fem bydelene som er omfattet av satsningen. Som et grunnlag for en slik evalueringen vil denne publikasjonen være et viktig bidrag.

Oppsummeringen om innvandrere og sysselsetting i et regionalt perspektiv er laget på oppdrag for Kompetansesenter for Distriktsutvikling og IMDi. Kunnskapsoppsummeringen er første del av det større prosjektet «Sysselsetting av innvandrere – Regionale muligheter og barrierer for deltakelse og inkludering». I tillegg til sysselsetting er det et fokus på hvordan innvandreres sysselsetting på lokalt og regionalt nivå påvirker lokalsamfunnene. En av hensiktene med prosjektet er å bidra til kunnskapsbasert politikkutvikling som kopler perspektiver og insitamenter fra arbeid-, integrerings- og regionalpolitikken for å fremme regional vekst og sysselsetting av innvandrere.  Tilknyttet prosjekt Sysselsetting av innvandrere - regionale muligheter og barrierer

%X Formålet med denne rapporten er å kartlegge og beskrive utvalgte innvandrergruppers demografi og levekår i ulike kommuner i Norge. Ved å beskrive noen hovedtrekk ved sentrale innvandrergruppers demografi og levekår på kommunenivå, vil vi for eksempel avdekke om afghanere i Oslo skiller seg fra afghanere i Drammen eller Bergen. Slik statistikk kan gi kommuner og statlige myndigheter et bedre empirisk grunnlag for sin integreringspolitikk. Rapporten tar for seg innvandrere og norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre fra hovedsakelig 17 utvalgte land: Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chile, Filippinene, India, Irak, Iran, Kosovo, Marokko, Pakistan, Polen, Russland, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tyrkia og Vietnam. I egne landkapitler beskriver vi den enkelte innvandrergruppens demografi og levekår på kommunenivå. Her inngår også ulike mål på deltakelse i arbeidslivet i Norge. I et eget kapittel ser vi nærmere på hvordan sysselsettingsnivået blant innvandrere fra Asia, Afrika, Latin-Amerika, Oseania unntatt Australia og New Zealand, og Europa utenom EU-15 og Norden, og befolkningen i alt, varierer etter kommunestørrelse, sentralitet og enkelte andre aggregerte dimensjoner. Her vises tall for innvandrere generelt, og fra Eritrea, Somalia, Afghanistan og Irak spesielt.

%X Både i Noreg og andre europeiske land har integrasjonspolitikken dei siste 12–15 åra innført sterkare element av medborgaropplæring. I Noreg tar dette form av eit 50 timars kurs i samfunnskunnskap for innvandrarar frå utanfor EØS-området. I denne samanhengen er det spenningar mellom einsidig vektlegging på arbeidslivet og på eit breiare fokus på samfunnsdeltaking. Det er også spenningar mellom myndiggjerande ambisjonar på den eine sida og ambisjonar om tilpassing til norske verdiar og tradisjonar på den andre. Denne artikkelen vil drøfta den medborgaridentiteten som vert konstruert for innvandrarar i samfunnskunnskap i dette spenningsfeltet. Det empiriske materialet er læremiddel som er i bruk i opplæring av innvandrarar i samfunnskunnskap.

%X Cities differ widely in how they integrate migrants, even within the same nation state, and this local dimension in integration policies is understudied. One model that a growing number of cities in both Western Europe and North America have been trying out is setting up immigrant councils and other institutional structures to integrate immigrants. Such representation of immigrant interests in local bodies –has accordingly gained more importance. In this paper, we consider two such local consultative bodies focused on immigrant issues in Norway. Drawing on Smith's concept of 'democratic innovations' this paper explores the innovative potential in increasing immigrant's political opportunity structure through such institutions and discusses the democratic potential of such boards. The value of consultative bodies like these as a part of cities integration policy is disputed. Much of this contention has to do with their institutional design, as some may end up being 'institutional ghettos', while others become catalysts for enhanced participation. We therefore explore how the local context influences the design and performance of such bodies.

%X The aim of this study was to compare experiences of discrimination and their influence on trust in authorities and psychological distress among immigrants in Finland. A sample of 1146 immigrants, aged between 20 and 36 and representing seven immigrant groups (Russians, Ingrian/Finnish returnees, Estonians, Somalis, Arabs, Vietnamese and Turks), answered a mailed questionnaire based on traditional acculturation research as well as victim research. In accordance with our expectations, discrimination experiences in various realms of life were highly predictive of the psychological well-being of all immigrants, as well as of lack of trust in the Finnish authorities. However, contrary to our hypotheses regarding the effects of visibility and cultural proximity, group differences in psychological distress did not correspond to the group differences observed in perceived discrimination. These results are discussed in the light of the opposing predictions concerning self-damage effects of discrimination, made by social identity theory on the one hand and the theory on self-protecting functions of external attributions (Crocker and Major, 1989) on the other. It is concluded that the low level of stress observed in the most visible and most culturally distant group, despite high levels of perceived discrimination, is better explained by the latter than the former.

%X Objective. Increasing global migration has led to profound demographic changes in most industrialised countries. A growing body of research has investigated various health aspects among immigrant groups and found that some immigrant groups have poorer health than the majority population. It has been suggested that poor acculturation in the host country could lie behind the increased risk of worsened health among certain immigrant groups. The aim was to investigate the cross-sectional association between acculturation, measured as age at migration or length of residence, and self-rated health among young immigrants. Design. The simple, random samples of 7137 women and 7415 men aged 16-34 years were based on pooled, independent data collected during the period 1992-1999 obtained from the Swedish Annual Level of Living Survey (SALLS). Logistic regression was applied in the estimation of odds ratios (OR) for poor self-rated health, after accounting for age, sex, socioeconomic status (SES) and social networks. The non-response rate varied between 23.6 and 28.3% in the different immigrant groups. Results. The odds of poor self-rated health increased with increasing age at migration to Sweden among first-generation immigrants. For those who had resided in Sweden less than 15 years the odds of poor self-rated health were significantly increased. In addition, most of the immigrant groups had higher odds of poor self-rated health than the reference group. Conclusions. Health care workers and policy makers need to be aware that immigrants who arrive in the host country at higher ages and/or have lived in the host country for a shorter period of time might need special attention as they are more likely to suffer from poor self-rated health, a valid health status indicator that can be used in population health monitoring. © 2009 Taylor & Francis.

%X By incorporating a structural approach to social determinants of health theory, this article explores self-rated health among migrants residing in Sweden and Greece, which represent immigration countries with distinct features in their integration policies. The indicative findings show that in countries with more restrictive integration policies such as Greece, migrants' socio-economic disadvantages play a key role in shaping poor self-rated health. On the contrary, in countries with more inclusive integration policies such as Sweden, lack of specific forms of social capital makes migrants more vulnerable to poor self-rated health. It is recommended that, specifically in the context of the recent refugee crisis, further research is needed to fully understand the mediating role of integration policies on migrants' health.

%X In this paper, we examine the risk of social exclusion among the Swedish population from a longitudinal perspective. In the empirical analysis, a person is considered socially excluded if he or she suffers from at least two of the following six welfare problems: chronic unemployment, economic problems, health problems, experiences of threat or violence, crowded housing and lack of interpersonal relationships. Our three main findings are as follows: There is no evidence that immigrants have been better integrated into Swedish society over time from the perspective of social exclusion risk. Instead, there are weak signs that their situation has become worse. Further, even though men are worse off than women as regards the odds for social exclusion, there are weak signs that their relative situation has improved over time. Finally, compared to couples without children, there is clear evidence that the odds for social exclusion for singles with children have increased over time and that the odds for social exclusion for couples with children have decreased over time. We can, therefore, conclude that among these groups, the inequality has increased over time. To be able to make these conclusions, we have fitted several specifications of a logistic regression model with random effects for panel data to our data set.

%X The spatial concentration of immigrants in disadvantaged neighbourhoods may hinder their opportunities for social and economic integration. It is therefore important that immigrants can translate their available economic resources into mobility to less disadvantaged neighbourhoods. This study adds to existing research on the relationship between socioeconomic and spatial integration by focusing on the effects of income mobility on residential mobility. We analyse intra-urban residential mobility from low-income neighbourhoods into non-low-income neighbourhoods among immigrants and native-born residents in three urban regions in Finland. We use longitudinal register data for the 2004–2014 period for the full population, allowing a dynamic analysis of changes in income and neighbourhood of residence. Based on fixed-effects multinomial logit modelling of residential outcomes, we found that upward income mobility is connected to exit from low-income areas, but the effect is stronger among the native-born Finns than among those with an immigrant background. This stronger effect for natives is in contrast to findings of previous European studies, suggesting that these might have been influenced by unobserved individual-level heterogeneity. Our findings imply that both policies improving labour market opportunities of immigrants and policies reducing constraints for spatial integration are needed if the aim is to decrease ethnic residential segregation.

%X Norway has a unique political focus on homeownership as a key to welfare and happiness. " Eierlinja " in Norwegian housing policy aims for a very high rate of homeownership leading to social integration of the communities enabling them as active citizens. Paradoxically, Muslim immigrants are 43%-93% less likely to own a house compared with non-immigrants, resulting in a potential increase in marginalisation of the groups who do not own their own home. To bridge this gap, we advocate a two-dimensional intervention. First, policy intervention that helps these communities to attain homeownership and, second, policy intervention that helps improve their social outcomes.

%X When it comes to evaluating immigrants' integration, survey data are particularly important. However, the endeavor of surveying immigrant minorities is challenging. This special issue focuses on the possibility of obtaining high-quality cross-country comparable samples of immigrant minorities. As the golden standard for drawing random representative samples are the population lists, the contributions of the special issue have directed their attention to this sampling frame. In the three country-based articles, the authors are discussing the legal, administrative and scholarly challenges and opportunities for using population registers as sampling frames for immigrant minorities. The fourth article summarize their findings and concludes that identical register-based sampling design is difficult to implement in a cross-country design, due to the significant differences in the quality of population registers and their accessibility to researchers. The authors suggest that by sampling immigrant minorities in cities, researchers can better implement sampling strategies which result in comparable samples.

%X The article connects the fields of work/non-work research with the research on social integration of migrants. It is based on in-depth interviews with foreign physicians in the south of Sweden which explored their work/non-work experiences and their subjective perceptions of managing work, family, social and private domains of life. Based on individual reflections of social life as experienced in the workplace, in the locations of everyday life and transnationally, the analysis does not pursue the existence and composition of social networks but focuses on non-instrumental aspects of social life and explores their significance for high-skilled migrants' own sense of integration. The findings suggest that migrants who are privileged in terms of education and employment still face extensive challenges in the social domain of life, especially with regard to close friendships. The findings furthermore suggest that social integration is a process that is influenced by place, time and individual life trajectories and therefore cannot be truthfully accounted for by looking at the numbers and ethnic composition of a migrant's social relations. It is the quality of relations – notably friendships – that matters most. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Cet article associe les champs de la recherche sur le travail/non-travail avec la recherche sur ĺintégration sociale des migrants. Il est basé sur des entretiens approfondis avec des médecins étrangers basés dans le sud de la Suède, explorant leurs expériences professionnelles/non-professionnelles ainsi que leurs perceptions subjectives de la gestion de la vie professionnelle, familiale, sociale et privée. Fondée sur des réflexions individuelles sur la vie sociale vécue sur le lieu de travail, dans les lieux de la vie quotidienne et au niveau transnational, cette analyse ne cherche pas á étudier ĺexistence et la composition des réseaux sociaux, mais se concentre sur les aspects non-instrumentaux de la vie sociale et explore leur signification pour le sentiment d´intégration des migrants hautement qualifiés. Les résultats suggèrent que, malgré des privilèges en termes d´éducation et d´emploi, les migrants doivent encore faire face à des défis considérables dans le domaine de la vie sociale, notamment en ce qui concerne les liens d´amitié étroits. Les résultats démontrent aussi que ĺintégration sociale est un processus influencé par le lieu, le temps et les trajectoires de vie individuelles et qui, par conséquent, ne peut pas être véritablement expliqué en se référant uniquement au nombre et à la composition ethnique des relations sociales des migrants. La qualité des relations – notamment des relations amicales – importe beaucoup plus.

%X This study considers long-term adaptation among well-educated Iraqis who applied for international protection in Finland in 2015. We interviewed the participants approximately 3 months after their arrival, and subsequently after being granted international protection 1.5 and 2.5 years after arrival. We apply a theoretically constructed Benefits of Employment in Intercultural Contexts model in the context of skilled refugees to examine the role of employment in their acculturation process. We analysed the data using qualitative content analysis. Despite the difficulties faced at the beginning of the asylum and job-search processes, employment – including inadequate employment that connected an individual to a work community – enhanced participants' subjective well-being and promoted their whole acculturation process. The key explanation seems to lie not in increasing economic wealth but in the establishment of social networks, a sense of collective purpose, a possibility to maintain a positive identity, and importantly, the accumulation of cultural capital that employment or active functioning in work-life-related contexts enabled. By the end of the follow-up period, the aforementioned latent benefits of employment were more salient, while the urge to manifest benefits, i.e. salary, had lessened due to reconciling with having to make ends meet with the help of social benefits.

%X Economic theory points out that immigration of even low-skilled immigrants may improve public finances in Western welfare states, and it is sometimes suggested that fiscal sustainability problems in Western countries caused by ageing populations could be solved by increasing immigration. We examine consequences of various immigration scenarios using the large-scale computable general equilibrium model Danish rational economic agents model describing the Danish economy. It turns out that increased immigration will generally worsen the Danish fiscal sustainability problem. Improved economic integration of immigrants and their descendants, however, may alleviate the problems of the public sector considerably.

%X Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to summarize existing evidence on welfare dependence among immigrants in Denmark and to produce new evidence with focus on the most recent years. Design/methodology/approach – The paper combines a broad descriptive/analytical approach with multivariate estimation on the impact on welfare dependence from individual background factors. Findings – The main finding is the importance of aggregate low unemployment for immigrants to assimilate out of welfare dependence. Fairly small effects are reported from policy changes intending to influence the economic incentives between welfare programs and jobs. Research limitations/implications – While panel data as used in the paper have a great potential, still a number of policy changes are not identified at the individual level. In further work it would be relevant to broaden the coverage including also some small policy programs and to extend the analysis to cover the period including the financial crisis years. Social implications – The paper has a potential to influence public attitudes in this area and to inform further public policy regarding benefit programs. Originality/value – The main new result is the finding, at a disaggregate level, of how changes in immigration policy and cyclical changes interact, influencing the assimilation into or out of dependence on cash benefit programs.

%X Insufficient integration of immigrants into the labour market has been identified as a major problem in the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Integration depends, inter alia, on immigration and integration policy, and for most of the post-war period the policies of the three countries displayed strong similarities. However, in the early 2000s Denmark increasingly deviated from its two neighbours, introducing more restrictive immigration and stricter integration policies. Comparing both pre- and post-reform immigrants across Scandinavia, we assess the wider impact of this comprehensive policy reversal by tracking the evolution of employment and earnings gaps between 1993 and 2006. We use large data sets with individual-level register information allowing us to account for immigrant labour force composition and to examine sub-groups of immigrants. The results do not indicate that the Danish reforms had any clear-cut effect on either employment or earnings among non-Western immigrants. Moreover, integration in Norway and Sweden was not unequivocally worse despite the absence of similar reforms, raising questions regarding the aptness of the Danish reversal. © 2018, The Author(s).

%X AimsThe objective of this study was to elucidate the utilisation of Russian health care by immigrants of Russian origin living in Finland (cross‐border health care). The study examined the association of cross‐border health care with social integration and discrimination. Moreover, it studied whether cross‐border health care was used as an alternative to the host‐country's healthcare system.MethodsData from the Finnish Migrant Health and Wellbeing Survey (Maamu) were utilised. The number of respondents of Russian origin was 545. The main analytical method was logistic regression. The outcome variable was based on a survey item on seeking physician's treatment or help abroad during the last 12 months. Social integration was measured multi‐dimensionally, and the indicator was extracted by multiple correspondence analysis. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Ethical Committee of the Uusimaa Hospital Region.ResultsWe found that 15.4% of the respondents had visited a physician in Russia during the last 12 months. 10.4% had experienced discrimination in Finnish health services during their stay in Finland. Stronger social integration predicted less frequent utilisation of cross‐border health care. Experiences of discrimination or unfairness were associated with higher odds for seeking cross‐border health care. Cross‐border health care was typically used in parallel to the Finnish services.ConclusionsOur findings on integration and discrimination emphasise the importance of general integration policy as well as cultural competence in health care. Parallel use of healthcare systems entails both risks (e.g double medication, problems of follow‐up) and opportunities (e.g. sense of agency), which should be further investigated.

%X The aim of this paper is to find out if the returns to immigrants’ schooling are lower than the returns to natives’ schooling. In addition the paper tries to establish whether immigrants who invest in different amounts of Swedish education also differ in their returns to schooling. For immigrants arriving in Sweden as adults, the returns to schooling are on average one log point lower than for natives. The results show that returns to schooling are considerably higher for immigrants who arrived in Sweden during compulsory school age than for immigrants who arrived in Sweden after compulsory school age. Moreover, immigrants who complete their schooling in Sweden show, in general, much higher returns than immigrants with only foreign schooling.

%X This paper examines the earnings assimilation of immigrants in Sweden by applying a quantile regression approach on pooled data during the period 1990-99. Immigrants from Nordic and Western European countries have a smaller entry earnings disadvantage and slower rate of assimilation than other groups of immigrants. For some cohorts of immigrants from European countries the initial earnings disadvantage disappears after 15-20 years in Sweden, but as non-European immigrants suffered from very large entry earnings disadvantages, their earnings will not catch up with the earnings of natives during their first 20 years in Sweden. More recent non-European immigrant cohorts had a larger entry earnings disadvantage than previous ones. The immigration policy, discrimination, and the economic conditions may have contributed to the decline in the earnings assimilation of non-European immigrants. © 2006 The Authors; Journal compilation © 2006 CEIS, Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini and Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

%X The aim of this study was to investigate how immigrants have integrated into Finnish life from the standpoints of employment. The empirical research material consisted of 30 interviews with immigrants and four interviews with officials and others dealing with immigrant affairs. Factors promoting employment of immigrants were the voluntary nature of the immigration, educational qualifications as demonstrated by the relevant certificates and knowledge of the Finnish language. One in three reported that they had first received information about vacancies from the Employment Office, and one in five by approaching the employer directly asking for work. One in seven had found out about jobs through friends.

%X In Sweden, immigrants' integration and residential patterns are much disputed. Segregation is seen as a threat to social cohesion and policies at least rhetorically aim to create mixed neighbourhoods. Immigrants' settlement patterns and residential mobility are often explained with competing spatial assimilation and place stratification theories. Building from these two theories, this study investigates immigrants' mobility towards native-dominated neighbourhoods by clarifying the role of immigrants' country of origin in association with socioeconomic status, while emphasizing the importance of settlement context. The paper presents a survival analysis based on everyone who migrated to Sweden from 1990 to 2010. The conclusion is that immigrants' backgrounds strongly shape residential outcomes, and that spatial integration can be facilitated by a better housing market position at the start of the housing career in Sweden, by labour market participation, and good educational attainment. There are better prospects of ending up in native-dominated neighbourhoods outside metropolitan areas, whereas in metropolitan areas, increase in income has less impact on residential mobility and the opportunity structures for spatial integration are much more constrained, especially for refugees. The study finds more support for the place stratification theory, especially for the weak version, than for spatial assimilation.

It notes that immigrants may experience difficulty to reestablish themselves in a strange place within the framework of discredit on ethnicity. It discusses the influence of an immigrant's day-to-day coping with stigmatized ethnic identity to other aspects of social networks. It mentions that network fragmentation does not depict a weak degree of social integration, but rather might be part of an immigrant's important precondition to integrate in the society.

%X This study examines employment access, class attainment, and earnings among native-born and first-generation immigrants in Denmark using Danish administrative data from 2002. Results suggest large gaps in employment access between native-born Danes and immigrants, as well as among immigrant groups by country of origin and time of arrival. Non-Western immigrants and those arriving after 1984 are at a particular disadvantage compared to other immigrants, a finding not explained by education differences. Immigrants are more likely to be employed in unskilled manual jobs and less likely to be employed in professional and intermediate-level positions than native-born Danes, although the likelihood of obtaining higher-level positions increases as immigrants' time in Denmark lengthens. Class attainment and accumulated work experience explain a significant portion of native-immigrant gaps in earnings, but work experience reduces native-immigrant gaps in class attainment for lower-level positions only. The Danish 'flexicurity' model and its implications for immigrants living in Denmark are discussed.

%X How do parental leave rights and interacting societal structures influence immigrant fathers’ compliance with the ‘caring father’ model—typifying Nordic welfare states? Nordic parental leave schemes differ; this study investigated the impact of the Norwegian policy. Strong, stratifying effects related to access, particularly unfavourable for non-Western immigrant fathers, were demonstrated. These effects stemmed not only from the scheme being based on work performance criteria, but also from fathers’ rights being conditioned on mothers’ economic activity. Moreover, the observed gap between eligible immigrant and native-born fathers in the take-up of the father quota (the part of leave earmarked for fathers) was explored further. The gap was associated with weaker individual resources; however, ethnic labour market segregation played a significant role. The gap narrowed with the increased duration of stay of these fathers, suggesting that adaptation processes also are involved. The analysis is based on high-quality register data of all partnered men who became fathers in Norway in 2011, following them until their child was three years old in 2014. © The Author(s) 2019.

%X The aim of this study was to investigate how co-worker relations are associated with psychological well-being and job satisfaction among immigrants and host nationals working at the same workplace. Among immigrants, we examined co-worker relations with co-culturals, host nationals, and foreign immigrants, whereas among host nationals, we focused on co-worker relations with co-nationals (i.e. co-culturals) and immigrants. The study was conducted as a survey, of which the response rate was 45%. The participants consisted of immigrant (n = 164) and host national employees (n = 186) in a transport company (in Finland), the majority (90%) of whom were men. Co-worker relations were measured with a composite score, tapping broadly positively experienced relations and their frequency as well as the desire to interact with a defined group of co-workers. The results showed that all kinds of co-worker relations were positively associated with psychological well-being and job satisfaction. However, the co-worker relations between host nationals and immigrants were more strongly associated with job satisfaction than relations between these and other co-workers. Thus, attention should be paid to fostering the development of positive intercultural co-worker relations, as this may positively impact immigrant as well as host national employee well-being; job satisfaction in particular.

%X PurposeThere is a need for cost-effective strategies to counteract mental health challenges among immigrant women. This study aims to identify how nature might improve the mental health status of immigrant women residing in Norway.Design/methodology/approachQualitative data were gathered through individual interviews with 14 immigrant women from Iran (2), Poland (2), Palestine, Afghanistan, Congo, Kenya, Thailand, Russia, Portugal, Latvia, Colombia and Bulgaria.FindingsThe qualitative content analysis revealed that interaction with nature positively influenced the immigrant women’s mental health. This occurred because of the following: exposure to nature itself, leading to mood enhancements; familiarization with the new country’s culture, nature, climate and language, facilitating feelings of mastery, attachment and belonging; social interactions, promoting immediate well-being and future social support; interacting with nature in familiar ways, reducing feelings of alienation/loss; and physical activity, improving mood and stress-related conditions. These mental health improvements were a result of interactions with various types of natural environments.Originality/valueThis study supports the promotion of interaction with nature among immigrant women as part of low-cost public health work. Practitioners should consider multiple arenas for potential nature-related mental health gains.

%X This article examines social work with immigrants in the welfare state context. The work is informed by two previous studies on immigrant and refugee integration in Finland and Canada. Taking a holistic perspective on resettlement, social work can be seen as a crucial support and bridging service through transition. Tasks involve active fostering of linkage to promote immigrant participation in the wider society, a mandate that goes beyond that of guaranteeing access to welfare benefits. The thrusts of empowerment for full participation and effective practice of citizenship include capacity building, networking of resources and fighting discriminatory barriers. Resettlement social work has a singular interest in re- examining the State-third sector and professional-paraprofessional divide. It would be to the advantage of the field to broaden the body of official stakeholders and actors, in the context of new partnerships. The immigrant communities hold needed stocks of cultural competence and resettlement experience, which complement areas of professional expertise. Collaborative partnerships could offer social work the possibility to access community-based resources and to reach needs and problems that may otherwise elude the mainstream social work system in the welfare state.

%X Aims: To explore whether and how immigrant general practitioners (GPs) in two major cities in Norway think that their own ethnic background affects their practices and their work. Methods: Qualitative focus group and individual interviews with seven immigrant GPs, five men and two women, age 36—65 years. Their clinical experience in Norwegian primary health care ranged from four to 30 years. Analysis was conducted by systematic text condensation. Results: First, immigrant GPs described a gradual process of becoming bicultural: the GPs communicate with immigrant patients on their own terms and draw upon their special knowledge from abroad to help selected patients, while also adapting to Norwegian cultural expectations of the GP’s role. Second, the GPs described being aware of cultural issues in consultations with immigrant and Norwegian patients, but rarely making these issues explicit. The GPs ventured that cultural awareness, together with their personal experience in their own countries and as immigrants in Norway, made them able to sometimes help immigrant patients better than Norwegian GPs. Third, immigrant GPs experienced a big workload related to immigrant patients, but they accepted this as a natural part of their work. Fourth, immigrant GPs felt that they had to work harder and be more careful than their Norwegian colleagues in order to avoid complaints from patients, and to be accepted by colleagues. Conclusions: Immigrant GPs express broad cultural competence and keen cultural awareness in their consultations. The immigrant background of these GPs could be considered as a special resource for clinical practice.

%X This article puts into question the taken-for-granted view that immigrant entrepreneurship is a fast track towards integration in civil society. It does so by examining income and disposable income for immigrant entrepreneurs in Sweden in relation to immigrants that are not entrepreneurs. Data is drawn from the LOUISE database, which is a longitudinal register database covering all individuals above 16 years of age living in Sweden and includes income variables, age, sex, education, employment status and so on. It is shown that immigrant entrepreneurs have substantially lower incomes than employed immigrants and only marginally higher levels of disposable incomes compared to the unemployed when other background variables are held constant. The relationship between the two groups did not change between 1992 and 1998 suggesting that, contrary to what was expected, differences in the state of the economy are not decisive in explaining income differences between the different groups of immigrants. It is suggested that entrepreneurship for immigrants may or may not be positive for the individual, but it is clear that it is not a successful way to fight economic marginalization and segregation. It puts into question the effectiveness of the whole social democratic welfare state when it comes to integrating immigrants into society.

%X This paper analyzes differences in welfare utilization between immigrants and natives in Sweden using a large panel data set for the years 1990 to 1996. We find that immigrants use welfare to a greater extent than natives and that differences cannot be explained by observable characteristics. Welfare participation decreases with time spent in Sweden. Refugees assimilate out of welfare at a faster rate than nonrefugee immigrants, but neither group is predicted to reach parity with natives. Increases in unemployment and immigration, as well as the change in the composition of immigrants, contributed to the increase in welfare utilization in Sweden.

%X Activation has become an important paradigm for social policies in Europe. New migrants and refugees especially constitute a category with particular problems in accessing the labour market, and have thus become a prime target group for activation in some countries. The article addresses the tension between aims of employment and economic self-sufficiency, and social inclusion and participation in a wider sense. Using data from the implementation of the Norwegian introductory programme for newly arrived refugees, we analyse local caseworkers' attempts at negotiating this tension when working with clients whose labour market prospects are conceived of as poor. Two distinct frameworks of interpretation, with distinct consequences for practical implementation, are identified: an activation discourse where the main emphasis is on labour market inclusion; and a citizenship discourse which broadens the goals to include other forms of social participation. © The Author(s), 2009.

%X The experiences of athletes who relocate from their home country have recently been in the centre of attention in sport psychology. The present study examined how migrant athletes construct meanings of a new reality and negotiate their life choices within a matrix of relationships and various cultural narratives of sport, career, and family life. We explore the stories of two transnational athletes in very different settings: a professional athlete moving from Western Africa to Scandinavia, and an amateur elite athlete accompanying his professional migrant partner moving from a Scandinavian country to a cosmopolitan Asian capital. Both athletes participated in in-depth life story interviews spanning three sessions, which enabled them to connect the past, present, and future in subjectively meaningful ways. Athletes' migration narratives were explored through the prism of the relational cultural paradigm, and then analysed with respect to three temporal phases of Cultural Transition Model: pre-transition; acute cultural adaptation; and sociocultural adaptation. For both participants, relational contexts were crucial for the successful navigation of cultural transition and transformation of meaning in sport practices. Both athletes constructed their transitions within transnational space, where cultural adaptation was an open-ended process involving multiple belongings and anticipated future mobilities.

%X The main objective of this article is to show the divergent attitudes of Iranian immigrant men and women towards integration into Swedish society. As several studies have shown, Iranian women have a better chance of adjusting to Western societies than Iranian men. This article discusses the notion that one of the important reasons for this is the determining role of professional position in the life of Iranian immigrants in Sweden. As a result of the improvement in their work status and therefore an improvement in their social position, Iranian immigrant women now have greater possibilities than Iranian immigrant men to overcome the identity crisis which ordinarily makes ethnic groups and cultural minorities lose their sense of fitting into their new social reality. This results, in its turn, in the women having a positive attitude towards the new society and increases the extent of their desire for integration into the new society.

%X Drawing on empirical research with young refugees and asylum seekers (aged 11-18) now living in Sheffield, UK, and Aarhus, Denmark, respectively, this paper explores some of the relationships between identity, belonging, and place. We begin by reflecting on the young people's sense of identity as Somali in the context of periods of forced and voluntary mobility. We then consider what it means to be Muslim in the context of the different communities of practice in Aarhus and Sheffield. Finally, we consider the extent to which the interviewees self-identify as Danish or British. In reflecting on these different dimensions of identification and belonging, we conclude by highlighting the importance of being 'in place' for attachment and security, and identify implications of the findings for integration and cohesion policies.

%X Failure to account for differences between immigrants and natives in their responsiveness to changes in macroeconomic conditions may bias estimates of assimilation effects on immigrant earnings. Using Norwegian register data from 1980 to 1996, we first establish that earnings of immigrants from non-OECD countries exhibit greater sensitivity to local unemployment than do earnings of natives. The empirical analysis further reveals that standard methods of estimation-which fail to consider differential immigrant and native responsiveness-understate earnings growth and overstate cohort differentials among non-OECD immigrants. These biases are attributable to trends in macroeconomic conditions over the sample period. © The editors of the Scandinavian Journal of Economics 2004.

%X This study focuses on a group of refugee women from the Middle East who were forced to leave their homes, live in a refugee camp, and move to a small town in Iceland. Interviews were conducted to explore their experiences of resettlement in their new home. Five themes emerged: receptivity of the community, "Islamic way of life," gender roles, lack of social ties, and language barrier. The women found security in the community and established close ties with other refugee women. However, the women felt lonely and isolated due to limited interaction with locals, which exacerbated their ability to integrate.

%X The role of religion in migration has been a contested subject in previous research and social work practice, with religion being considered both a bridge and a barrier to integration. When considering unaccompanied female minors, struggling to be recognised beyond the prevailing image of the victimised refugee girl, religion is sometimes seen as a force of oppression rather than a tool for integration. In this article, we focus on the embodied practices of young women's lived religion in a context where such practices are constructed as otherness. Based on an interview study with 11 unaccompanied female minors, this article explores the identity negotiations that emerged when migrating from societies where religion plays an integral part in everyday life to a society with highly secular values. By using the concept of (oppositional) gaze, we explore how these young women negotiate their identities at a point where the normative, invisible gaze meets the embodied practices of lived religion. We demonstrate how these young women are themselves agents of their own faith, and we confirm previous research that points to religion as a support structure for unaccompanied minors; however, not without causing friction in their new society. The study shows how lived practices of religion and the development of an oppositional gaze can function as mutually reinforcing processes in identity negotiation. In social work, understanding the role of religion through lived practices might contribute to a more holistic approach when creating solutions for young people experiencing turbulent circumstances of arriving in a new country.

%X Sextiosju flyktingar (52 % män och 48 % kvinnor), som påbörjat svenska för invandrare (SFI) besvarade Karolinska sömn- och återhämtningsformulär och som var översatt/tillbakaöversatt till arabiska. Insomnirelaterade sömnbesvär var extremt hög hos deltagarna och liknar svenskt referensmaterial som har symtom på utbrändhet. Utbrändhet är en dold stressfaktor för ohälsa och försvårar SFI-inlärning, inträde på arbetsmarknad och övrig integration i det svenska samhället. Hälsofrämjande flyktingmottagandet behöver utveckla och kvalitetssäkra metoder, t ex kognitivt beteendeinriktad hälso/sömnskola som förebygger och tidigt upptäcker nyanlända flyktingars sömn- och koncentrationssvårigheter. De hinder som finns för nyanlända flyktingar att ta sig in på arbetsmarknaden måste tas på allvar, för att den politik med fokus på ”arbetslinjen” som regeringen för ska ha effekt.
A study in which the Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire was applied to 67 newly-arrived Arab-speaking refugees (52 % men and 48 % women) attending a Swedish language course (SFI) in Malmö shows that sleep/fatigue problems are very common. The prevalence of disturbed sleep (i.e. insomnia) is similar to that in Swedish-born groups suffering from chronic stress, e.g. burnout. It should be emphasized that in the long term, disturbed sleep may also cause stress and thereby lead to a vicious circle. Preventive measures on the individual level are recommended, such as health-promotion strategies, e.g. a health/sleep course, before starting SFI.

%X Norge har siden begynnelsen av 70-tallet hatt integrering som uttalt målsetting for sin flyktning- og innvandringspolitikk. Debatten rundt om behovet for, og målet med og metoder for integrering, har vært og blir fortsatt heftig diskutert i mange fagmiljøer. Dette har resultert i forskjellige typer prosjekter som har hatt ulik grad av suksess. Integrering, likestilling og deltakelse i et flerkulturelt Norge er en forutsetning for at samfunnet skal få del i innvandreres ressurser og erfaringer (Stortingsmelding nr.17, 1996-97). Det handler om samfunnets behov, men det handler også om enkeltpersoners muligheter til å utnytte sitt fulle potensiale i samfunnet vårt. Hvordan er det mulig for både Aisha fra Irak med seks barn og ingen skolegang, og for atomfysikeren og karrierekvinnen Juliana fra Russland å realisere dette?

Analyser av Statistisk sentralbyrås registerdata viser at innvandrernes individuelle bakgrunn er av underordnet betydning. Langt viktigere er generelle trekk ved kommunenes arbeidsmarked. Tydelige funn er at innvandrerne har høyere arbeidsdeltakelse i kommuner med økonomisk vekst, et mer stabilt næringsliv og et høyt sysselsettingsnivå i hele kommunens befolkning.

%X Refugee women are at increased risk to develop perinatal mental health problems, including postpartum depression. The fact that refugee and immigrant women suffering PPD are more likely to be exposed to poverty, lack of social support, or restricted working opportunities suggest that a comprehensive approach that addresses the broader social determinants of health is suited to effectively support their perinatal mental health needs. However, public health programs with such a comprehensive approach are scarce in most European countries. We will present qualitative findings from ‘Health nurses strengthen integration’, a universal home visiting program aimed to strengthen the integration of refugee families in Denmark. The program includes a minimum of five 2-h meetings including a mind-mapping of families’ psychosocial needs, a focus on parenting in a new culture, and support to connect with social and health services. Nurses are trained in cultural competencies and are provided with interpreters. We conducted 3 focus groups (n = 11) and 2 interviews with health visitors (HV) and 9 interviews with refugee mothers to identify what aspects of a comprehensive approach that foster families’ integration can support the mental well-being of refugee mothers after birth. Using thematic network analysis we found how the structure, extra time, and training in cultural competence facilitated HV to use critical self-reflection and cultural sensitivity, use respectful curiosity, create a safe space for sharing, and ‘hand-hold’ families in interactions with other services. These practices permitted HV understand the complex needs of families, build trust, and facilitate interactions with others services. Interviews with families illustrated how 1) feeling that someone cared ‘like family’, 2) and build-bridging with services (doctor, school, job center) reduced families daily stress. Using the family stress and adaptation theory we will discuss program and policy implications.

%X Due to the agreement of a common Nordic labour market, Finns have for several decades constituted the largest immigrant group in Sweden. However, there have been few studies explicitly concerned with how well they are integrated in the labour market. This paper attempts to fill part of this gap by studying how they succeeded before and after the economic crisis in the 1990s. Employment levels and earnings of Finnish immigrants in prime working ages are compared with those of native Swedes by utilizing matched cross sections of the total population from 1990 and 2001. We aim to see how much of any differential can be attributed to simple background factors such as age, gender, educational level, and county of residence. Our findings reveal that earnings and employment levels of Finnish males are about 10 per cent lower than those of native Swedes, and that this performance gap tends to have become wider over time. There is, however, substantial variation across immigrant cohorts, and differentials in educational levels play a significant role only with regard to the earnings gap. In contrast with the males, Finnish females tend to be better integrated, as their labour market outcomes are very similar to those of native Swedes. © 2006 IOM.

%X As the number of individuals who have been forced to flee their homes and country of origin has increased rapidly in recent years, the need to understand how best to support such individuals, especially the youngest of them, becomes pressing. This study presents findings from interviews with adults who had arrived as asylum-seekers in one of two countries, Denmark or England, when they were children. Qualitative findings based on Interpretative Phenomenological Analyses demonstrate the participants' focus on Language-based challenges that extend to further difficulties, Choosing to succeed, Gaining strength through social support, encouragement and guidance, Integrating two separate worlds into one and Seeing, hearing and understanding children's needs. The participants have had time to reflect on their early experiences of integration, and their voices can inform researchers, educators and other practitioners currently working with refugee children and families.

%X Many of the refugees who have recently arrived in Denmark and other European countries are young people. In order to support refugee youth, it is important to understand how institutions and initiatives in the receiving countries may best facilitate their social inclusion. Drawing on the concept of social capital, this article explores school practices supporting refugees through a qualitative case study of a Danish folk high school—an informal residential college for young people. At the school, participant observation, 10 interviews (with school management, four refugee students and four majority ethnic Danish students) as well as two focus groups (with majority ethnic and refugee students, respectively) were carried out. We discuss the school resources that help create a setting in which students and teachers may work collaboratively to support the integration of young refugees, highlighting four key dimensions: (i) intensive instruction in the local language, (ii) a commitment to nurturing positive inter-ethnic relationships, (iii) a sense of collective responsibility and (iv) an inclusive school ethos. We conclude with a discussion on how lessons from our case study can inform a wider conceptualization of a 'refugee-competent school' setting.

%X This study examines how non-Western immigrants' acculturation strategies are related to managers' hiring rankings. It examines whether hiring managers differ in personality trait inferences depending on whether the candidate is a Turkish immigrant or a native Norwegian. Managers (N=436) evaluated three job applicants in terms of personality and hirability. Across three experimental conditions, the information of one (target) was manipulated and presented as either a native, as an integrated Turkish immigrant, and as a separated Turkish immigrant. The separated Turkish target received lower hirability rankings compared with the other target applicants. The integrated Turkish target was rated as more open, extraverted, conscientious, agreeable, and neurotic than the two other targets. Personality ratings of the Norwegian and the separated Turkish target did not differ significantly. Evaluations of personality were associated with hiring ranking of the Norwegian target only.

%X This study is based on a nationwide survey of local Muslim congregations (n = 105) and focuses on the patterns and function of voluntary social work carried out by the congregations. Muslim congregations in Sweden are not only religious meeting places, but also social meeting places and centres for the organisation of a broad range of social welfare services: outreach activities, support to newly arrived immigrants and activities for children and young people. The work is carried out on a voluntary basis at the intersection between the congregation and the community. Muslim voluntary social work appears to be most intensive in smaller municipalities with a large amount of unemployment. The dominant discourse on Islam in Europe has claimed that Muslim social work is part of an attempt to create self-sufficient enclaves that impede the integration of Muslim immigrants into the wider society. Claims of this type seem, however, to be largely unfounded. The Swedish Muslim congregations that carry out the most voluntary social work are those most interested in co-operation with other organisations and with authorities of different types and those that have the most positive experiences of the wider society.

%X Research often focuses on individual-level factors shaping refugee labour market participation. Less research has been conducted on the implications of the roles of employers, integration programmes, migrant support organisations and similar. This article contributes to the literature by seeking to understand highly educated refugees' perceptions of how civic integration programmes shape opportunity structures for their labour market participation. It is particularly concerned with how the programmes' characteristics of malleability and comprehensiveness inform integration processes. Accordingly, the article analyses identification contestations that transpire within civic integration programmes, as perceived by the participants, and compares how these unfold in three different contexts. A total of 41 semi-structured interviews with highly educated refugees in Oslo, Malmö, and Munich were analysed. The findings suggest that the civic integration programmes were thought to either foster or hinder the participants' employment pathways depending on whether the participants were perceived as highly educated individuals or reduced to the general category of 'refugee'. The differences were traced back to each civic integration programme's capacity to provide malleable integration support, calling attention to the importance of the programmes' acknowledgment of refugees' heterogeneous needs and the pitfalls associated with undifferentiated refugee categorisation.

%X PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to address how young unaccompanied refugees in Norway actively engage in interpersonal relationships. It explores the significance of these relationships in doing well following adversity, according to the young people’s own perspectives.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on a qualitative research design. Data were derived through a combination of participant observation, interviews and research workshops inspired by participatory methods. In total, 12 young unaccompanied refugees, aged 15–20, residing in Norway, participated in the study.FindingsParticipants described actively searching for help and support in order to do well. In addition, they showed concern for others and often described an explicit intention of helping. They engaged in relationships of mutual support and helped others through acts of kindness or social involvement. Nevertheless, the relationships were not only a source of happiness, safety and well-being, but also of pain and worry.Practical implicationsSocial workers who want to strengthen the resilience of young unaccompanied refugees should consider and build on the young people’s capacity for involvement and mutual support.Originality/valueThis study offers a unique analysis of young unaccompanied refugees’ engagement in relationships and the significance of these relationships in doing well following adversity.

%X Newly resettled refugees can meet challenges in their encounter with a new food environment. Culturally sensitive nutrition education resources can promote communication about food and health at an early phase of the migration process and facilitate the transition to a new food environment. In Norway refugees have the right and obligation to participate in an Introduction Program. The aim of this article is to describe the development of nutrition education resources (Healthy Start) to be used in the Introduction Program and how by program advisors evaluated its use. Healthy Start was developed by an interdisciplinary team using an Intervention Mapping (IM) approach. Health and food literacy and culture sensitivity were the guiding concepts throughout the development of the nutrition resources. Independent raters evaluated the curriculum using the suitability assessment method Suitability Assessment Method (SAM) for written materials. The final version of Healthy Start was pilot-tested in four introduction programs and qualitative interviews were conducted with program advisors to evaluate the pilot testing. The final curriculum was divided into ten modules, based on the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. It contained culturally-adapted nutrition education about food and health in a new food environment. It consisted of a PowerPoint presentation, teachers' manual, teachers' template, and an activity booklet for participants. Program advisors and teachers found Healthy Start useful, and suitable for participants and easy for them to use. Healthy Start was developed for use in the Norwegian Introduction Program, but it may be suitable for other settings that involve nutrition education and health promotion with immigrant populations.

%X Aims: This study aimed at comparing several health outcomes in young adulthood among child refugees who settled in the different immigration and integration policy contexts of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Methods: The study population included refugees born between 1972 and 1997 who immigrated before the age of 18 and settled in the three Nordic countries during 1986–2005. This population was followed up in national registers during 2006–2015 at ages 18–43 years and was compared with native-born majority populations in the same birth cohorts using sex-stratified and age-adjusted regression analyses. Results: Refugee men in Denmark stood out with a consistent pattern of higher risks for mortality, disability/illness pension, psychiatric care and substance misuse relative to native-born majority Danish men, with risk estimates being higher than comparable estimates observed among refugee men in Norway and Sweden. Refugee men in Sweden and Norway also demonstrated increased risks relative to native-born majority population men for inpatient psychiatric care, and in Sweden also for disability/illness pension. With the exception of increased risk for psychotic disorders, outcomes among refugee women were largely similar to or better than those of native-born majority women in all countries. Conclusions: The observed cross-country differences in health indicators among refugees, and the poorer health outcomes of refugee men in Denmark in particular, may be understood in terms of marked differences in Nordic integration policies. However, female refugees in all three countries had better relative health outcomes than refugee men did, suggesting possible sex differentials that warrant further investigation. © Author(s) 2021.

%X Her gjør vi derfor et dypdykk og undersøker utviklingen over tid på vesentlige områder for flyktninger som har fått opphold i Norge og blitt bosatt i Kristiansand og IMDis region Sør (Agderfylkene og Telemark) i perioden 2005-2015. Fokuset er på ulike typer av inntekt og sysselsetting arbeidstid bosettingsantall utviklingen i de største kommunene og bruk av grunnskole. I enkelte sammenhenger har vi også sett på kjønnsvariasjoner i denne sammenheng. Analysene som her utføres er basert på avidentifisert og administrativt koblet registerdata som inneholder informasjon om introduksjonsordningen, utdanning, arbeidsmarked og demografiske forhold for flyktninger som har fått opphold i Norge og blitt bosatt i Telemark, Aust-Agder eller Vest-Agder. I tillegg har vi ved hjelp fra SSB koblet disse dataene til Kongsgård Skolesenter (KSS) i Kristiansand sitt eget register over alle flyktningene som har deltatt på introduksjonsprogrammet på skolen. Dette gjør det mulig å følge tidligere introduksjonsprogramdeltakere over tid. Datasettet består av alle flyktninger som har deltatt i introduksjonsprogrammet i IMDi region Sør (Vest-Agder, Aust-Agder og Telemark) i perioden 2005-2015. Vi begrenser utvalget vårt til individer som har fått opphold i Norge i 2002 og etter. Studien er er basert på deskriptive analyser og er ikke en effektstudie, siden den ikke kan si noe om hvilken betydning programmet har hatt for utfallet. Det ville kreve kontrollgrupper som ikke deltok i program, eller som deltok i en annen type program. Undersøkelsen finner at når det gjelder pensjonsgivende inntekt, yrkesinntekt, arbeidstid og andel sysselsatte tidligere deltakere i introduksjonsprogrammet i regionen, er det et vedvarende bilde at en høyere andel av kohortene som fikk opphold på et tidlig tidspunkt er sysselsatte etter lik botid i Norge. Sysselsetningsgraden stiger de 5 første årene etter at første opphold er gitt, deretter flater denne ut. Økt erfaring med introduksjonsprogrammet har altså ikke nødvendigvis ført til bedre resultater.

%X While family migration has often been categorized as “unwanted” or “suffered” immigration in the immigration literature and by policy makers, a closer examination of entry and integration rules for family migrations in Norway suggests that this is only partly true. While the admission of family members is rooted in human rights norms and, in particular, the right to protection of family life, the actual practices of family-based admissions cannot be understood without an analysis of the selectivity of family migration policies according to economic criteria, which reveals that some family migrants are in fact more wanted than others, and that the income requirement allows Norwegian policy makers to select and reject family migrants.

%X Despite claims that prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) can act as a transformative social mechanism and a means of social inclusion, this study reports that PLAR has become a serious barrier to adult learning rather than a facilitator. Drawing from Foucault's concept of governmentality, the study examines the difficulties that immigrant professionals have experienced in having their foreign credentials and work experience recognized in the contexts of Canada and Sweden. Using document analysis and interviews, the study analyses how PLAR has created a system of governing through technologies of power and technologies of the self which work as dividing practices in discounting and devaluating immigrants' prior learning and work experience. The study concludes that PLAR has become a technical exercise and a governing tool rather than a form of social transformation.

%X Finland is undergoing a rapid change from a homogenous culture to a heterogeneous culture. With immigrants from all over the world making Finland their home, a lot of multicultural integration work is needed. Collaborative learning in peer groups can work as a useful framework for enhancing tolerance toward differences, and consumer education and home economics education offer a fruitful setting for this kind of collaborative teaching of tolerance. In particular, the practical nature of consumer education and home economics makes it suitable to teach multiculturalism in a daily life setting. In this study, 10 integration projects in Finland were examined through a qualitative summary to reveal the key elements in successful multicultural integration work. The focus was on multicultural, collaborative interactions. The results show that problems are bound to arise when people from different cultures meet. Daily life situations, culturally unequal settings, poor participation and a lack of real interaction between different cultural groups can be problematic. These problems need to be overcome before the richness of different cultures can be revealed. People need to learn how to use the tools of multicultural and collaborative learning before the group can act successfully. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

%X Kommunerne har en fælles udfordring: Hvordan huser vi de mange flygtninge, der kommer til landet? Der forventes 17.000 flygtninge til Danmark i løbet af 2016. Det er ikke ligegyldigt, hvor de mange flygtninge kommer til at bo. Det er helt afgørende, at de ikke bliver koncentreret i ghettoer, for det skaber en dårlig kontakt til det danske samfund og øger risikoen for parallelsamfund. Jammerbugt Kommune og COWI præsenterer i artiklen arbejdet med at udvikle et GIS-baseret beslutningsstøttesystem, som kan hjælpe politikere og forvaltning med at træffe gode løsninger, der kan understøtte en bæredygtig planlægning ift. integration af nye tilflyttere baseret på stedbundne såvel som statistiske oplysninger.

%X This article assesses how urban segregation and ethnic diversity in Stockholm have been shaped by spatial policy and migration trajectories over time. Much of the urban studies and planning literature defines segregation as a measure of residential mixing. In contrast, our research suggests that segregation could be understood as a lack of opportunities for interaction in public space. In the case of Stockholm, space syntax network analysis and the establishment of ethnicity as a statistical category suggest that despite the social infrastructure provided by the Swedish state, the city's specific spatial configuration alongside its policies of housing allocation have resulted in severe constraints on the potential for co-presence between new immigrants and the native Swedish population. Spatial analysis suggests that the city's public transport infrastructure is a contributory factor in maintaining separation between foreign-born and ethnic Swedes. Coupled with a high level of social deprivation amongst new immigrants, the result is a multi-dimensional spatial segregation process that persists amongst the second immigrant generation, reinforcing ethnic and socio-economic area-based housing segregation. We conclude that despite Sweden's long-standing political vision of social integration, its capital is suffering from increasing ethnic spatial differentiation, which will most likely persist unless a greater consideration of spatial connectivity and an introduction of ethnic and racial equality data in policy and practice are brought to bear.

%X Migrant integration is an issue at the forefront of political debates in many immigrant-receiving countries. Within academia, a rich body of neighbourhood effects literature examines the significance of the residential environment for the socioeconomic integration of international migrants. Another strand of research explores the associations between immigrants' initial region of residence and their subsequent socioeconomic integration. Existing research focuses on a single dimension of geographical context and on the neighbourhood scale. Using Swedish longitudinal register data, we estimate discrete-time event history models to assess how regional and neighbourhood contexts influence refugees' entry into employment. Our study includes all refugees who arrived in Sweden between 2000 and 2009, distinguishing between three categories of refugees: refugees with assigned housing, refugees with self-arranged housing and quota refugees. Our results reveal a clear pattern where the most advantageous regions for finding a first employment are those at the extremes of the population density distribution: the Stockholm region and small city/rural regions. Refugees residing in Malmö have the lowest probability of entering the labour market. Our study also reiterates existing concerns regarding the negative effects of ethnic segregation at the neighbourhood level on labour market participation.

%X Somali students faced many barriers in their schooling during the period when Finnish society and its institutions were adjusting to a new situation in the face of increasing immigration in the 1990s. This ethnographic account describes how inflexible, monocultural practices challenged the students and threatened their identities in one particular classroom (in the Forest Hill School). Simultaneously, the cohesion of Somali families was under threat by acculturation stressors and, consequently, support and control provided for the younger generation by adults was often limited. The age of students upon their arrival in a host society is claimed to be a critical factor in their school attainment. The sample of Somali youth in the present research is characterized as representing a unique sub-population among immigrant youth: "the generation in-between". This generation of immigrant youth faces specific challenges.

%X This article investigates the effect of human capital on the employment acquisition of foreign-born men and women in Sweden. Besides categorizing different levels of education, a distinction is made between type of education, general and vocational, and where education is obtained, home or host country. The data used is based on register data for the year 2003 held by Statistics Sweden. The population under consideration is the total population subdivided by the following countries of birth: Sweden, Former Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Romania, Chile, Germany, Iraq, Iran, and Lebanon. The analysis shows that foreign-born individuals have a higher probability of employment with a vocational and host country education as opposed to a general and home country education.

%X Norway is known to be among world leaders in gender equality and this is supported by increasing volumes of research in this field. However, there is sparse empirical evidence about the views and experiences of immigrants on gender equality. Consequently, this study sought to provide an 'outsider's perspective' on gender equality by engaging with immigrants living in Norway. This study presents findings from in-depth interviews with 27 immigrants living in Stavanger, Norway on their views and experiences of gender equality. Data from the interviews were analysed based on the constructivist grounded theory approach. The study's findings revealed that the participants perceived equal rights at home and in the workplace, through state policies and women's independence, as major indications of gender equality. Although the study suggests that gender equality appears to flourish in Norway, multiculturalism and feminization emerged as challenges towards achieving gender equality in Norwegian society. To address these challenges, it is important for Norwegian society to acknowledge the existence of multiculturalism and engage with it appropriately.

%X <bold>Objective: </bold>Despite the high rate of migration from low- and middle-income countries to high-income countries, there is still a lack of comprehensive studies of gender-specific differences in psychological distress in a diverse group of immigrants. We compared psychological distress between male and female immigrants from low- and middle-income countries living in Oslo, and identified factors associated with distress for men and women, separately.<bold>Method: </bold>A cross-sectional survey with self-administered questionnaires was conducted among 1536 immigrants from low- and middle-income countries living in Oslo. The Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL-10) was used to measure psychological distress. Data on their sociodemographic characteristics, negative and traumatic life events, and social integration and possible discrimination in the Norwegian society were also collected.<bold>Results: </bold>One-fourth of the study population was found to be psychologically distressed, with almost equal levels among men and women. Lack of salaried job and recent negative life events were independently associated with psychological distress for both genders. Furthermore, experience of denial of job and past traumatic experiences were other associated negative factors among men, while visits made by Norwegians appeared as a protective factor against distress among men. Older age, Middle East background, living without a partner, and experiencing denial of housing were other associated negative factors among women.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>Our findings show that, except for adverse living conditions, there are gender differences with regard to factors associated with psychological distress among immigrants living in Oslo. Such gender issues are relevant for assisting immigrants in the integration process as well as for future research in migration and health.

%X In the winter of 2008/09 thousands of people took to the streets of Oslo to demonstrate against the Israeli invasion of Gaza. Young people of visible minority and Muslim background were central actors in these demonstrations. The public expression of Muslim identities and symbols during the demonstrations along with clashes between some of the young demonstrators and the police fuelled the already polarized debate concerning the integration of immigrant youth and Islamic radicalism existing in the Norwegian public realm. Using data gathered through ethnographic fieldwork and web-ethnography we follow the engagement of youth from a multi-ethnic Oslo mosque both online and offline. In critical dialogue with perspectives on political contention and transnational political activism, we analyse this transnational mobilization in terms of the ‘social imaginaries’ that mediated engagement with the Gaza question: ‘the global Muslim imaginary’, ‘secular leftist internationalism’ and ‘integration nations’.

%X Integration of refugees and immigrants in Denmark has so far proved more difficult than expected. In international comparison, Denmark stands out as a laggard, especially when it comes to labor market integration of the new minorities. Xenophobia and prejudices in the majority population are often cited as the main reasons. But individuals from both minorities and the majority also face a collective action dilemma when it comes to integration. In principle a collective action dilemma can be overcome through the working of selective incentives. In the case of integration, however, such incentives are weakened by some of the institutions of the universalistic Danish welfare state. Nevertheless, so far there has been very little ethnicization of Danish social policies. One possible explanation is that such reforms would create a collective action dilemma of their own. Thus the collective action dilemma of welfare state reforms seems to be blocking the solution of the collective action dilemma of integration.

%X Kulturhistorisk Museum Randers har i de senere år sat øget fokus på byens indvandrerhistorie. I 2003 dokumenterede museet de tyrkiske gæstearbejderes historie, og i 2005 blev der set nærmere på tyrkernes børn. Tyrkerne var den første store gruppe af indvandrere i Randers, men er i antal siden blevet overhalet af bosnierne, hvoraf de første kom til byen som krigsflygtninge i 1993. Denne artikel er baseret på en undersøgelse af de bosniske krigsflygtninge, som museet foretog henover sommeren 2010. Udover at klarlægge det historiske forløb for bosniernes tilværelse i Randers, giver undersøgelsen gennem tolv interviews et indblik i, hvordan bosnierne er faldet til i byen. Det beskrives desuden, hvorledes det er at være bosnier i Randers i dag. Interviewgruppen udgjordes af otte kvinder og fire mænd. Blandt kvinderne var der fire, der aldersmæssigt befandt sig i tyverne, mens de resterende befandt sig i henholdsvis trediverne, fyrrerne og halvtredserne. For mændenes vedkommende var den ene halvdel i fyrrerne og den anden i halvtredserne. Undersøgelsen viser blandt andet, at de mål for integration, som Randers Kommune satte sig, da det fra 1995 stod klart, at de bosniske flygtninge ville blive i byen, på de fleste områder stemte overens med ønskerne fra størstedelen af bosnierne. For kommunen blev det i løbet af kort tid det væsentligste, at de mange nye borgere blev i stand til at klare sig selv gennem sprog, beskæftigelse og bolig, mens det for bosniernes vedkommende handlede om hurtigst muligt at komme i gang med det liv, som krig og uvished havde afbrudt. At de bosniske flygtninge skulle integreres socialt i det danske fællesskab og gennem danske netværk var af begge parter prioriteret lavere. Selvom kontakten til danskerne i Randers stadig mest er begrænset til arbejde og uddannelse, opfattes bosnierne i Randers i dag, både af dem selv og den danske majoritetsbefolkning, alligevel som den mest velintegrerede større indvandrergruppe i byen.

%X International migrant workers in European rural regions have supplied rural industries with necessary labour, stimulated the demography of host communities and raised questions about the inclusion of migrants. Using the case of Polish post-accession migrants employed in the farmed salmon industry in rural Norway, we explore the social consequences of changing employment relations in rural industries. By using a temporal perspective, we identify a transition from an inclusive employment regime experienced by the migrants who arrived in the locality within the first years after the EU enlargement in 2004, to an increasingly exploitative, insecure and competitive work environment for recently arrived migrants. We emphasise how employment conditions offered to different 'waves' of migrants affect the ways they perceive their status and value in rural hosting communities. Ultimately, we reflect on the potential long-term consequences of international migration to rural areas.

%X This article explores settlement processes and the difficulties experienced by refugee individuals and communities in Finland. Focus is also directed to the societal and institutional context of settlement, and how the formal status granted to refugees translates into actual participatory activity and linkages in the society. The study is based on primary data from two qualitative studies, conducted in 1993-1994 and 1997-1998, on settlement and integration in Finland. Data suggests that the integration process into an advanced welfare state can be distinct from other models. Strong social rights of settling refugees can occur alongside weak labour market status, bringing out features of 'differential exclusion', peculiar to settlement in this particular context. Finally, a frame is presented for conceptualizing the refugee integration process, incorporating the conditions of emancipation, parity, interdependence and cultural integrity. © Oxford University Press 2004: all rights reserved.

%X This is a study, based upon 22 interviews, of the factors that govern immigrants' acquisition of a second language. Half of the interviewees are illiterate quota refugees from a Kurdish refugee camp and the other half are immigrants with at least six years of school education. The interpretation framework consists of theories of language and language learning with the emphasis on the acquisition of literacy and theories of motivation. The interviewees from the refugee camp have lived under very difficult conditions. It has been difficult to meet their basic needs. The social needs cannot be provided in Sweden because the refugees become isolated, without any contact with Swedes. They lack the contact with speakers of the target language that is necessary for them to acquire the language. The lack of integration into Swedish society leads to their marginalisation. The pedagogic conclusions that can be drawn from this study relate mainly to measures for increasing motivation. In this respect the most important measure is to achieve greater contact with target language speakers.

%X With the shift of political discourse in the European Union away from the idea of multiculturalism, the notion of 'civic integration', frequently accompanied by the language of cultural differences, has become prominent in policies and social interventions. This study explores the experiences of an integration project entitled 'Cultural Friend Tibro', initiated in Western Sweden by local authorities. The main idea of the project is to bring together representatives of different cultural groups - immigrants and local residents - and facilitate the development of friendship-like relationships. Mutual learning, exchange and joy are especially emphasised as a means to overcoming prejudices and social divisions. No specific requirements in terms of ethnicity are demanded of the participants: local residents involved in the project are not expected to be of Swedish origin. Instead, the requirement is that they possess sufficient knowledge of Swedish culture and society. Both categories of participants are considered 'cultural friends'. The procedure of 'matching' newly arrived and 'established Swedes' is hoped to initiate interpersonal interactions. Matching couples individuals or families is done with reference to gender, family situation and possible common interests or hobbies. It is left to the participants themselves to decide whether they would like to develop further relationships. In spite of the seemingly open and friendly format initially promoted by the project organisers, practices of estrangement ('othering') have surfaced in participant reflections on how the project was implemented. In this study, I identify and critically examine manifestations of othering as an effect of employing the notion of culture in the project's rhetoric, as well as possible ways by which participants may spontaneously destabilise the constructed cultural boundaries. This case study is built on the analysis of multiple sources, including ten semi-structured interviews with project participants, inquiries with the project leader, analysis of project documents and advertisements and social media materials.

%X In the OECD countries, immigrants as a statistical population group are deprived in the labour market when compared to natives with the same amount of human capital. This article seeks to reveal some of the possible causes for this by analysing immigrants' position in the Finnish labour market in the 1990s from a gender-specific point of view. It discusses a complex set of variables and correlations between them. Since immigration to Finland is a fairly recent phenomenon, the availability of data, and especially longitudinal data, is limited. To compensate for the lack of data, I have compared the Finnish situation to countries with longer immigration histories. The results imply that in the early 1990s, when immigration to Finland started to increase, the horizontally gendered labour market stratification became vertically divided on the basis of ethnicity. This happened because immigrants' first jobs in the labour market had previously been held by native women. Migration devalued immigrants' educational credentials and other forms of human capital acquired in the country of departure. This made them particularly dependent on social contacts, which were scarce in Finland. As a statistical population, immigrants lacked the means of changing branch. They were trapped in their entry branches; even though immigrants' status in the labour market advanced the longer they stayed in Finland and their social networks developed, the improvement took place within the initial branch of labour. These branches were often not in accordance with the education and work experience that immigrants had obtained before moving to Finland. Immigrants' means of integration was thus not only (the de-valued) human capital, but also social networks (as social capital). Immigrants' employment has followed the gendered structure of the Finnish labour market.

%X Immigrants from Serbia who came to in the 1970s and 1980s found a large number of shared values between Yugoslav ideals of brotherhood and unity and the Scandinavian welfare model. As a result, they felt well integrated into Danish society, almost to the point of being invisible. This invisibility is upheld through a constant emphasis on sameness between themselves and the majority population in the public sphere, while the cultivation of difference has been relegated to the private realm or to cultural associations such as the Yugoslav Clubs. Over the last decade, this 'sharing of values' has been contested from several points of view. During their absence, Yugoslav migrants have witnessed the destruction of their homeland and have been forced to take on a new Serbian identity. In what remained of their former homeland, social and political instability has stimulated a re-traditionalisation of society. Meanwhile, the growing attention given to religion and origins has changed the room for manoeuvre of immigrant families in Denmark, challenging the tight networks hitherto maintained with the home village. Through interviews with members of the Serbian community in Denmark, I explore how they manoeuvre between strategies of visibility and invisibility in their quest to become full members of Danish society while maintaining their cultural particularities. I also look at the often contradictory ways in which the transformation of values and norms in Serbian and Danish society have impacted on the cultural and social practices of Serbian families in Denmark. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.

%X The starting point for this paper is a question that has provoked a recent parliamentary election debate in Sweden: whether fluency in Swedish should be regarded as a requirement when applying for Swedish citizenship. Two main issues have been discussed: the different levels and meanings of citizenship, and language acquisition by adult immigrants as a hindrance or a key to citizenship based on recent research and scholarship. 1 The Swedish policy of integration, being trapped between demos and ethnos , between universality and diversity, has profound consequences for forming Swedish language policy for immigrants. Yet learning a new language is connected with learning a new culture and society. For immigrants the new language is not only a means of survival, but an important step in reconstructing identities. It seems quite natural that a good command of the language is a key to becoming a full and active citizen, i.e. to acquire a citizenship. Comprehension of the language and knowledge of culture of the (new) country helps one to be aware of one's rights and duties and exercise them, to be involved in society and to participate actively in it. The new language and culture can enrich one's identity and make it more complex.

%K NIBR
%X Som en respons på den store tilstrømmingen av mennesker på flukt kom til Norge sommeren 2015, startet en omfattende mobilisering av frivillige for å sikre omsorg og ivaretagelse av flyktningene. Formålet med prosjektet har vært «å få mer kunnskap om frivillighetens ressurser og bidrag i forbindelse med flyktningkrisen og samspillet mellom frivilligheten og myndighetene nasjonalt og lokalt». Prosjektet har sett på innsatsen langs hele asylsøkerkjeden fra ankomst til langsiktig integrering. Prosjektet er avgrenset til den organiserte frivilligheten i form av etablerte store sivilsamfunnsorganisasjoner og nye organisasjoner som har oppstått de siste årene og som aktivt bruker sosiale medier til mobilisering. Prosjektet omfatter ikke de trosbaserte organisasjonene. Prosjektet omhandler heller ikke den lokale innsatsen fra nabolag og velforeninger. Frivillige organisasjoner er aktive langs hele asylsøkerkjeden fra å bistå i flyktninger i første ankomstland som Hellas til langsiktig integrering og innsats i lokalsamfunn i Norge. Innsatsen de frivillige yter kan være en ressurs for flere aktører når den imøtekommer et behov eller en oppgave. I første rekke skal innsatsen være en ressurs for flyktningen. Den skal bistå i at hun eller han får mer kunnskap om norsk språk og samfunn, får muligheten til å få venner og danne nettverk, får ulike former for praktisk hjelp og støtte som kan dyktiggjøre flyktningen slik at det blir lettere å komme i utdanning og arbeid. Vi ser også at det å delta kan være en ressurs for den enkelte frivillige. Frivilligheten er også en mulig ressurs for de kommunale tjenestene, som introduksjonsprogrammet.

(kapittel 2) (2) Hvordan fungerer samspillet mellom myndigheter og frivillige aktører i områdesatsinger, og i hvilken grad og form blir samskaping brukt som strategi? (kapittel 3) (3) Hvilke roller spiller frivillige aktører for integrering av innvandrere, og i hvilken grad bidrar områdesatsinger til aktiv frivillig deltakelse blant barn og unge generelt og blant barn og unge med innvandrerbakgrunn spesielt? (kapittel 4). I rapporten har vi lagt frem og diskutert hva den eksisterende kunnskapslitteraturen sier om våre forskningsspørsmål, og vi har pekt på hva vi trenger å vite mer om i fremtidig forskning på disse spørsmålene.

%X The paper examines agency for social inclusion among Swedish Associations Founded on Ethnic Ground (AFEGs). It focuses on the access of AFEGs to 'public voice' (Solomos 2003) and the opportunity structures for cooperation between AFEGs, public institutions, and other organized interests in the area of social integration in Sweden. Focusing on discursive opportunities, availability of supporters, and public legitimization, we can conclude from three case studies discussed in this paper that there are obvious inequalities present in partnerships between AFEGs and migrant-supporting organizations. In particular, two of the case studies (one and three, high-lighting the relationships between AFEGs, the Equality Ombudsman, and adult education associations), illustrate serious obstacles for their activities.

%X In 2013, more than seventy per cent of Norwegian reception centres for asylum seekers were decentralized or partly decentralized, meaning that the residents lived in ordinary homes dispersed around the town or local area, instead of in a centralized institution. The article presents results from a research project aiming to document and identify how localization, type of buildings and housing quality of asylum centres influence the asylum seekers’ well-being. The main focus of the article is on decentralized asylum centres. The results are based on qualitative case studies of seven selected centres. The housing standard in the case studies varied, but there was generally a lack of maintenance of the buildings. Even if decentralized accommodation was seen as improving the well-being of the residents, empowering them, making them more independent and reducing conflicts, there is a danger that poor housing quality turns it into a symbol of outsidedness.

%X This paper explores social integration of ethnic minority youth in the context of micro-level leisure interaction in Finland. The aim of the study is to disentangle the types of ties that are formed between ethnic minority and majority youth. Moreover, the article will examine how these ties build bridges across group boundaries in the form of providing new leisure resources for ethnic minority youth. The qualitative data of the study consists of multi-sited ethnography conducted in the context of youth work and distinct interview data of ethnic minority youth (n = 38). Strong interethnic ties in the form of close friendships are rare in the data. Instead, many weak ties in the form of distant acquaintances are maintained. However, because of manifold micro-level elements, these weak ties are often too fragile to function as bridges accumulating the leisure resources of ethnic minority youth. Strong interethnic ties seem to have more bridging qualities. Thus, the conceptual distinction of weak/bridging and strong/bonding ties originally formulated in the framework of the labour market may not be applicable in the fields of youth leisure.

%X I løbet af de sidste to årtier har diskurser om »ghettoisering« og »parallelsamfund « vundet politisk terræn i Danmark. Diskurserne afspejler, hvordan forskellige politikområder som by og bolig, indvandring og integration i tiltagende grad har krydset hinanden siden integrationslovgivningens tilblivelse. Med udgangspunkt i en analyse af dokumenter fra regeringen og Københavns Kommune fra 1995-2018 udforsker denne artikel, hvordan nationale og lokale problemrepræsentationer af sociale boligområder udvikler sig over tid, og hvordan det stigende fokus på integration af etniske minoriteter er sammenvævet med skiftende positive eller negative visioner for urban diversitet. Artiklen viser, at der sker i en forandring i problemrepræsentationer af sociale boligområder fra noget, der vedrører generelle sociale og strukturelle vilkår, til noget, der forklares og ansvarliggøres ved »ikke-vestlige indvandrer og efterkommere«, som dermed racialiseres for at legitimere rumlige forandringer. På trods af skiftende politiske regeringer forekommer en vis progression i måden, hvorpå ghettodiskursen foldes ud og effektueres. Undervejs sker en tilnærmelse mellem nationale og lokale politikområders problemrepræsentationer, bl.a. i forhold til vurderinger af former for forskellighed som »blanding« af boliger, der involverer salg og innovation, som ses som samfundsgavnlige, og etnisk forskellighed, som ses som en trussel for den sociale sammenhængskraft. During the past two decades, discourses on "ghettoization" and "parallel societies" have gained political ground in Denmark. The discources illustrate the way different policy areas such as urban and housing issues and migration and integration issues to an increasing extent intersect. Based on an analysis of political documents from the Danish government and the municipality of Copenhagen from 1995-2018, this article explores how national and local problem representations develop over time, and how an increasing focus on integration of ethnic minorities is interwoven with shifting positive or negative visions for urban diversity. The article shows a change in the problem representations of social housing from something that involves general social and structural conditions to a responsibility of "non-Western migrants and their descendants," and thus represents a racialisation that legitimizes spatial changes. Despite shifting political regimes, there is a certain progression in the unfolding and effectuation of the discourse on ghettoization. Along this process, local and national problem representations approach one another, e.g. in evaluations of forms of positive diversity such as "mix" of people and housing that involve sale and innovation, and of negative ethnic diversity which is seen as a threat to social cohesion.

%X The study investigates how a clinical sample of Iraqi refugee men speak about their lives in Norway, specifically on their experiences related to factors known to be influential in the restoration of normality in exile. Using thematic analysis (TA), the major themes extracted in this study relate to employment, finances and social support. These themes were all found to be influential in the lives of the participants, encouraging a sense of normality when in place. Drawing from Conservation of resources theory and The resource-based model of refugee adaptation, the key-findings suggest that (1) access to resources are regulated by social and political conditions and that (2) resource spirals perpetuate positive and negative cycles in the lives of the participants. We also engage in discussions on social inequality, discuss implications of the findings for service providers, and finally we make suggestions for future research.

%X Food is a central aspect of care in late life. This article focuses on the growing number of elderly Muslim immigrants in Denmark who on the basis of Service Act §94 can have a family member employed by the municipality as their “self-appointed helper.” The task is often given to a spouse, daughter or daughter-in-law, whose task is then to provide the care services for which the elderly person has been referred. Usually this would be undertaken by professional care workers, but instead a close family member is employed to fulfil the tasks. Food and meals is an area of conflicts between the elderly citizens, their self-appointed helpers and the municipality, since they often have different approaches to and understandings of the aim, function and meanings of food and meals. It is the ambition of  the so-called universal Scandinavian welfare state to treat all citizens equal. However, the ambition and efforts of municipal care managers (visitatorer) to create the same conditions and equal opportunities for all elderly citizens, paradoxically result in elderly Muslims immigrants (and their families), being further marginalized in Danish society. © 2021 Association for the Study of Food and Society.

%X Dette notatet presenterer en studie av hvordan et utvalg flyktninger har opplevd sitt møte med distriktskommunene Vågå, Sel og Nordre Land. Studien er basert på intervju med flyktninger som er helt i slutten av introduksjonsprogrammet eller har nylig avsluttet dette. Det betyr at de har vært i kommunen i 3-4 år, og er på spranget til å finne seg jobb eller gå på videre utdanning. Hensikten med studien er å få frem flyktningene sin egne erfaringer med å komme til et nytt lokalsamfunn. Notatet gir innsikt i hvordan flyktningene har opplevd møtet med kommunen og befolkningen der, hvilke erfaringer de har hatt med de ulike instansene i hjelpeapparatet, deres erfaringer med praksis og møte med arbeidslivet, deres erfaringer med deltakelse i fritidsaktiviteter, og hvilke mål og planer de har for fremtiden.

%X For å gi flyktninger grunnleggende kompetanse, og dermed en mer solid basis for å delta i arbeid og utdanning, startet myndighetene i 2004 introduksjonsordningen for flyktninger. Dette er et to- til treårig heltids kvalifiseringsprogram, der flyktningene i tillegg til å få opplæring i språk og samfunnskunnskap deltar i ulike typer aktive arbeidsmarkedstiltak. I denne rapporten gjennomgår vi tidligere forskning om effekter av arbeidsmarkedstiltak for flyktninger, og vi analyserer, med basis i norske registerdata, hvordan flyktningers integrasjonsforløp varierer med om de fikk eller ikke fikk tilbud om introduksjonsordningen da de kom til Norge.

%X Although there is much discussion of educational needs and how to integrate Muslim students into modern Western contexts, there is a shortage of research on teachers' attitudes about these issues. Finland offers a particularly interesting context for research, given its relatively new, small, yet rapidly growing Muslim population, its prominence of negative attitudes to visible religiosity, and its official policy of multiculturalism. This article presents the results of a quantitative study of Finnish teachers' attitudes to Muslim students and to their integration into Finnish schools. A nonprobability sample of Finnish preservice and practicing teachers ( N = 864) was surveyed and the resulting data analyzed with exploratory factor analysis, t-tests, and ANOVA. The results indicate that Finnish teachers consider learning about general democratic values important, but their attitudes to dealing with Islam and Muslims are not quite as positive. However, previous involvement with other cultures indicated more positive attitudes among preservice teachers. Female teachers and practicing teachers were more oriented toward the teaching of commonality, and teaching at a more advanced level indicated more positive attitudes to Muslims and Muslim integration.

%X Finland has quite a short history of receiving refugees. Compared to the other western countries, Finland has few immigrants living within its borders: they represent less than 2% of the population. The Finnish government has the responsibility of receiving refugees. Every immigrant who registers as an unemployed job seeker is entitled to a personal integration plan. The role of the NGOs is to supplement the elements and opportunities of these integration plans. What this system needs is the establishment of cooperation between the authorities, the NGOs and the immigrants. The Finnish Red Cross "Kotopolku" project assists the immigrants in their integration process and creates new tools for integration. "The Integration-Timeline" is a tool based on life span theories which aims to assist immigrants in analysing their own integration process in order to be able to make better plans and life strategies for themselves. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] La Finlande a une histoire relativement récente en ce qui concerne l'accueil des réfugiés. Comparée aux autres pays de l'Ouest, la Finlande a très peu d'immigrants: ils représentent moins de 2% de la population du pays. Le gouvernement finlandais est responsable de l'accueil des réfugiés. Chaque immigré inscrit comme demandeur d'emploi a droit à un plan individuel d'intégration. Le rôle des ONGs est d'offrir des éléments et des possibilités qui viennent compléter les plans d'intégration. Ce qui manque à ce scénario est la misc en place de liens coopératifs entre les autorités, les ONGs et les immigrés. Le projet ≪ Kotopolku ≫ de la Croix Rouge finlandaise assiste les immigrés dans leur processus d'intégration et crée de nouveaux instruments pour l'intégration. ≪ La ligne du temps de l'intégration ≫ est un instrument basé sur les théories du cycle de la vie et qui sert à aider les immigrés dans l'analyse de leur propre processus d'intégration de façon à ce qu'ils puissent établir de meilleurs projets et stratégies d'avenir.

%X The labour market incorporation of high-skilled immigrants is of key concern to receiving societies and migrating individuals alike. This paper draws on life-story interviews with 19 high-skilled Eastern Europeans in Denmark to develop a time-geographical trajectory notation for analysing immigrants' individual movements in social space across time. I propose a typology of five paths, each partly shaped by variations in the intersections of individual and historical temporalities. Three of these paths—'re-entry', 'ascent' and 're-education'—lead into the higher parts of the host country labour market, while the two paths of 're-migration' and 'marginalisation' remain outside.

%X The purpose of this study is to investigate how the open-air museum of Skansen in Stockholm as venue for celebration of Persian Fire Festival is assessed by the festival's visitors. The study is based on a delimited part of a larger online survey with 280 completed questionnaires including both close-ended and open-ended questions, and a qualitative thematic analysis method has been used in this paper. The results show a high level of appreciation of the Skansen venue that gives the visitors positive emotions, meanings, place attachment, place identity and a sense of place. Contributing factors have been the high status of the venue that has given the visitors pride and dignity; security and safety of the venue; size of the venue; and the natural beauty of the venue. The most important disadvantage factor has been the lack of accessibility combined with lack of sufficient public transport. The results have implications for the Swedish society, for the policy makers in Stockholm city and for both the host and the organiser of the festival and gives rise to new debates on immigrants' socio-cultural integration into Swedish society. This paper gives a contribution to existing literature on festival venue and its impact on the visitor's overall assessment of the festival.

%X Sweden has been an immigrant country since World War II, with a mix of labour (especially from neighbouring Nordic countries) and refugee immigration up to the early 1970s and a large inflow of refugees, especially from the Middle East, after that. In 2002, almost 13 percent of the Swedish population was born in another country, summing up to more than one million inhabitants out of a total nine million. Labour immigrants arriving before 1970 used to have a labour-market achievement on a par with native Swedes. In recent decades, however, the first generation of immigrants, particularly those of non-European origin, have had relatively poor success in the labour market. This is counterbalanced by two facts: first, immigrants' labour-market attainment improves with years of residence in Sweden; second, there is considerable assimilation across generations. The second generation (born in Sweden, or who immigrated before starting school) do almost as well in the labour market as those with two Swedish-born parents. The remaining worry for this group is their relatively low employment rates. © The British Academy 2007. All rights reserved.

%X The possible protective effect of family and activity (including work and employment training) on posttraumatic reactions in traumatized refugees living in a host society was explored. A total of 966 refugees participated in the study, the majority of whom had been exposed to war and/or torture trauma prior to arrival in Norway. The study sample consisted of two groups: one had been referred to a psychiatric outpatient clinic for evaluation or treatment, the other consisted of refugees interviewed in connection with a health examination upon arrival in the municipalities to which they were allocated. The study showed that presence of family and employment/training had positive effects on posttraumatic symptoms regardless of level of traumatic exposure. But the results also showed that the higher the level of exposure to traumatic events, the stronger the effect of family (spouse and/or children) seemed to be. The study illustrates the importance of implementing psychosocial measures with special emphasis on activity and strengthening of family systems, in the integration of traumatized refugees in a host community.

La muestra consiste en dos grupos: el primer grupo habia sido referido previamente a una clinica psiquiátrica para evaluación y tratamiento; el segundo grupo consiste en refugiados que habian sido sometidos a una examinación clínica llevada a cabo en las municipalidades que les fueron asignadas a su llegada a Noruega. El estudio muestra que la presencia familiar y los actividodos laborales/entrenamiento tiene efectos positivos en síntomas post-traumáticos, sin importar el nivel de exposición traumótica. Los resultados también demuestran que los efectos de la presencia familiar en los síntomas son todavía más evidentes en personas que han sufrido experiencias traumáticas más fuertes. El estudio ilustra la importancia de implementar medidas psicosociales con especial ênfasis en la actividad y el fortalecimento de los sistemas familiares para la integración de refugiados traumatizados en sociedades receptoras.

%X Applying insights from newer anthropological kinship studies, this article suggests that the current Danish immigration regime is based on and legitimized by a certain kind of 'kinship images' that are used and reproduced in Danish public and political discourses. Since 2002, every Danish citizen applying for family reunification with foreign spouses has been met with a 'requirement of national attachment', which basically distinguishes within the pool of citizens between the 'real' and the 'not-quite-real' Danes. The article discusses the possibilities of 'integration' in the current situation where Danish legislation and public discourses tend to distinguish between Danish citizens on the basis of their family history and national attachment. The article furthermore discusses different strategies of 'kinning' through which the 'not-quite-real' can aspire to become 'real' Danes.

%X Restrictive rules for family unification are in place in a range of European countries today. In response, some persons affected by these rules are mobilizing their European Union (EU) citizenship to bring in a spouse from outside the EU. EU free movement legislation provides extensive protection of family life for mobile citizens enabling them to sidestep or contest national law. This article discusses what such restrictive policies and migrant strategies entail for the economic, sociocultural, and political integration of transnational couples. It develops a dynamic, multidimensional analytics of integration beyond the nation-state. The merits of this approach are then illustrated through a heuristic case study based on narrative interviews with Danish-international couples in the border region of Øresund. I show that while restrictive domestic rules for entry can be a barrier to integration, EU citizenship can help promote inclusion in existing and emerging communities.

Rapporten er en videreføring av rapporten til Molstad og Steinkellner fra 2020, som beskrev familieinnvandringen i perioden 1990-2018, og tidligere rapporter og artikler. I tillegg omfatter denne rapporten også et eget kapittel om samlivs- og ekteskapsmønsteret til de største gruppene av norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre. Dette kapittelet bygger videre på arbeidet til Andersen (2017) om innvandreres husholdningssammensetning. Her ble parforhold og husholdninger beskrevet for voksne norskfødte med innvandrerforeldre. Rapporten inneholder videre et «dypdykk» som omhandler integreringen blant familieinnvandrere som ankom Norge i tidsperioden 2006-2008 og som var i alderen 25 til 50 år i ankomståret. Valget av indikatorer brukt til å måle integrering bygger til dels på rapporten til Barstad og Molstad fra 2020 om integrering av innvandrere i Norge

%X The question of mobile Roma beggars in Europe has been analysed in terms of securitization, racialization, and deportability. These people have been hailed as 'abject' or 'failed' citizens, the problem of race being made largely invisible. In the Swedish context, the category of race does not emerge in overt form, and Swedes generally imagine themselves to be an egalitarian and just society. However, in Stockholm, in 2015, the unprecedented visibility of rough sleeping EU-migrants turned daily chance meetings tasks into 'ethical encounters'. Using the concept of enacting citizenship and the Narrative Policy Framework, this article analyses day-to-day narratives about 'vulnerable EU citizens' constructed by the media and experts in the winter of 2015 in Stockholm. Most press narratives would silence the voices of migrants, framing them as passive victims, their problem being defined in terms of extreme temperature, thus making cold weather the principle villain. With regard to acts of citizenship, the paper analyses expert opinions on the migrants' performance. Their stories and discourse reveal the image of a 'vulnerable EU citizen': one of a passive, begging, distressingly visible individual who is failing to perform citizenship. This shortcoming is regarded here as contributing to the justification of a wider policy framework in which the migrants' claims are seen as unfounded and undeserved, while their attitude is viewed as unappreciative, although they would allegedly not be racialized as a group.

%X Close to 20 percent of the Swedish population are of immigrant origin; one in eight is foreign-born. About 45 percent of all immigrants originate from outside Europe and most of these have entered the country as refugees or relatives of refugees. Issues connected to immigration, including the number of immigrants, settlement patterns and level of social integration of ethnic minorities, have been much discussed in Sweden in recent decades. This paper focuses on the integration of Latin American immigrants in Sweden. It compares the level of integration - measured as educational achievement, labour market participation, income and housing - experienced by first and second generation migrants. I use register information allowing me to include all 1st and 2nd generation Latin Americans that have lived in Sweden between 1990 and 2006 (in total 127,000 individuals). Data are longitudinal, which means that individuals can be followed over time. I make use of the longitudinal material in order to study changes in residential patterns and in attempts to explain educational and employment outcomes for second generation Latin Americans. The general conclusion of the paper is that in terms of integration, LAC immigrants have an intermediate position compared to other immigrant categories; they are often better off than people from Africa and the Middle East but clearly below the level experienced by some other migrants, especially those from Western Europe. This cannot be explained by level of education. The average level of education is high for first generation immigrants from LA countries. For many people, the level of labour market participation and income increase over time but one important result of this analysis is that second generation Latin Americans seem to do less well in Sweden compared to many other second generation migrants.

%X Compared with many European countries, Finland has a shorter history of immigration. During the last 20 years, Finland has become a more multicultural society. Together with rising levels of immigration, teachers' concerns regarding how to manage an increasingly diverse school population have arisen. There are an increasing number of students with different cultural and native language backgrounds in Finnish schools. However, the school system is far from being an all-encompassing multicultural environment for all. Notwithstanding, there are already many practices that do work. In this study, we aimed to find existing practices that, from the point of view of teachers, make immigrant education work. The data consists of interviews with nine teachers who work with immigrant children in schools where the educational language is Finnish. The interviews have been analysed to classify good practices in Finnish immigrant education. Our results show that in addition to adequate lingual support, fluent co-teaching and co-planning in schools, utilising school assistants' working time and skills in various and creative ways have turned out to be effective for the learning and social integration of multicultural students. Carefully and individually planned transitions from preparatory classes to general education also seem to be important. Most of the good practices that teachers mentioned were associated with transplanting the Finnish language and culture onto the 'others'. Scrutinising the thoughts and attitudes behind these good practices would help to create even better, more multicultural ways of arranging education for cultural diversity, which is inclusive of native Finnish students.

%X The present study aims to examine the extent to which adolescents of immigrant background experience acculturative stress (i.e., cultural clashes with parents and ethnic victimization in school) in multiple contexts, and the reasons why such stress takes a toll on their psychological functioning and views of themselves. The analytic sample includes adolescents of immigrant background residing in Sweden (N = 423, Mage = 13.19, SD = 0.51). Cluster analysis revealed five distinct groups of adolescents, based on their reports of cultural clashes with parents and ethnic victimization in school: (1) low on both acculturative stressors, (2) average on both acculturative stressors, (3) high on cultural clashes only, (4) high on ethnic victimization only, and (5) high on both acculturative stressors. Mediation analysis showed that adolescents who experienced cultural clashes at home and who were also victimized by their peers in school reported higher levels of feeling in between cultures than adolescents in all the other clusters (except those high on cultural clashes only), and in turn reported higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower levels of self‐esteem. The present study highlights the importance of understanding immigrant youth's experiences across multiple contexts simultaneously in order to develop a holistic perspective on their adjustment and integration processes.

Follow-Up Studies
%X PurposeUnaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) from Somalia are one of the largest groups of UASC in Europe and Sweden. The current study is a follow-up of a Swedish study conducted in 1999, where unaccompanied asylum-seeking girls (UASG) from Somalia were interviewed. In 2013, UASG from the 1999 study were interviewed again, as adults who have settled and found a new life in Sweden. The purpose of this paper is to explore how these women experienced their transition into the Swedish society.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative research design using semi-structured interviews was adopted for this descriptive study. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.FindingsUASG need support from different groups of adults, ranging from the staff at the group homes to community members, including countrymen, to establish a good life in their new country. The UASG need understanding and knowledgeable staff that can support them through the initial period, when they do not have their parents close to them. All actors in the supporter network need more knowledge about the difficulties in war situations. Former UASC can assist newcomers as well as being informants to authorities in a new country. Both parties involved need to be open and willing to learn from each other.Research limitations/implicationsUASG who consider themselves successful in being integrated into the Swedish society were interviewed and, therefore, the study mainly describes aspects that promote integration.Originality/valueThere are limited follow-up studies on how UASG have experienced their life after almost two decades in the new country.

%X The purpose of the present article was to investigate social psychological processes leading to complex patterns of inclusion and exclusion. Following Sarah Ahmed’s theory of the phenomenology of ‘being stopped’, we explored young adults’ experiences of coming to or living in Sweden. The empirical material used consists of four strategically selected case studies. Living in the new Europe can be described as an experience of having to constantly deal with patterns of exclusion/inclusion. These patterns of exclusion/inclusion vary over time. They create new social bonds, strategies used to cope with prejudices and discrimination, and new identities. The four cases illustrated more or less successful attempts to deal with exclusion. Discrimination and the feeling of being different clearly affected young people’s self-esteem and life plans. Lack of integration is not only related to ethnicity and language, but also to connectedness to social and institutional structures.

%X Different theoretical frameworks offer competing explanations for the settlement patterns and residential mobility of international migrants. Some highlight migrants' neighbourhood preferences, whereas others emphasise structural constraints in the housing market. This paper aims to test three theories on migrants' socio‐spatial mobility—the theories of spatial assimilation, place stratification, and ethnic preference—by investigating the extent to which migrants move away from distressed immigrant‐dense neighbourhoods in the Swedish cities of Stockholm and Malmö, as well as the timing of that mobility. Applying discrete‐time event history analysis to unique Swedish longitudinal register data, the paper reveals considerable differences in the residential mobility patterns between migrant groups and between the two cities. It also finds that newly arrived migrants are more likely to move away from distressed areas compared with long‐established ones. These results cast doubt on the spatial assimilation theory, indicating evidence for the place stratification theory. The paper contributes to an enhanced understanding of the determinants of residential segregation in Swedish metropolitan areas.

%X Besides defining the juridical relationship between individuals and a state, citizenship holds informal importance of belonging and empowerment in social environment. Perceptions of a “good citizen” reflect normative social and political construction of a society, which is often simultaneously influenced by human rights, migration, security, geopolitics, and nation-building. Initiatives to renegotiate the previously liberal Finnish citizenship became topical in the country’s public discussions after changes in European security discourse in 2014. In early 2017 Finnish national broadcast agency, Yle, reported that Finnish-Russian dual citizens were covertly excluded from holding strategic military positions. Through the analysis of media presentations of these news and spontaneous discussions stimulated by them in an online forum of Finland’s Russian speakers, this article examines citizenship as a discursive membership in Finnishness and Russianness. Ways of claiming, identifying, validating, and challenging “proper” citizenship have differed clearly in the discourses presented in Finnish national media and in online Russian-language discussions. Journalists and the defense minister, who was a key figure in the media discussions, presented citizenship as a flexible instrument of international security politics. The online discussions spawned debates about the possibilities of inclusion through integrating into and acclimating to Finnish social environment. The most alienating discourse in the online discussions entailed a belief that documented family history is essential for inclusion to citizenship-membership. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Помимо определения юридических отношений между человеком и государством, гражданство имеет и менее формальные значения, такие как закрепление принадлежности к сообществу, а также расширение прав и возможностей в социуме. Представления о том, каким должен быть «хороший гражданин», отражают нормативное социально-политическое устройство общества. Одновременно на представления о гражданстве влияние оказывают вопросы прав человека, миграции, безопасности, геополитики и государственного строительства. Ð’ Финляндии инициативы по пересмотру ранее либеральной концепции гражданства стали активно обсуждаться в публичном пространстве после изменений в дискурсе европейской безопасности в 2014 году. Ð’ начале 2017 года в СМИ появились новости о том, что людям, имеющим двойное финско-российское гражданство, было негласно запрещено занимать стратегически значимые воинские должности. Данная статья анализирует представляемые финскими СМИ новости об изменениях в законодательстве о гражданстве, атакже спонтанные дискуссии на эту тему на русскоязычном онлайн-форуме в Финляндии. Таким образом, статья исследует дискурсивное отношение людей к гражданству как членству в «финскости» и «русскости». Способы определения, подтверждения и оспаривания «настоящего» гражданства отчетливо различаются в дискурса … СМИ Финляндии и онлайн-дискуссий на русском языке. Ð’ СМИ журналисты и министр обороны Финляндии определяли гражданство прежде всего как гибкий инструмент политики в сфере международной безопасности. Ð’ то же время в рамках дискуссий на русскоязычном онлайн-форуме были сформулированы представления о возможности принадлежности к гражданству посредством личных достижений и интеграции в социальную среду. Наиболее отчуждающий дискурс повлек за собой веру в то, что документация семейной истории необходима для включения в гражданство-членство. Наименее инклюзивные способы понимания гражданства формировались в рамках дискурса, постулирующего необходимость подтверждения семейной истории и происхождения для включения в сообщество граждан.

%X This article discusses factors that affect the exclusion of older immigrants in Finland. The meaning of intergenerational relationships to older immigrants in an everyday life context is versatile and comprises support, commitment and expectations between generations. The second and third generations are doing their best to cope with their own everyday life and integration process while being under the pressure to meet the varied expectations of the first generation. The topic is explored using qualitative data drawn from interviews with three-generation families from the former Soviet Union. The study found that satisfying factors of everyday life, such as housing or activities offered by society and the possibility to live close to the children and grandchildren reflect the feeling of inclusion to the host society. Dissatisfying feelings such as hostile attitudes, deficient language acquisition and a longing for the former home country, people and places there, affect the feelings of social and emotional exclusion. The exclusion faced by older immigrants in the Finnish society seems to be more complicated and sensitive than is generally recognized; it is illustrated through the emotions of immigrant elders rather than through their active actions or participation.

Labour market integration
%X This paper assesses the labour market integration of ex-Yugoslav immigrants in Austria and Sweden in terms of three relevant structural characteristics of the two societies: immigration policies, labour markets and welfare regulations. The Austrian 1996 micro-census and the Swedish 1997 labour force survey data are utilised to explore the labour market attainment of ex-Yugoslav citizens in Austria and Sweden in terms of four outcomes: labour force participation, unemployment, economic sector concen tration and occupational status. The labour market situations of pre-1973 immigrants in Sweden and Austria were found to be quite similar, while more recent immigrants to Sweden show distinctly lower activity rates and higher unemployment risks compared to natives than do their counterparts who went to Austria. If successful in finding a job, recent Yugoslav immigrants in Sweden managed to enter more prestigious occupations than their compatriots in Austria, but immigrants in both countries are disadvantaged if compared to the native-born. The study demonstrates that, when controlling for period of migration, citizenship per se does not influence labour market outcomes in Sweden. In Austria, in contrast, non-citizens have higher risks of employment in the non-tertiary sector and hold jobs of lower occupational status.

We draw on our findings of collaborative ethnographic fieldwork with unaccompanied refugee minors in Finland. The practical aim of the art project was to offer a platform for transcultural communication and interaction, and to support mutual understanding and solidarity among the refugee minors and Finnish pupils. The collaborative ethnographic approach gave us an opportunity to meet the young people through working together and be equally active members of the group sharing the same classroom. Theoretically we aim to enlarge the understanding of the sense of belonging and the role of the subjective agency of the unaccompanied minors, including everyday participation. We highlight the practices through which the minors can be supported in an embracing manner in their everyday lives in new host societies.

%X The article explores everyday hospitality and politics through inclusive forms of integration initiatives in everyday life and urban communities in Denmark and Norway. It investigates how local initiatives and creative social strategies by local actors can empower and include refugees and immigrants in local communities. This article is based on participant observations of urban communities in Denmark and Norway working to welcome refugees and create new cross-cultural meeting places. We argue that people mobilize and take action when faced with emergency, and that the many welcome initiatives organized around theatre, food, dance and music can rework difference. The cases relate to the discussion of hospitality, the production of meaningful meeting places in a local context and the embodied encounters promoted by these activities. This article discusses everyday hospitality and politics in light of the transition in the Nordic welfare states, which has made the debate around inclusion of refugees and immigrants in local communities and the welfare state centre. © 2021 The Author(s).

%X NIBR har gjennomført en evaluering av integreringspakke I og midlertidig lov med tilpasninger til introduksjonsloven (‘midlertidig lov’). Integreringspakke I er en tiltakspakke på totalt 456 mill. kroner som gjennom finansiering av ulike tiltak skulle bidra til å gi et styrket opplæringstilbud for flyktninger og andre nyankomne innvandrere under pandemien. Formålet med oppdraget er å evaluere om integreringspakken I og midlertidig lov ble implementert etter intensjonen, og hvordan det har påvirket relevante aktørers integreringsarbeid under pandemien, samt eventuelle utfordringer i implementeringen. Oppdraget har inkludert to delleveranser. I januar 2021 leverte NIBR en underveisevaluering av integreringspakke I og midlertidig lov, basert på intervjuer med sentrale aktører og to spørreundersøkelser: en til integreringsansvarlige i kommunene og én til karrieresenterledere i fylkene. Inneværende rapport bygger videre på disse funnene, men baserer seg i tillegg på kvalitative casestudier av seks kommuner, fire fylkeskommuner, og fire statsforvaltere, samt analyser av tiltak og resultater for introduksjonsprogrammet basert på NIR- og registerdata.

%X This study aims to evaluate an intervention, consisting of nine weeks of health-management course, combined with social and working life orientation and language instruction for recently settled immigrants in Sweden. One hundred one participants in the intervention groups and 48 participants in the control group participated. The intervention consisted of a health management course combined with social and working life orientation and the control group participated in the regular local authority program for social and working life orientation. Measurement instruments were health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and registration of work rate. Several participants in the groups were in work, primarily in subsidized employment, after six months. Recently settled men were employed to a greater extent than the women, where poorer physical and mental health could be observed among women in this study. Participants in the intervention and the control groups had maintained HRQoL from pre-intervention to six months post-intervention. More studies investigating the participants experiences of the health-managing course but also more homogenous measurements in studies for recently settled immigrants are needed.

%X Denna artikel lyfter fram problemet med exkludering ochdiskriminering och deras inverkan på relationer mellanmajoritetssamhället och migranter och diskuterar identitetsskapande,gränsdragningar, identifikationer ochgemenskapsbildande inom denna kontext. Artikeln utgårfrån den kurdiska diasporans erfarenheter i Sverige ochbygger på individuella intervjuer.
The aim of the article is to highlight the impact of discrimination and exclusion on identity and belonging among diaspora communities. It proceeds from the Kurdish diasporic experiences in Sweden and is based on individual interviews. The article discusses how and why respondents face exclusion and discrimination in their daily life, how they experience that, how they react, and why they react in a certain way. The analytical framework is the theory of diaspora which I define as transnational social movement for alternative home and community formations. This definition implies not only experiences of homelessness, loss and marginality but also collective action, and formation of collective identities around the projects of home and community. This transnational perspective goes beyond the discourses about assimilation or integration versus isolation. It rather argues that these identities, networks and communities must be seen as products of an ongoing transformation of society. They must be analysed in relation to stratification and distribution of power in a global perspective, and to globalization and the related processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization rather than as an expression of imported immigrant cultures. These processes are going on within a context where, on the one hand, people with different colour and origin are excluded and, on the other hand, they get the possibility to build their own ethnic communities within the framework of Swedish multiculturalism. Respondents’ experiences of and relation to Sweden as well as to the Kurdish community are complex, contradictory, and multifaceted. They vary within the group according to many factors such as class, gender, occupation, social background, political and ideological convictions, and age. There is, however, a common general tendency, though very complex and ambivalent, regarding their relation to Swedish society and the Kurdish community. Since they feel that they are not welcomed into the Swedish society accordingly they don’t feel at home in Sweden. Thus they are drawn to the Kurdish community and its network of everyday life and activities where they are welcomed, and where they feel a sense of belonging. They find a home in the Kurdish community even if many people, especially women, continually challenge its boundaries.

%X Sports are one of the main forms of action for the immigrants associations in Finland. In addition to the meaning of advancement of physical and mental health, sports have other meanings and functions for associations: Sports activities have crucial significance for the 'diasporic production' of ethnic identities. The relationship between sports and ethnicity depends on whether associations are oriented towards their "original" ethnic identity and culture, ethnic majority and country of settlement, or multiculturalism and cultural hybridization. These orientations on their behalf lean on different discourses, which associations produce and reproduce in their sports activities. The relationship of ethnicity and sports is approached through three discursive formations in the article: (i) discourse of cultural tradition, (ii) discourse of integration, and (iii) discourse of ethno-cultural hybridization. In the first, sports activities are considered to strengthen the cohesion of ethnic groups associations claim to represent. Sports offer an effective way for collective retrospection of the country of origin. In discourse on integration sports get their meaning from integrating immigrants to Finnish society and culture. In the third discourse sports are considered as space, where cultures and identities mix or their meanings as categories organising relationships between people vanishes. In the end of the article, these discursive orientations are approached with the concept of diaspora. Discourse of cultural tradition and part of the utterances expressed in discourse of integration symbolize yearning for lost home and origins. For associations and sports performing discourse of hybridization, the question is rather about aspiration to symbolically manage with the displacement of culture and identity without basing on any fixed cultural entity. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Lähes kaikentyyppiset maahanmuuttajayhdistykset järjestävät liikuntatoimintaa Suomessa. Liikuntatoiminnan ja etnisyyden suhde jakautuu sen mukaan ovatko yhdistykset orientoituneet toiminnassaan edustamansa etnisen ryhmän identiteettiin ja kulttuuriin, "valtaväestöön" ja uuteen elinympäristöön vai monikulttuurisuuteen. Erilaiset orientaatiot nojaavat kukin eri tietomuodostelmiin ja puhetapoihin, joita yhdistykset tuottavat ja uusintavat myös liikuntatoiminnassaan. Yhdistysten suuntautumista analysoidaan artikkelissa kolmen erilaisen diskursiivisen muodostuman kautta: (i) etniskulttuurisen tradition diskurssin, (ii) kotoutumisen diskurssin ja (iii) etniskulttuurisen hybridisyyden diskurssin. Etniskulttuurisen tradition diskurssissa liikunta yhdistetään lähtömaasta periytyvien identiteettien, merkitysten ja sosiaalisten järjestysten osittaiseen säilyttämiseen uudessa elinympäristössä. Kotoutumisen diskurssissa yhdistysten liikuntatoiminnan tarkoitus on sopeuttaa maahanmuuttajia suomalaiseen yhteiskuntaan. Etniskulttuurisen hybridisyyden diskurssissa liikunta ymmärretään tilaksi, jossa kulttuurit ja identiteetit sekoittuvat tai niiden merkitys ihmisten välisiä suhteita organisoivina tekijöinä häviää. Erilaisia etnisyysorientaatioita ja niistä kertovia diskursseja lähestytään artikkelin lopuksi diasporan käsitteen avulla. Kulttuurisen tradition diskurssin ja osalle kotoutumisen diskurssin yhdistyksiä liikuntatoiminnassa on kyse symbolisesta kotiinpaluusta. Hybridisyyden diskurssin yhdistyksille liikunta on taas kyse enemmän tai vähemmän tietoista pyrkimystä elää diasporassa syntyneen paikan ja identiteetin katkoksen kanssa.

Emigrants and Immigrants
%X Sweden, Denmark and Norway, to varying degrees, have experienced an accelerating influx of immigrants and refugees during the four recent decades. While offering new opportunities, this influx is also posing new challenges for the welfare state (Brochmann &amp; Hagelund 2005: 9; Djuve &amp; Kavli 2007). Indeed, immigrants’ risk of failing to enter the labour market and integrate into society is considered an important new social risk that the Nordic welfare states have to deal with (Timonen 2004: 106). As for labour market integration, this challenge is reflected in the relatively large share of people with immigrant backgrounds among the unemployed and among other groups of working age not participating in the labour force (Statistics Norway 2012; Statistics Denmark 2012; Statistics Sweden 2012). This challenge is not as demanding when it comes to labour migrants1 as they tend to have high labour participation rates, while immigrants who come in search for protection are more vulnerable to labour market exclusion (see Øverbye 2010). © Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 2013.

%X Study objective: To analyse the association between ethnicity and poor self reported health and explore the importance of any mediators such as acculturation and discrimination. Design: A simple random sample of immigrants from Poland (n = 840), Turkey (n = 840), and Iran (n = 480) and of Swedish born persons (n = 2250) was used in a cross sectional study in 1996. The risk of poor self reported health was estimated by applying logistic models and stepwise inclusion of the explanatory variables. The response rate was about 68% for the immigrants and 80% for the Swedes. Explanatory variables were: age, ethnicity, educational status, marital status, poor economic resources, knowledge of Swedish, and discrimination. Main results: Among men from Iran and Turkey there was a threefold increased risk of poor self reported health than Swedes (reference) while the risk was five times higher for women. When socioeconomic status was included in the logistic model the risk decreased slightly. In an explanatory model, Iranian and Turkish women and men had a higher risk of poor health than Polish women and men (reference). The high risks of Turkish born men and women and Iranian born men for poor self reported health decreased to non- significance after the inclusion of SES and low knowledge of Swedish. The high risks of Iranian born women for poor self reported health decreased to non-significance after the inclusion of low SES, low knowledge of Swedish, and discrimination. Conclusions: The strong association between ethnicity and poor self reported health seems to be mediated by socioeconomic status, poor acculturation, and discrimination.

%X The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of ethnic origin and acculturation factors on psychiatric problems among immigrant adolescents. One aim was to examine variations in psychiatric problems according to gender and immigrant generation level. Another aim was to explore ethnic group differences in psychiatric problems and acculturation risk and protective factors. Finally, we examined the potential mediating effect of acculturation in the relationship between ethnic origin and psychiatric symptoms.Questionnaire data were collected from 1275 immigrant 10th graders with 11 different ethnic origins. Psychiatric problems were measured by the Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire. Acculturation risk factors involved perceived discrimination and ethnic identity crisis. Protective factors were family values, host and ethnic culture competence.First-generation girls and second-generation boys were identified as particularly vulnerable to psychiatric problems. There was significant variation in psychiatric problems and acculturation between ethnic groups. There was substantial ethnic group-level correlation between emotional and conduct problems, and between discrimination and peer problems. Otherwise, a differentiated pattern of high-scoring ethnic groups emerged across the various symptom and acculturation indices. ANOVAs yielded unique effects on each symptom category of both ethnic group and the acculturation risk and protective factors, undermining the notion of a mediating effect of acculturation.There is a complex pattern of adaptation in cultural context and idiosyncratic relationships between distinct psychiatric symptom groups and socio-cultural factors. Information about the differentiated vulnerability of gender, generation, and ethnic groups to psychiatric morbidity is important to identify groups at special risk, and to produce interventions that are tailored to their needs. Future studies should examine how cultural factors contribute both to resilience and to an increased vulnerability to psychiatric problems.

%X Aims: Research demonstrates that migrants are more vulnerable to poor mental health than general populations, but population-based studies with distinct migrant groups are scarce. We aim to (1) assess the prevalence of mental health symptoms in Russian, Somali and Kurdish origin migrants in Finland; (2) compare the prevalence of mental health symptoms in these migrant groups to the Finnish population; (3) determine which socio-demographic factors are associated with mental health symptoms. Methods: We used data from the Finnish Migrant Health and Wellbeing Study and Health 2011 Survey. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were measured using the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25), and 1.75 was used as cut-off for clinically significant symptoms. Somatization was measured using the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) somatization scale. The age-adjusted prevalence of mental health symptoms in the studied groups was calculated by gender using predicted margins. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine which socio-demographic factors are associated with mental health symptoms in the studied population groups. Results: The prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms was higher in Russian women (24%) and Kurdish men (23%) and women (49%) than in the Finnish population (9–10%). These differences were statistically significant (p <.001). Socioeconomic disadvantage (e.g. unemployment and poor economic situation) and migration-related factors (e.g. poor language proficiency and short time since migration) significantly increased the odds for depressive and anxiety symptoms. Conclusions: Mental health symptoms are highly prevalent particularly in Kurdish migrants in Finland. Holistic interventions and co-operation between integration and mental health services are acutely needed.

%X This article estimates the causal effect of residential concentration of co-ethnics (ethnic enclaves) on the probability to start a business among refugees in Sweden. Results indicate that the share of self-employed co-ethnics in the port of entry municipality increases refugees’ probability of entry into self-employment, while the actual share of local co-ethnics has no effect or, in some cases, a negative effect. The results support the conclusion that skills and resources within the local ethnic enclave, particularly skills relevant for self-employment, are crucial for generating new entry into self-employment for refugees, while simply more co-ethnics, plausibly increasing an ethnic market’s size, are of less importance. Moreover, the results suggest that being placed with a larger share of self-employed co-ethnics is negatively related to refugees’ long-term disposable income; however, assuming there is no or little selection of high-ability refugees into self-employment, this negative relationship can be counteracted by the choice of self-employment. The study adds new knowledge on the arguably crucial topic of socio-economic integration of an important group of international migrants — namely, refugees.

%X The proportion of immigrants from countries in the Middle East living in Sweden has increased since the 1970s, and it is a well-known fact that immigrants from the Middle East suffer from low earnings and high rates of unemployment on the Swedish labour market. There are often great hopes that self-employment will enable immigrants to improve their labour market situation. Further, in Sweden as in many other countries, the question of whether the existence of ethnic enclaves are good or bad for immigrants' earnings and employment opportunities has also been widely debated. This paper presents a study of the extent to which Middle Eastern ethnic enclaves and networks in Sweden enhance or hinder immigrants' self-employment. The results show that the presence of ethnic enclaves increases the propensity for self-employment. Thus, immigrants in ethnic enclaves provide their co-ethnics with goods and services that Swedish natives are not able to provide. The results also show that ethnic networks seem to be an obstacle to immigrant self-employment. One explanation is that an increase in network size implies increased competition for customers among self-employed immigrants. The question of whether ethnic enclaves are good or bad for the integration of immigrants into the labour market has been widely debated. The results of this paper provide us with information about the integration puzzle. Ethnic enclaves seem to enhance self-employment propensities among Middle Eastern immigrants in Sweden.

%X The welfare of the elderly population is both a contemporary and a future concern faced by all branches of social service provision and the caring professions. Within this wide spectrum of issues, this article focuses on elderly Vietnamese immigrants in Finland who have arrived and are resettling in the later years of their life. Immigrant integration is understood as a process of becoming part of the receiving society, through increasing participation in different arenas of activity. Participation opportunities and arenas of older persons differ from those of younger groups. For persons who resettle in their later years it has often been impossible to obtain employment or re-establish ties to the labour market. Assessing the role of caring actors situated outside the formal welfare system and legitimating their involvement in this arena would constitute a positive dimension to the available welfare services of the older immigrant group under study here. Elderly immigrants still comprise a small percentage of the total immigrant population in Finland.

%X Sammendrag Bidrar den egalitære og sjenerøse velferdsstaten i Norge til å hindre eller fremme integrering blant innvandrere og deres etterkommere? I lys av teoretiske argumenter og empirisk forskning, tar jeg i denne artikkelen opp dette temaet ved å diskutere tre måter som en egalitær velferdsstat kan påvirke sosioøkonomisk integrering i innvandrerbefolkningen. For det første, hvorvidt velferdsstaten påvirker selektiviteten i migrantstrømmer til egalitære samfunn. For det andre, hvorvidt velferdsstaten svekker tilknytningen til arbeidsmarkedet blant innvandrere med et lavt kvalifikasjonsnivå. For det tredje, hvorvidt velferdsstaten fremmer utdanningsmuligheter og økonomisk mobilitet blant innvandreres etterkommere. Jeg avslutter med å stille spørsmål om det finnes et egalitært og velferdsstatlig integreringsparadoks i Norge. Det vil si at sentrale kjennetegn ved vår egalitære velferdsstat – slik som lav økonomisk ulikhet og et omfattende sosialt sikkerhetsnett – både kan bidra til svak økonomisk integrering blant lavkvalifiserte innvandrere og samtidig sterk oppadstigende mobilitet blant deres norskfødte etterkommere.

%X The consequences of immigration for the welfare states has received increased attention by scholars and in political and media debates in Europe. However, migrants’ subjective understandings of the welfare state remains an understudied research topic. This study aims to address the topic by analysing the question in the Nordic context by looking at Estonian labour migrants’ understandings of the Finnish welfare state. Our data consists of 51 biographical interviews with Estonian migrants in Finland. Based on the interviews, we traced interviewees’ attitudes towards the Finnish welfare state. In Finland, Estonians aspire for social citizenship, which in their case refers to gaining economic welfare and embracing Finnish welfare state institutions. This aspiration for social citizenship is revealed in Estonians’ ‘identity talk’, which takes two forms: embracement and distancing. By embracement, we mean their positive sentiments towards the institutions and norms of the Finnish welfare state. The interviewees highlight their participation in the labour market, diligent payment of taxes, justified use of the welfare benefits and services offered by the Finnish state, and membership in trade unions and unemployment funds. The interviewees underline the link between work and the deservingness of welfare benefits. They describe themselves as deserving, which, they claim, should put them on par with native Finns. Moreover, by means of distancing, the interviewed Estonians distinguish themselves from ‘others’—in their opinion—‘non-deserving’ migrants who ‘do not contribute’ to the Finnish welfare state. © 2018, Springer Nature B.V.

%X History is of importance to society and for the individual, yet from different angles as is shown in the article. History matters, but whose history is told by the public archives and history museums? This article presents an analysis of the collection “Life Destinies – Estonian diaspora in Sweden”, which is preserved at the Swedish Nordic Museum. The interviews with Estonians in Sweden were conducted at the beginning of the 1980s. The Swedish self-perception of an inclusive multicultural society is dominating the interview project, and, before interviewing, Estonians were categorised as a well-integrated and well-educated group of migrants. However, the investigation of the transcribed interviews shows that Estonians tried to negotiate their own identity by telling about Estonian history as a way of anchoring their identity within an Estonian context, but the interviewers were not interested in this kind of storytelling because it was not “personal”. In this case the history of Estonia was not a part of “our” history, and, contrary to the aim of the project, it was unconsciously set apart from the latter by the interviewers. According to the guidelines of the project, Estonian refugees should be included within the museum’s collection as a part of “our” Swedish history. The interviewers defined the Estonian homes as typically Swedish ones. Negotiating their identity, Estonians tried to distance themselves from other groups of immigrants for different purposes. The Estonian self-image was marked by independence and good behaviour. A general opinion among the Balts was that migrants from the countries outside Europe received more caring support and benefits from the Swedish welfare state than the Baltic refugees. © 2020, FB and Media Group of Estonian Literary Museum.

%X We propose a method for estimating indicators of the success of local authorities at integrating immigrants in the labour-market. The proportion of time in employment of individuals is used to measure labour-market integration, and we correct for differences in characteristics of immigrants and local labour markets using a two-limit Tobit model. This method is applied to a large administrative micro dataset which contains information on all immigrants in Denmark. We compare the estimated indicators of integration to corresponding uncorrected measures, and conclude that the corrections have a significant effect on the ranking of local authorities. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2007.

%X The influx of refugees into Europe around 2015 has led to increasingly restrictive immigration policies and a rising political interest in using sport to promote such newcomers' state of health and integration into European communities. This perspective is echoed in both research and programmes that are often one-sided in focusing on refugees' sports participation in the receiving context, while their former experiences and specific interests in sport and physical activity are often neglected. Contributing with transnational and postcolonial perspectives, this article is based on a series of life history interviews with four newly arrived refugees who have taken up roles as volunteers in sports clubs in Denmark. Such trajectories are identified as bearing on their homeland experiences, while taking up volunteering also appears as an escape from their current position as 'Others'. Further, we discuss how newcomers may challenge dominant discourses on sports-specific volunteering and develop new hybrid forms of civic involvement.

%X This article contributes to research on the homeownership gap between immigrants and native-born residents in Western countries, extending earlier research using longitudinal data and studying a country with a short history of immigration. Discrete-time survival analysis and statistical decomposition are applied to compare the duration of entry to homeownership between non-Western immigrants and native-born residents moving to the Helsinki Metropolitan Area in Finland, using individual-level register-based data from 1990 to 2008. The results show considerable differences between groups in the speed of entry to homeownership. The majority of these differences can be explained by observed differences in economic and demographic characteristics. Therefore, differences in economic integration are an important explanation for the homeownership gaps. However, for some groups, considerable gaps remain, requiring additional explanations. From a methodological viewpoint, the results indicate that in cross-sectional analyses, the significance of economic resources as an explanation for the homeownership gaps may be underestimated.

%X I de senere år har det vært en betydelig økning i antall enslige, mindreårige flyktninger til Norge. Dette er asylsøkere under 18 år som kommer hit uten foreldre eller andre med foreldreansvar. Mange kommuner har tatt utfordringen med å motta, bosette og følge opp de unge flyktningene. I denne artikkelen vil vi belyse ulike tema som kommunene bør være oppmerksomme på ved bosetting av de unge flyktningene. Ved siden av egne praksiserfaringer og aktuell litteratur og forskning vil vi også legge vekt på verdier, holdninger og praksis.

%X Hvem kommer som enslige mindreårige flyktninger til Norge, og hvordan går det med dem etter bosetting? Rapporten omhandler de som har blitt bosatt i Norge som enslige mindreårige flyktninger i perioden 1996-2016. Vi analyserer hvordan det går med dem i årene etter bosetting i Norge, med fokus på demografi, barnevern, deltakelse i arbeid og utdanning, og inntekt. Les mer om hovedfunnene i rapporten her! Enslige mindreårige flyktninger er personer som kom til Norge da de var under 18 år, uten foreldre eller andre med foreldreansvar, og som har søkt asyl som enslig mindreårig og fått opphold i Norge på dette grunnlaget. Av de rundt 17 500 som har søkt asyl som enslige mindreårige i denne perioden, har litt over halvparten, over 8 000, blitt bosatt som enslige mindreårige flyktninger. Rapporten er skrevet av Anne Berit Dalgard (kapitler om populasjonsavgrensning, demografi, bosettings- og flyttemønster ), Kjersti Stabell Wiggen (kapitler om tilknytning til arbeidsmarked og utdanning og inntekt) og Tone Dyrhaug (kapittel om barnevern).

%X Denne monitoren omhandler de som har blitt bosatt i Norge som enslige mindreårige flyktninger i perioden 1996-2018. Vi gir en demografisk beskrivelse av gruppen, og ser nærmere på hvordan det går med dem i årene etter bosetting i Norge. Denne gangen har vi spesielt vektlagt å analysere de ulike bosettingskohortene med ekstra fokus på deltakelse i utdanningssystemet og arbeidsmarkedet. Monitoren følger mye av det samme oppsettet som i forrige rapport av Dalgard, Wiggen og Dyrhaug (2018), men enslige mindreårige i barnevernet er ikke med som tema denne gangen. Kapitlet som beskriver inntektssituasjonen til de som er kommet som enslige mindreårige flyktninger, er utvidet sammenlignet med forrige rapport. Rapporten er utarbeidet av Mads Ivar Kirkeberg (kapitlene 1, 2, 3 og 6) og Harald Lunde (kapitlene 4 og 5). Statistisk sentralbyrå har tidligere publisert mange ulike rapporter og artikler om enslige mindreårige flyktninger med vektlegging av forskjellige temaer. En nærmere oversikt er gitt i kapittel 1. Kunnskapsdepartementet har finansiert rapporten.

%X This article analyses the discursive construction of solidarity regarding immigration and integration in two European countries: Spain and Denmark. The study is based on interviews with representatives of 10 Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and it focuses on the affective and evaluative dimensions of language aimed at achieving alignment with civil society. The analytical approach combines Positive Discourse Analysis and Appraisal Theory, since these perspectives deal from a discourse analytic point of view with social change promoted by community and interpersonal relations. The discourses on solidarity are framed with reference to their respective national policies and debates. Therefore, different approaches exist between the two countries, albeit that all the NGOs aim to show new dimensions of integration in order to promote empathy towards immigrants. The goal of the NGOs is to contribute positively to social change and combating the current unfair situation. In the article it is argued that solidarity is built on affect and evaluative language at the national level, challenging in this way dominant policies on immigration. Furthermore, the findings show that a European discourse which would be able to solve contradictions related to the scope of human rights, politics of asylum and inclusion of irregular immigrants is still missing.

%X In 1975, Sweden extended voting rights in local elections to immigrants without Swedish citizenship (resident aliens). In this essay, motives behind the reform are analysed and it is argued that these were based on a wish to speed up the integration of immigrants rather than on normative ideas about the nature of democracy. In fact, the reform was seen as a part of the emerging Swedish integration policy of the 1970s. The discursive construction of ‘the immigrant’ was another important factor. Most immigrants at the time came from other Nordic countries, and politicians saw them as culturally similar to Swedes. However, this would change after the reform was enacted as Nordic labour immigration was superseded by non-European refugee immigration and the new asylum seekers were seen as more or less ‘different’ to Swedes. Domestic political arguments such as these, rather than philosophical arguments, shaped the outcome of the Swedish decisions regarding voting rights for resident aliens.

%X Successful integration must include the long-term enactment of ‘the will to feel Danish’. As Jews in Denmark have done in the course of many generations, so immigrant Muslims must immerse themselves to the extent that feeling Danish is naturalized. Such is the perspective proposed in a recent focus group discussion in Denmark on the integration of Muslims into Danish society. This idea of incompatibility between native Danes and Muslim ‘newcomers’ has become a salient feature of what is termed ‘value-based journalism’ and ‘value-based politics’ in the last decade. This article traces the origin of the ‘end of tolerance’ strategy, which follows from this development and examines the emergence of neo-racism in Denmark with its ideas of xenophobia as a natural reaction to other ‘cultures’ which do not belong ’naturally’. It shows that migrants of non-European origin are talked about in an increasingly crass and uncompromising way as a consequence of the belief in incompatibility.

%X In 2016 women-only swimming sessions targeting Muslims made the headlines in the Danish media, precipitating great discussion about whether such sessions contributed to or impeded social integration. This article focuses on the debate in the city council of Aarhus concerning women-only swimming activities that had existed for 10 years and had been well attended. Yet, after a year of discussion, the city council voted for a municipality-wide ban on women-only swimming during public opening hours. The popularity and longevity of the sessions pose the question: Why and how has women-only swimming become a ‘problem’, in other words a leisure time physical activity that challenges current discourses on immigration and integration? The debate on women-only swimming is an interesting case to study as it testifies not only to an increasing focus on the civic integration of ethnic minorities, including their leisure practices, but also to strong resistance by the general public and the women affected. Drawing on a postcolonial feminist perspective, our analysis shows how perceptions of Danishness, gender equality and non-religious leisure become central arguments in the debate, pointing to various ways in which understandings of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion and nation intersect in the current restrictive politics of belonging.

%X Recent changes in the social policy regimes of western European countries have raised questions about the normative legitimacy of policy measures. Welfare states may face difficult dilemmas when efficient social policy measures clash with principles of the liberal state, like equal treatment and individual autonomy. Is output legitimacy achieved at the expense of the input legitimacy dimensions of individual autonomy and human dignity? In this paper, a standard for evaluating the normative legitimacy of social policy interventions is proposed, and subsequently applied on the concrete example of the Norwegian introductory programs for immigrants. The paper concludes that activation measures in some of its implementations may actually represent fewer threats to input legitimacy than does the alternative regime of unconditional social assistance. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Les changements récents des régimes sociaux dans les pays d'Europe occidentale soulèvent des questions sur la légitimité normative des mesures politiques. Les Etats providence peuvent faire face à des dilemmes difficiles à résoudre quand les mesures efficaces en matière de politique sociale entrent en confrontation avec les principes de l'Etat libéral, par exemple sur les questions de l'égalité de traitement ou l'autonomie individuelle. Atteint-on la légitimité par les outputs aux dépens des dimensions de la légitimité par les inputs que sont les questions d'autonomie individuelle et de dignité humaine? Dans cet article, nous proposons un critère d'évaluation de la légitimité normative des interventions de matière de politique sociale, que nous appliquons concrètement à l'exemple des programs d'accueil des immigrants en Norvège. Nos conclusions sont que les mesures d'activation de certains domaines d'application représentent une menace plus faible pour la légitimité par les inputs qu'un régime alternatif d'assistance sociale sans conditions.

%X This article presents an exploration of the employment status of various groups of immigrant women in the Swedish labor market in the period 1970-1995. Since employment is one of the key components for the integration of immigrants, it is interesting to study what factors determine whether or not immigrants become employed after entering Sweden. Numerous studies have analyzed the labor market integration of immigrant men, whereas the integration of women still has received less attention (Ekberg, 1983, 1991; Hammarstedt, 2001; Scott, 1999). This study can be seen as a contribution to an increase in the knowledge of the labor market integration of female immigrants in Sweden. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

%X A number of studies have been done on the migration of male athletes in well-known sport disciplines such as football. However, we lack knowledge about migration in smaller sport disciplines and about female athletes as sport migrants. The present article examines first of all the growing number of foreign players in the Danish women's handball league from 1999 to 2007. Second, the athletes' motives for moving to Danish handball clubs are categorized, and third, the migrants' experiences in Danish handball clubs are related to the strategies of integration in two prominent handball clubs. The analysis reveals, among others, family- and space-related aspects which have not been covered in the literature on sports migration. Moreover, integration theory forms a useful supplement to migration theory in explaining the ways in which the club experiences of the migrants affect their motives.

%X This article addresses the experiences of refugees from Bosnia-Herzegovina who settled in Sweden in the early 1990s, at a time when asylum and welfare became highly politicised issues. Two main areas of critical concern emerged in policy-making and public debate in this period, one relating to the control of external borders, the other relating to the incorporation of new residents. The article outlines the representations of 'refugees' that became salient in a context of processes of social change-global and domestic. It explores public understandings and institutional responses relating to refugees' integration and welfare, and analyses these in relation to refugees' own life strategies.

%M rayyan-298338048
%X Raskt i jobb et prosjekt initiert av NAV Vestland og Introduksjonssenteret for flyktninger i Bergen, som en del av satsningen «Hurtigsporet» som ble etablert i 2016. Prosjektet Raskt i jobb har til hensikt å hjelpe flyktninger i introduksjonsprogrammet ut i ordinært arbeidsliv ved bruk av det arbeidsrettede tiltaket Individuell jobbstøtte (IPS). IPS ble opprinnelig utviklet for mennesker med alvorlige psykiske lidelser, og har vist effekt i en rekke studier både internasjonalt og i Norge. Nøkkelpersonen i tiltaket er jobbspesialisten, som tilbyr deltakeren støtte rettet direkte ut mot det ordinære arbeidslivet. Metoden baserer seg på åtte evidensbaserte prinsipper, og innebærer kvalitetsmålinger for å måle implementeringen av disse. De siste årene har det vært økt interesse for spørsmålet om IPS kan være overførbart til nye målgrupper, og en håndfull studier har vist lovende resultater for ikke-psykiatriske pasientgrupper. Det har imidlertid ikke vært undersøkt hvorvidt IPS kan implementeres og ha effekt for flyktninger. Evalueringen er finansiert med FoU-midler fra Arbeids- og velferdsdirektoratet, og hadde som overordnet mål å undersøke om tiltaket Raskt i jobb har effekt på arbeidsdeltakelse blant flyktninger, sammenliknet med vanlig oppfølging i introduksjonsprogrammet. Videre var prosjektets delmål å undersøke effekten på sekundærutfall knyttet til helse, velvære og akkulturasjon, og å undersøke kvaliteten og gjennomførbarheten av tiltaket. Evalueringen bestod av to hoveddeler: 1) En effektevaluering i form av en randomisert kontrollert studie, med bruk av registerdata og spørreskjema, samt (2) en prosessevaluering med bruk av kvalitetsmålinger i implementeringen av IPS metoden, spørreskjema, og intervjuer med deltakere og tilbydere.

%X <bold>Background: </bold>Schools are natural environments in which to enhance young people's social and emotional skills, mental health, and contact between diverse groups, including students from refugee and immigrant backgrounds. A layered or tiered provision of services is recommended as it can be effective to meet the needs of war-affected adolescents who variably show mental health problems (such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)). The current protocol describes the study design for a multi-layered intervention model. The study will test the effectiveness of two interventions: a teacher-training intervention In-Service Teacher Training (INSETT) combined with targeted cognitive-behavioral treatment-based Teaching Recovery Techniques (TRT) and a classroom-focused preventive intervention Peer Integration and Enhancement Resources (PIER). We analyze, first, whether the interventions are effective in decreasing psychological distress and increasing positive resources, i.e., prosocial behavior and resilience among refugee and immigrant students. Second, we analyze which student-, school-, and parent-related factors mediate the possible beneficial changes. Third, we look at which groups the interventions are most beneficial to.<bold>Methods: </bold>A three-arm cluster RCT with parallel assignment, with a 1:1:1 allocation ratio, is applied in 16 schools that agreed to participate in the Refugees Well School interventions and effectiveness study. Schools were randomized to three conditions of two active interventions and a waiting list control condition. Students, their parents, and teachers in intervention and control schools participated in the study at baseline before the interventions, after the interventions, and at 6 to 12 months after the interventions. The primary effectiveness criterion variables are psychological distress (SDQ) symptoms, resilience (CYRM-12), and prosocial behavior (SDQ).<bold>Discussion: </bold>The current study presents a recommended universal approach of layered interventions aiming to reduce psychological distress and increase resilience among refugee and immigrant students. A combination of promotive, preventive, and targeted interventions may offer a holistic, ecological intervention package for schools to better address the needs of the whole group.<bold>Trial Registration: </bold>ISRCTN ISRCTN64245549 .

%X The aim of the study was to examine the mediating and moderating roles of social support in the acculturation-mental health link, and to investigate how these processes combine with self-esteem to affect mental health change. Questionnaire data were collected twice from 137 immigrant students, first at the upstart in junior high school, and then again a year later (8th and 9th grade). Acculturation was described in positive terms as a developmental process towards gaining competence within more than one sociocultural setting. Perceived discrimination and ethnic identity crisis were included as risk factors in this process. A model of structural relations was tested, which after some modifications demonstrated a close fit to the data. The results supported our suggestions of two indirect paths of effects of acculturation on mental health change: one through culture domain-specific social support and another through self-esteem. Self-esteem was also identified as a mediator of identity crisis. Significant interaction effects between social support and culture competencies were demonstrated in addition to buffer effects of class and family support in relation to identity crisis and discrimination respectively. The study adds to our understanding of positive and negative developmental pathways in multicultural societies.

%X The relative earnings growth for immigrants in Norway is computed. Unlike Hayfron (1998, this journal) we define immigrants by country of origin rather than citizenship and perform separate studies of immigrants from inside and outside the OECD region. Replicating Hayfron op.cit, we find that the earnings assimilation is considerably weaker. Further, we find that the earnings of OECD immigrants are comparable to those of natives, while Non-OECD immigrants earn considerably less than natives at the time of entry, but that their relative earnings improve gradually over time. Earnings of different immigrant cohorts converged from 1980 to 1990, indicating a non-linear rate of assimilation.

%X <bold>Objective: </bold>To examine whether the association between women's origin and early pregnancy overweight and obesity (OW/OB) varies by length of residence in Sweden.<bold>Design: </bold>This cross-sectional observational study used pooled Swedish population register data from 1992 to 2012. Logistic regression models were run to estimate odds ratios (OR) of early pregnancy OW/OB and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI), comparing Swedish-born and immigrants by length-of-residence categories while adjusting for covariates.<bold>Setting: </bold>Sweden.<bold>Participants: </bold>In total, 1 771 821 pregnant women, 315 992 of whom were immigrants.<bold>Results: </bold>With longer residence in Sweden, more immigrant women from various origins exhibited higher odds of experiencing early OW/OB compared with Swedish-born women. Findings specifically showed increased odds of early pregnancy OW/OB with increasing length of residence for women born in Latin America, Europe-27 and Southeast Asia. For example, immigrant women from Latin America residing in Sweden for < 6 years showed similar odds as Swedish-born (OR≤ 5 years 0·92, 95 % CI 0·87, 0·98), while their longer residing counterparts showed higher odds than Swedish-born women (OR6-15 years1·21, 95 % CI 1·14, 1·28 and OR≥ 16 years 1·68, 95 % CI 1·59, 1·78). Mixed results were found for other origins.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>The current study suggests that host country conditions might play an important role in explaining OW/OB among some groups of immigrant women. Although further studies are needed to disentangle the mechanisms that generate these health inequalities, policy efforts should focus on immigrant reception and early integration to prevent pregnancy-related OW/OB.

%X ‘Diversity’ has become a key term in recent years, yet it has been criticized for being a vague concept with different and contradictory meanings. This article demonstrates that there are at least three inherent meanings of the term: (1) discerned difference attributed with positive or negative value; (2) diverting diversity providing pleasure and amusement; and (3) distracting diversity directing attention from something of greater importance. I argue that the concept of diversity can be a fruitful focus in ethnographic research, if its inherent multiplex and duplicitous character is recognized and actively employed. This is shown through an analysis of the ways in which immigrants from the English-speaking Caribbean to Denmark have been perceived and received as foreigners since the 1960s as representing different kinds of diversity. © 2014, © 2014 Taylor & Francis.

%X Aims To assess the association between drinking behaviour among adolescents with both immigrant and native backgrounds with aspects of acculturation. Design Cross-sectional school survey among 15–16 year olds. Setting and participants All students, a total of 8361, in 10th grade during spring 2000 and 2001 in Oslo, Norway with response rate 88.3%. The sample consisted of 1213 students with an immigrant background and 4627 students with a Norwegian background. Measurements Indicators of the length of the acculturation process were assessed as first versus second generation and in terms of length of stay in Norway. The proportion of Muslim students in school was an indicator of social environment ‘dryness’. Drinking behaviour was assessed as drinking alcohol ever, drinking frequency and intoxication frequency. Findings A smaller proportion of immigrant students were current drinkers, frequent drinkers and drank to intoxication compared with adolescents with a Norwegian background. Adjusted two-level analyses showed that alcohol drinking was less common among immigrant students with a short stay in Norway and with a large proportion of Muslim students in school. In those with a Norwegian background there was a larger proportion of abstainers, and those who drank did so less frequently and were less frequently intoxicated the larger the proportion of Muslim students there was in their school. Conclusion Drinking behaviour among adolescents in a multicultural and heterogeneous society seems to reflect a bi-directional acculturation process where the majority population tend to adapt to the behaviours of the immigrant population which in turn, to a varying degree, tends to adapt to the behaviour of the majority population.

%X This article examines negotiations over social inclusion and exclusion that take place during everyday settlement processes among refugee families located in rural areas in Denmark. Using the case study of a Congolese household, the article shows how local codes of sociability are often concretized and materialized in domestic space in ways that turn the home sphere, with its daily routines and material culture, into a domain of vital importance for the social incorporation of refugee newcomers. This domestic domain is of particular significance in a country where, on the one hand, the integration programs of the welfare state are highly regulatory and tend to intervene deeply in refugees' private spheres and, on the other, cultural homogeneity is emphasized and regarded as closely related to equality.

%X A 2 x 2 x 2 experiment examined effects of the acculturation orientations seen to be endorsed by immigrants (of two different religions) on intergroup relations in Sweden. Swedish majority participants (N = 448) read interviews with Iraqi immigrants in which the immigrants' religion (Muslim vs. Christian), desired level of contact with the host society (high vs. low), and desire to maintain their own culture (high vs. low) were manipulated. Overall, immigrants who were perceived to favour contact elicited more favourable intergroup attitudes. Desire for contact also interacted with immigrants' religion: contact among Muslim minorities increased majority members' support for multiculturalism. In addition, majority members identified more with being Swedish when Christian minorities appeared to endorse contact and reject their heritage culture, which corresponds to an acculturation strategy of assimilation. These findings demonstrate the complex role of religious similarity in intergroup relations. Implications for future research are proposed.

%X A growing literature has shown that greater diversity among immigrants offers material benefits in terms of higher wages and productivity. One limitation of existing work is that it has considered immigrants from a given country to be homogenous. However, immigrants differ in various ways, not least in their level of assimilation. This article considers how assimilation might shape diversity's economic effects. Intuition suggests two conflicting dynamics. Assimilation could lower barriers immigrants and natives face in interacting with one another, and thus enhance benefits. Equally, however, assimilation could reduce heuristic differences between immigrants and native-born workers, dampening spillovers from diversity. We use linked employer–employee data from Norway to test these ideas. We construct diversity indices at the regional and workplace scale to capture different aspects of assimilation, and observe how these are related to worker productivity, proxied using wages. We find that assimilation dampens externalities from immigrant diversity. Diversity among second-generation or childhood migrants offers smaller benefits than diversity in teenage or adult arrivals. Immigrants' cultural proximity to Norway, and their experience of tertiary education in Norway, each also reduce the social return to diversity. While assimilation processes may benefit society in various ways, these findings are consistent with the idea that, by diminishing the heuristic gaps between migrants and native-born workers, integration reduces the productivity externalities derived from immigrant diversity.

%X This article investigates the long-term effects on immigrant earnings and employment of labour market conditions encountered upon arrival. We find that early earnings assimilation depends crucially on a favourable national labour market. Exposure to high local unemployment rates also affects individuals for at least ten years. To handle the issue of selective migration, we compare refugees entering Sweden during a severe and unexpected recession to refugees arriving during a preceding economic boom. The analysis of effects at the local level exploits a governmental refugee settlement policy to get exogenous variation in local labour market conditions. © 2007 The Author(s).

%X Ethnic residential segregation is often explained with the claim that ‘immigrants don’t want to integrate—they prefer to stick together with co-ethnics’. By contrast, mixed neighbourhoods are seen as crucial for achieving social cohesion. In line with spatial assimilation theory there is a normative assumption that people interact with those living nearby. From interviews on neighbourhood qualities and locations valued by Oslo residents of Turkish, Somali and Polish backgrounds, we raise questions about the validity of two assumptions: that most immigrants want to live in the same neighbourhoods as co-ethnics; and that they want to live close to co-ethnics because they do not want to integrate. For reasons of socialisation, main preferences were for mixed neighbourhoods that included ethnic Norwegians. Whereas the preference for people of other immigrant backgrounds was linked to possibilities for socialisation, the preference for ethnic Norwegians in the neighbourhood was linked to possibilities for social integration. Co-ethnic networks could be maintained on the city level. Importantly, housing moves tended to be guided by other factors than population composition in the area.

%X The importance of investing in host country-specific human capital such as host country language proficiency and host country education is often cited as a determining factor for the labor market success of immigrants. This suggests that entirely host country educations should even out the playing field providing equal labor market opportunities for natives and immigrants with similar (host country) educations. This study follows a cohort of students from Swedish compulsory school graduation in 1988 until 2002 in order to document differences in education, including grades and field of education, and subsequent labor market outcomes between immigrants and natives. Results indicate both initial differences in youth labor market status and long term differences in employment rates, most notably for those with Non-European backgrounds. Differences in level or field of host country education cannot explain persistent employment gaps. However, employment gaps are driven by differences among those with secondary school educations only. No employment or income gaps are found for the university educated.

%X Using a correspondence field experiment, the study reported in this article has investigated if immigrant job applicants with equivalent qualifications are treated differently in the Finnish labour market. The study consists of 5000 job applications that were sent out to 1000 advertised positions by five applicants of Finnish, English, Iraqi, Russian and Somali backgrounds, who differed only in their names. The findings show that applicants of immigrant origin receive significantly fewer invitations for a job interview than the native candidate, even if they possess identical language proficiency, education and vocational diplomas. However, the extent of discrimination is not equally distributed among the immigrant groups. Rather, job applicants from non-European backgrounds seem to suffer a significantly greater labour-market penalty. The findings clearly suggest that, despite anti-discrimination legislation and measures aimed at promoting equal employment opportunities, discrimination continues to remain a serious barrier to immigrants’ labour-market integration in a Nordic welfare society. © The Author(s) 2020.

%X Background Qualitative studies suggest that immigrant women experience barriers for postpartum depression (PPD) screening. This study examines the prevalence of participation in PPD screening in the universal home-visiting programme in Denmark, in relation to migrant status and its association with acculturation factors, such as length of residence and age at migration. Methods The sample consists of 77 694 births from 72 292 mothers (2015–18) that participated in the programme and were registered in the National Child Health Database. Lack of PPD screening using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) was examined in relation to migrant group and acculturation factors. We used Poisson regression with cluster robust standard errors to estimate crude and adjusted relative risk. Results In total, 27.8% of Danish-born women and 54.7% of immigrant women lacked screening. Compared with Danish-born women, immigrant women in all groups were more likely to lack PPD screening (aRR ranging from 1.81 to 1.90). Women with low acculturation were more likely to lack screening. Women who migrated as adults [aRR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.16, 1.38)] and women who had resided in Demark for <5 years [aRR = 1.37 (95% CI 1.28, 1.46)] were more likely to lack screening. Conclusions Immigrant women in Denmark, particularly recent immigrants, are at increased risk of not being screened for PPD using the EPDS. This can lead to under-recognition of PPD among immigrant women. More work is needed to understand how health visitors recognize the mental health needs of immigrant women who are not screened, and whether this gap results in reduced use of mental health services.

Discrimination (Psychology)
%X Labour market integration, and the free movement of people, has been a key feature of the European Economic Area (EEA). In fact, the EEA states that the free movement of people is “perhaps the most important right for individuals, as it gives citizens of the 31 EEA countries the opportunity to live, work, establish business and study in any of these countries.” However, unless citizens within the EEA are granted equal possibilities, the free movement will be of less value. This paper sets out to study the role of the rental housing market, in particular from the perspective of equal possibilities between majority (domestic) and minority (foreign) groups in Iceland. With the largest minority group of the Icelandic workforce being Polish, it is important from an integration perspective to study potential differences between native and Polish workers in possibilities to enter the rental housing market. By conducting an Internet field experiment, we show that Polish men in fact face a more difficult situation on the rental housing market than others, which serves as an impediment to the free flow of labour for this group of immigrants.

%X Norway has a history of tough assimilation of the first migration of Roma people, known as the Tater/Romani people. The state introduced laws that discriminated against the Tater/Romani people. This article traces the international and national developments from discriminatory laws to laws against discrimination in Norway. With the recent appearance of immigrant Roma from Eastern Europe, Roma are once again on the political agenda of West European countries. Despite the many laws against discrimination that are now in place, this article demonstrates that the public still discriminates against Roma people. Two survey experiments reveal that the Roma are being directly discriminated against within the Norwegian society and indirectly discriminated against compared to other European Economic Area (EEA) immigrants. The article suggests that this could be related to a history of antiziganism in society. Furthermore, it appears that such attitudes are not easily changed by laws but demands broad social mobilisation.

%X As immigrant groups grow older, host societies are faced with new challenges of integration. In a labor market that is structured by ethnicity and gender, the demand for culturally competent care provides immigrant women with the opportunity to become entrepreneurs within the care sector. This article analyzes 20 in-depth interviews with immigrant women from 13 countries who are entrepreneurs in home-help services for elderly people. The article analyzes the complex motives behind the women's entrepreneurship. Ethnic entrepreneurship has mainly been approached as a way for immigrants to survive in the labor market-the disadvantage theory-or as a means to create job opportunities for co-ethnics within ethnic economies. Opposed to this, three main motives appear in the analysis: first, the processes of ethnic and gender sorting in the care sector; second, ethnic strategies in the labor market; and third, the wish to gain independence and improve the quality of care. Only in a few cases is ethnic entrepreneurship practiced within ethnic economies; instead, it is mainly found within cross-cultural economies, consisting of employees and customers of mixed origin who are embedded in a majority society. The women construct their ethnic identities to compete in the segmented Swedish labor market by creating ethnic identities of care that are adjusted to meet the needs of their customers in a cross-cultural society.

%X Not being in employment, education or training (NEET) as a youth consistently predicts adverse educational, labour market and health outcomes. School-aged refugee children are known to be particularly vulnerable within each of these domains. Yet little is known about how these outcomes have evolved over time. This study explores trends in the risk of youth NEET status during the early twenties for refugees and their non-refugee peers in Denmark from 1995 to 2014 by utilising national registry data on demographics, income, education and diagnoses covering the full population. The analysis shows that the inequality in the probability of youth NEET status has diminished considerably from up to 20 percentage points among the oldest cohorts to less than 5 percentage points among the youngest. This development was robust to compositional differences, although much more so for girls than boys. For refugee girls, the change in the probability of youth NEET status coincided with changes in timing of family formation, but was not explained by it. In addition, the correlation between family formation and youth NEET status became considerably weaker over time. The findings suggest that some circumstances surrounding the incorporation of refugee school children into their new social contexts have improved.

%X This study examines the association between digital information technology (DIT) use and the utilization of transnational healthcare (THC) in older migrants, and investigates how this relationship depends on social integration or perceived discrimination in health services in the destination country. The data from a population-based study conducted in Finland in 2019, which targeted Russian-speaking residents aged 50 and above (n = 1082) nationwide, are analyzed. The analysis demonstrates that those who had a high level of DIT use were significantly more likely to use THC than those who had a low level of use. However, the findings do not show that the relationship depends on social integration or perceived discrimination. Older migrants can actively use transnational networks to address their health and well-being issues by using DIT and seeking healthcare abroad. Their health service use can be illustrated as an active process involving various geographical domains.

%X This study compares the longitudinal dynamics of labor market integration between asylum refugees, resettled refugees and their reunited family members. The labor market integration of the three refugee groups are compared by using unique longitudinal register data of total refugee population in Finland during 2003–2015. The results show that among males, family reunion migrants integrate faster than asylum refugees and resettled refugees. Contrary to the previous results from Nordic countries, among females, resettled refugees integrate the fastest and family reunion migrants demonstrate the slowest integration. The overall small differences between admission categories are for the large part explained by discrepancies in observed factors such as fertility patterns among females and arrival during recession among males. © 2020, The Author(s).

%X BACKGROUND Differences in all-cause mortality between immigrants and host populations may provide insight into health inequities that could be reduced. OBJECTIVE Death risks of adult immigrants were compared to those of the host population to assess effects of country of origin, duration of residence, calendar period, and sociodemographic characteristics, i.e., sex, education, and marital and parental status. METHODS Registry data encompassing the entire Norwegian population age 25-79 in 1990-2012 were used to compare death risks in various immigrant groups and the host population, using discrete-time hazard regression models with time-varying covariates. RESULTS Over 451,000 deaths occurred in around 4.4 million individuals. After adjusting for sex, age, and calendar period, immigrants had an 8% survival advantage (odds ratio (OR) 0.92). Death-risk estimates for immigrants were lowered pronouncedly by further adjustment of sociodemographic factors (OR 0.81). The greatest survival advantage was observed among immigrants with a short duration of residence. With increasing lengths of stay, immigrants' risk of death became similar to that of the host population. The survival advantage was most pronounced for younger, unmarried, and childless immigrants. Although the survival of Central and Eastern European immigrants improved over time, none of the groups had a higher adjusted death risk than the host population. CONCLUSIONS Immigrants have a 20% survival advantage compared to the host population. The convergence in mortality with increasing duration of residence suggests that 'healthy migrant' and 'acculturation' effects counteract each other, and warrants further research on the health and welfare of long-term immigrants.

%X The recent arrival of refugees in rural Sweden has raised hopes that they might stave off the depopulation of the country’s periphery and lead to its development. Despite these visions in policy and in some academic literature, there is little research on how immigrant encounters with development and integration practices take shape on the ground. Critical research on immigrant integration in Sweden focuses on urban areas where most immigrants live. Rural areas, with sparse populations, weak economic positions vis a vis cities and increased policy pressures to define themselves as uniquely competitive, stand at a crossroads as they grapple with developing their areas and integrating newcomers. A less visible, but no less decisive crossroads is the vision of multiculturalism grounded in current institutions for democracy, in contrast to the road that I suggest we need to take – one that turns a critical eye on the relations that constitute the culture and institutions for integration and rural development. Drawing on long term ethnographic fieldwork in the province of Hälsingland and on Bourdieu’s conceptualization of misrecognition as well as critical race theories, I probe the ‘misrecognition’ of the rural and of institutions for integration and democracy in Sweden. I argue that the misrecognition of voluntary associations as the template for democracy for all and dominant discourses on what constitutes rural culture, inadvertently embody racial undertones that need to be confronted – both in theorizing and in practice – if aspirations for a multicultural democracy are to be taken as seriously as they must.

%X The extent of homeownership among immigrants may be seen as an indicator of integration and as a determinant of ethnic residential segregation. Studies have shown differences in the determinants of homeownership between immigrants and natives, indicating that variation in homeownership is not only a function of differences in economic resources. These studies have largely focused on Anglo-American contexts, using mostly cross-sectional data. We apply survival analysis methods to analyse the determinants of entry to homeownership in the capital regions of three Nordic countries - Denmark, Finland and Sweden - utilizing longitudinal individual-level register-based datasets. We find that differences in entry to homeownership between natives and different immigrant groups cannot be explained by differences in socio-economic background factors. We also find differences in the effects of these factors. Effects of income are generally weaker among non-Western immigrants and immigrants are less responsive to changes in household composition. The share of non-Western immigrants in the neighbourhood is only weakly related to entry to homeownership, while immigrants and natives living in public rental housing tend to be slightly less inclined to move to homeownership. Weaker income effects among immigrants, weak effects of ethnic segregation and the importance of the public rental sector differentiate our results from earlier findings. Weaker income effects may indicate that uncertainty about the future also affects middle-income immigrants. Differences between the three contexts in housing markets and policies do not seem to matter much, although the results indicate that difficult access to the private rental sector may push immigrants to homeownership. © 2016 Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography.

%X In this chapter, we analyse the determinants of integration of foreign-born persons and second-generation immigrants (i.e. individuals with foreign-born parent/s) in four Nordic countries: Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. We investigate both objective (probability of having a paid work, achieved income) and more subjective measures of economic integration: self-perceived threat of unemployment in the upcoming 12 months and the declared comfort with the present income. Our results indicate that there is a penalty of being a first-generation immigrant in the Nordic countries: such individuals usually get employment, but their achieved income is substantially lower than that of natives, especially in Norway and Finland. We also find that second-generation immigrants are on average well integrated in economic aspect, with the exception of Sweden and Iceland. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019.

%X Artikkelen beskriver oppvekst og livssituasjonen til enslige mindreårige flyktninger i Norge. I min studie fra 2005 om flyktningbarn og resiliens, beskriver fem tenåringer sine opplevelser som flyktningbarn, og hvordan oppveksten og livet i asylmottak påvirker deres psykiske helse og veivalg. Deres opplevelser sammenliknes med situasjonen for enslige flyktningbarn i dag, og artikkelen peker på betydningen av et vennlig oppvekstmiljø for barnas psykiske helse, deres navigering videre i livet og for samfunnet for øvrig. The article describes living conditions of separated and unaccompanied minor refugees in Norway. In my study from 2005 about refugee children and resilience, five teenagers described their experiences as refugee children, and how life in refugee centers affects their mental health. Their experiences are compared to the situations of unaccompanied refugee children today, and point to the significance of a friendly environment for development of mental health and the process of resilience.

%X Denne rapporten er skrevet på oppdrag fra Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet (IMDi), og kartlegger flyktningers erfaringer med å bo i bofellesskap som førstegangs botilbud etter bosetting med offentlig hjelp. Vår undersøkelse viser at det ofte er store utfordringer med denne boformen og at mange etter hvert ønsker å flytte for seg selv. Utfordringene er blant annet knyttet til overgangen mellom mottak og kommune, behovet for privatliv, konflikter mellom beboerne i forhold til praktiske forhold og manglende oppfølging i bofellesskapet. Mulige tiltak for å få bofellesskap til å fungere kan blant annet være å se bofellesskap som en midlertidig løsning, sikre god informasjon, utarbeide husregler og gjennomføre månedlig oppfølging i bofellesskapene.

%X Denne rapporten er et resultat av prosjektet «Arbeidsplasser i helse- og omsorgssektoren: kjønn, klasse, etnisitet». Prosjektet, som ble gjennomført fra 2003 til 2005, var finansiert gjennom Norges forskningsråds program for arbeidslivsforskning. Bakgrunnen for prosjektet er den økende andelen ansatte med innvandrerbakgrunn i denne sektoren. Sektoren har allerede en høyere andel ansatte med innvandrerbakgrunn enn for eksempel servicesektoren har. Forskerne har gjennomført feltarbeid ved to arbeidsplasser, et bo- og omsorgssenter og et sykehus, begge i Oslo-området. Hensikten med prosjektet har vært å utforske hvordan ansatte med innvandrerbakgrunn, i vid forstand, inkluderes i det eksisterende arbeidsmiljøet, og hvordan arbeidsorganisering, arbeidsrelasjoner og hierarkidannelser påvirkes av at ansatte med innvandrerbakgrunn er rekruttert inn i helse- og omsorgssektoren. Prosjektet fokuserer altså ikke på ansatte med innvandrerbakgrunn, men på to arbeidsplasser der innvandrere er blant de ansatte. Spørsmålene som reises i rapporten er viktige, ikke bare for de ansatte selv, men også i et større perspektiv. De kan bidra til å belyse hva som hindrer innvandrere i å få innpass på arbeidsmarkedet, og hva som kan gjøres for å inkludere også disse arbeidstakerne.

%X We present our design of a digital service supporting social inclusion among immigrant women in an ethnically and socially diverse neighbourhood of a small Finnish town. The aim is to explore experiences and perceptions as well as potential barriers and challenges for using the web-based service. The case study is framed as design research having a strong user-centred design approach. We describe the design process and present the results of a mixed-method evaluation. The results are scrutinized from the perspectives of experience design. The analysis reveals a potential to facilitate social inclusion through the fulfilment of needs related to relatedness, autonomy, competence, pleasure and stimulations as well as popularity. However, some challenges in the interface design and communication of the security and purpose of the site were identified in the study. Significant differences were also found between immigrant women and local people regarding the need for this digital service.

%X Objectives. This study is designed to provide an empirical conceptualization of daily hassles among unaccompanied refugees, and whether they might affect mental health of young refugees after resettlement. First, we examined the underlying structure of daily hassles conceptualized as measuring general and acculturation-specific hassles. Second, we examined whether these two distinct categories of daily hassles significantly contribute to depression above and beyond the impact of premigration trauma. Design. The study was based on self-report questionnaire data collected from 895 unaccompanied refugees who had been granted residence in Norway. Results. Using structural equation modeling, the results confirmed the grouping of hassles in two general categories, which explained 43% of the variance in depression. Conclusion. The findings underscore the importance of current life conditions for unaccompanied refugees' mental health.

%X What explains the restrictive turn towards immigrants in European countries like Denmark? Are countries returning to nationalism, or are they following a general European trend towards a perfectionist, even ‘repressive’ liberalism that seeks to create ‘liberal people’ out of immigrants? Recent developments in Danish policies of integration and citizenship, education and anti-discrimination suggest a combination of these two diagnoses. The current Danish ‘integration philosophy’ leaves behind a previous concern with private choice and equal rights and opportunities to emphasize other historical elements, especially the duty to participate in upholding democracy and the egalitarian welfare community, and to promote autonomous and secular ways of life. However, the virtues of this ‘egalitarian republicanism’ are seen by right-of-centre intellectuals and politicians as rooted in a wider Christian national culture that immigrants must acquire in order to become full citizens.

%X Anti-immigrant political rhetoric is proliferating in Europe, inspiring research to examine the potential effects on public opinion. However, studies of the reactions of first- and second-generation immigrants—the objects of this rhetoric—remain scarce. This article argues that political rhetoric should be treated as a context of integration affecting political outcomes, in particular political belonging. To that end, the article combines qualitative evidence from focus group discussions conducted in Denmark, a high-salience context, and quantitative evidence from cross-national survey and party manifesto data from 18 Western European countries over a 12-year period. In addition to demonstrating a negative mean effect, the analyses show that those most in focus of contemporary political messages (Muslims and immigrants with shorter educations) are most affected, suggesting a sophisticated processing of political rhetoric. In contrast, traditional explanations concerning structural incorporation, generational integration, and exposure to rhetoric are not supported. The article discusses the implications of the results for democratic inclusion in contemporary Europe.

%X Since the Treaty of Westphalia, sovereign states have combined national security with border security, as border is accepted as the line of sovereignty that separates "us" from "others". The step of forming a European identity as a supra-identity apart from the national identities of the European countries within the borders of each state takes its roots from this perception of being "us". Though highlighted in Copenhagen Criteria that the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities are ensured; when we look at today's immigration policies we see a serious deviation from this founding approach emphasizing and ensuring multiculturalism. With labour migration in the 1960s, refugees fleeing Yugoslavia in the 1990s, and the 2015 refugee crisis, Europe's population structure began to change. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the security approach has taken the place of economic considerations in migration management. The 2015 refugee crisis has become not only a border security crisis but also a crisis of European identity and welfare state protection. This paper aims to investigate the effects of religion, nationalism, and economic concerns on the transformation of immigration policies after 2015 in Denmark, which employs extreme restrictive policies, and Sweden, which has a relatively welcoming culture. The majority of the literature discusses whether those countries are religious or secular; it is expected that the study contributes to a better understanding of the impact of religion and nationalism on migration policies, as well as a discussion of its future implications. Denmark had been extremely homogeneous with only one language and religion and no ethnic minorities, though, this homogeneous structure has begun to deteriorate with the increase in non-western immigration since the 1990s. While the Danish Law of 1983 was widely regarded as the most liberal in Europe, after 1990, equal rights were replaced by immigrant responsibility and integration. With the rise of the anti-immigrant parties in the 2001 elections, social rights were curtailed, and Danish values took centre stage. In Denmark, rules like reducing social assistance after 2015 aim to protect the welfare state, whereas rules like the ban on the burqa and the handshake in the naturalization ceremony are motivated by other factors. The Danish Prime Minister announced the zero-refugee target, the anti-immigrant farright Danish People's Party declared their intention to reduce the number of all immigrants. So, a new discourse has emerged in which no form of immigration is desired. On the other hand, Sweden follows Denmark slightly behind in terms of process, but by going through literally the same processes. While positive discourse about immigrants had been dominant in Sweden, which implemented multicultural policies, the discourse turned negative with the 2015 refugee crisis. Increasing unemployment among immigrants, income inequality, and Swedish identity discussions seems to lead to a rise in nationalism and nativism in the 2022 elections, as well as a reduction in the generosity of the welfare state. Denmark and Sweden cases show how similar welfare states with the same historical and immigration background respond differently to the refugee crisis. While the unemployment rate for foreign-born workers is high in both countries, it is more than three times higher in Sweden. Refugee crisis has made religious identity more visible and put pressure on Scandinavian welfare model as well as governments. Although integration and assimilation policies are brought to the forefront in terms of religious behaviour patterns of Muslims, the emphasis on religion is not made directly, instead, it is made through the symbols of Islam. The reason why Muslims considered as "others" mainly takes its foundation from this difference. Although they do not make religion an important part of their life, and atheism is higher than other parts of the world, in many European countries Christianity is still considered an important part of the European identity and the Church is an important part of it. According to the conclusion of this study, it is highly possible that Denmark might serve as a model to Europe, primarily to Nordic countries, and this strengthens the possibility that anti-immigrant opposition will sharpen and divide societies. The effects of radical Islam, which is gradually increasing its influence around the world, is undoubtedly huge in these politics throughout Europe; however, abandoning or deviating from policies targeting multiculturalism might cause isolation and alienation of immigrants, who are already fleeing from terrorism, and push them towards radicalization which constitutes another danger. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Westphalia AntlaÅŸması'ndan bu yana, egemen devletler ulusal güvenliÄŸi sınır güvenliÄŸi ile özdeÅŸleÅŸtirdiler çünkü sınır "bizi" "diÄŸerleri"nden ayıran bir egemenlik çizgisi olarak kabul edildi. Avrupa ülkelerinin her birinin kendi sınırları içindeki ulusal kimliklerinden bağımsız ÅŸekilde bir üst kimlik olarak Avrupa kimliÄŸi oluÅŸturma adımı, köklerini bu "biz" algısından almaktadır. Kopenhag Kriterleri'nde demokrasi, hukukun üstünlüğü, insan hakları ve azınlıklara saygı ile azınlıkların korunmasını teminat altına alan kurumların istikrarı vurgulanmakla birlikte; günümüz göç politikalarına baktığımızda çok kültürlülüğü saÄŸlayan ve ön plana çıkaran bu kurucu yaklaşımdan ciddi bir sapma olduÄŸunu görmekteyiz. 1960'larda iÅŸgücü göçü, 1990'larda Yugoslavya'dan kaçan mülteciler ve 2015 mülteci kriziyle birlikte Avrupa'nın nüfus yapısı da deÄŸiÅŸmeye baÅŸlamıştır. 11 Eylül terör saldırılarının ardından, göç yönetiminde ekonomik kaygıların yerini güvenlik yaklaşımı almıştır. 2015 mülteci krizi sadece bir sınır güvenliÄŸi krizi deÄŸil, aynı zamanda bir Avrupa kimliÄŸi ile refah devletinin korunmasını amaçlayan bir krizdir aynı zamanda. Bu çalışma, aşırı kısıtlayıcı politikalar uygulayan Danimarka ve nispeten misafirperver bir kültüre sahip Ä°sveç'te 2015 sonrası göç politikalarının dönüşümünde din, milliyetçilik ve ekonomik kaygıların etkilerini araÅŸtırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Literatürün çoÄŸunluÄŸu bu ülkelerin dindar mı yoksa seküler mi olduÄŸunu tartışma odaklı olup, çalışmanın din ve milliyetçiliÄŸin göç politikaları üzerindeki etkisinin daha iyi anlaşılmasına ve gelecekteki etkilerinin tartışılmasına katkı saÄŸlaması beklenmektedir. Danimarka tek dil, tek din ve azınlıkların olmadığı yapısıyla son derece homojendi, ancak, 1990'lardan itibaren batılı olmayan göçün artmasıyla birlikte bu homojen yapı bozulmaya baÅŸlamıştır. 1983 tarihli Danimarka Kanunu, Avrupa'daki en liberal kanun olarak kabul edilirken, 1990'dan sonra eÅŸit hakların yerini göçmen sorumluluÄŸu ve entegrasyonu almıştır. 2001 seçimlerinde göçmen karşıtı partilerin yükseliÅŸi ile sosyal haklar kısıtlanmış ve Danimarka deÄŸerleri ön plana çıkmıştır. Danimarka'da 2015'ten sonra sosyal yardımların azaltılması gibi kurallar refah devletini korumayı amaçlarken, burka yasağı ve vatandaÅŸlığa kabul töreninde el sıkışma gibi kuralların altında daha çok baÅŸka faktörlerin yer aldığı görülmektedir. Danimarka BaÅŸbakanı sıfır mülteci hedefini ortaya koymuÅŸ, göçmen karşıtı aşırı saÄŸ Danimarka Halk Partisi tüm göçmenlerin sayısını azaltma niyetini açıklamıştır. Böylece göçün hiçbir biçiminin istenmediÄŸi yeni bir söylem ortaya çıkmıştır. Öte yandan Ä°sveç, Danimarka'yı süreç bakımından biraz geriden ama tam anlamıyla aynı süreçlerden geçerek takip etmektedir. Çok kültürlü politikalar uygulayan Ä°sveç'te göçmenlere yönelik olumlu söylemler hâkimken, 2015 mülteci kriziyle birlikte bu durum olumsuz yönde deÄŸiÅŸmeye baÅŸlamıştır. Göçmenler arasında artan iÅŸsizlik, gelir eÅŸitsizliÄŸi ve Ä°sveçli kimliÄŸi tartışmalarÄ , 2022 seçimlerinde milliyetçilik ve yerliciliÄŸin artmasına ve refah devletinin cömert tutumunda azalmaya neden olacak gibi gözükmektedir. Danimarka ve Ä°sveç örnekleri, aynı tarihsel ve göçmenlik geçmiÅŸine sahip benzer refah devletlerinin mülteci krizine nasıl farklı tepkiler verdiÄŸini göstermektedir. Her iki ülkede de yabancı uyruklu işçiler için iÅŸsizlik oranı yüksek iken, Ä°sveç'te bu oran üç kattan fazladır. Mülteci krizi, dini kimliÄŸi daha görünür hale getirmiÅŸ ve hükümetler kadar Ä°skandinav refah modeli üzerinde de baskı yaratmıştır. Müslümanların dini davranış kalıpları açısından entegrasyon ve asimilasyon politikaları ön plana çıkarılsa da dine vurgu doÄŸrudan yapılmamakta, bunun yerine Ä°slam'ın sembolleri üzerinden yapılmaktadır. Müslümanların "öteki" olarak kabul edilmelerinin nedeni, temel olarak bu farklılıktan kaynaklanmaktadır. Dini hayatlarının önemli bir parçası yapmasalar da ve ateizm dünyanın diÄŸer bölgelerinden daha yüksek olsa da, birçok Avrupa ülkesinde Hıristiyanlık hala Avrupa kimliÄŸinin önemli bir parçası olarak kabul edilmekte ve Kilise bunun önemli bir parçasını teÅŸkil etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın sonucuna göre Danimarka'nın baÅŸta Ä°skandinav ülkeleri olmak üzere Avrupa'ya model olma ihtimali yüksektir ve bu göçmen karşıtı muhalefetin toplumları keskinleÅŸtirip böleceÄŸi ihtimalini güçlendirmektedir. Tüm dünyada etkisini giderek artıran radikal Ä°slam'ın Avrupa genelinde devam eden bu politikalardaki etkileri kuÅŸkusuz çok büyük ancak çok kültürlülüğü hedef alan politikalardan vazgeçmek veya sapmak, halihazırda terörden kaçan göçmenlerin tecrit ve yabancılaÅŸmalarına neden olup onları baÅŸka bir tehlike arz eden radikalleÅŸmeye itebilecektir.

%X In Norway, as elsewhere in Europe, the debates about immigration, increasing cultural diversity and the need for integration, are heated and polarised. For welfare state workers and institutions, the perceived task and challenge of integration has to a large extent been to both provide space for cultural diversity and to promote social equality through participation in the labour market, education, and civil society. Amidst all this ongoing debate, a large number of people deal with these issues as a part of their daily work. This paper focuses on the dilemmas such street-level bureaucrats, or diversity workers, encounter in their work with refugees, immigrants and their children. Most of all, it explores the strategies they have developed to handle such situations. Street-level bureaucrats have a range of strategies to get around integration dilemmas, which are presented here as five distinct response repertoires. The analytical construction of these repertoires is useful because it provides us with a tool to describe and understand what is going on when policies are translated into institutional practices. It shows how public sector employees are handling the everyday dilemmas that policy does not provide the solutions for. Finally, this analysis of repertoires can also be useful in thinking normatively about what kinds of strategies particular institutions ought to nurture and how they can achieve this.

%X <bold>Background: </bold>Over the last decades, due to high rates of immigration, many high-income countries have witnessed demographic shifts towards more cultural diversity in the population. Socio-economic deprivation and traumatic experiences pre-migration contribute to a high risk for mental health problems among immigrant background youth. Moreover, when adapting to the multi-cultural contexts of the resettlement countries they face several acculturation demands, which may also affect their mental health in adaptive or hazardous ways. One of these acculturation tasks involves developing the cultural competence necessary to thrive and participate socially within the heritage and the majority cultural domains. From a public mental health perspective, it is important to have thorough knowledge about acculturation-related risk and protective factors. However, this responsibility has been challenged by a lack of acculturation measures that are theoretically linked to mental health, and target the cultural competencies of immigrant background youth. Therefore, the current study aimed at examining if a construct of peer-related culture competence, operationalized in the Youth Culture Competence Scale (YCCS), captured the same competence-phenomenon across different language, age, and immigrant groups in two immigrant-receiving countries. The scale includes two dimensions: one of heritage, and one of majority peer-related culture competence.<bold>Methods: </bold>Self-report questionnaire data were collected from 895 unaccompanied refugees and 591 immigrant background high school students in Norway, and from 321 immigrant university students in the United States. To examine if the measure assessed the same phenomenon of peer-related culture competence across these three multi-ethnic samples with an age range from 13 to 28, we examined its measurement equivalence. Additionally, we examined if the association between peer-related culture competence and depressive symptoms was similar in these groups.<bold>Results: </bold>Confirmatory factor analyses supported the proposed two factor structure of the YCCS across the three samples. The structural equation model assessing the effects of heritage and majority culture competence on depressive symptoms confirmed that each culture competence dimension had a unique association with depressive symptoms across the samples.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>We conclude that the YCCS is a robust acculturation measure that may be included in public health studies of mental health among multi-ethnic refugee and immigrant samples of varied ages.

%X In contemporary globalized societies, the number of foreign workers is increasing, resulting in greater intercultural contact and adaptation. Foreign workers apply their cultural intelligence when adapting to and working in multicultural environments, resulting in affiliations with both their cultural heritage and their destination cultural stream. We examined foreign workers' (N = 264) intercultural adaptation in the globalized context of Denmark. We found that cultural intelligence was directly and positively linked with adaptable work performance. Furthermore, cultural intelligence was indirectly and negatively associated with sociocultural adaptation difficulties through endorsement of Danish culture. Likewise, perceived negative context of reception was indirectly and positively associated with sociocultural adaptation difficulties through low endorsement of Danish culture. Additionally, perceived stress predicted adaptable work performance, whereas perceived context of reception and sociocultural adaptation difficulties did not. Overall, our results suggest involvement in the destination culture as a culturally intelligent way of applying one's cultural capabilities, suggesting that the perceived context of reception is of great importance for helping foreign workers adapt to their destination cultural environments.

%X Artiklen handler om prakisforskning baseret på et transnationalt EU-projekt, der sigter på at forbedre »adult migrant learners’ « kompetencer for aktiv deltagelse i samfundet. Projektets formål var forbedring af de voksnes forståelse af socialt ansvar på forskellige niveauer ved at gøre dem bevidst om deres rettigheder og pligter – både som medborgere, som forældre og som enkeltpersoner. Projektets grundlæggende begrundelse er et empowerment perspektiv, set som processer hvorigennem underprivilegerede individer og socialgrupper forbedrer deres evne til at skabe, overskue, kontrollere og håndtere materielle, sociale, kulturelle og symbolske ressourcer. Uformelle læringstilgange såsom dialogiske psykosociale workshops, »creative writing workshops« og filmproduktion, blev benyttet i forskellige geografiske kontekster: en NGO i København, Danmark, en NGO i London, United Kingdom og en Folkehøjskole i Mikkeli, Finland i perioden fra 2003 til 2006. Projektet indeholdt bl.a. etablering af kontakt på tværs af etniske, uddannelsesmæssige og nationale grænser, inddragelse af »adult migrant learners’« stemmer og løbende evaluering. Artiklen diskuterer ligeledes begrænsningerne af de tidsafgrænsede projekter. På trods af forskellige dominerende fokus i de tre lande (forældre- empowerment i Danmark, forbedrede jobmuligheder og entreprenørskab i UK og forbedret social tilpasning i Finland) var det fælles aspekt i projektet, at de voksne kursister kunne reflektere over deres forståelse af deres medborgerskab i en kontekst af multikulturalisme og postmodernisme. Derudover var der fælles temaer, hvor lige muligheder, social inklusion og racisme inden for hvert land blev belyst med inddragelse af implikationerne for de voksne. Desuden belyser artiklen, hvordan videnformidling gennem transnationale konferencer førte til øget empowerment og forbedret socialt ansvar ikke kun blandt kursisterne, men også blandt de professionelle.

%X Intermarriage with natives is a key indicator of immigrant integration. This article studies intermarriage for 138 immigrant groups in Sweden, using longitudinal individual level data. It shows great variation in marriage patterns across immigrant populations, ranging from over 70 percent endogamy in some immigrants groups to below 5 percent in other groups. Although part of this variation is explained by human capital and the structure of the marriage market, cultural factors (values, religion, and language) play an important role as well. Immigrants from culturally more dissimilar countries are less likely to intermarry with natives, and instead more prone to endogamy.

%X Organized cultural encounters manage difference, conduct, time and space. Yet, alternative social spaces emerge besides these scripts. This article explores migrant space-making in integration gardens, an urban gardening association in Copenhagen aiming to ‘dismantle social and cultural boundaries’. The space of the gardens is multilayered. Firstly, it operates as an integration grid – a homogenizing-organized cultural encounter evolving around a foreigner–Dane binary. However, the gardens also emerge as a web of gardening, centered around plants and gardening practices, breaching multiple (hi)stories, locations, relationships, and materialities. The article juxtaposes the spatiotemporal logics of the integration grid and the web of gardening, analyzing the possibilities for action and relating they afford. The analysis contributes to theorizations of organized cultural encounters by highlighting the embodied, affective human and non-human agencies in divergent space-making practices. Discussing these multidirectional spaces, the article links conceptualizations of agency, bodies, affectivity, time and space.

%X This study uses Norwegian public register data in a spatial correlation approach, and analyzes associations between regional variations in immigration and employment outcomes 2004-2015 in a cohort of adult residents (N = 1.3 million). A higher share of immigrants in the regional population and an immigrant population dominated by low-educated were associated with slightly negative work income trends and less employment opportunities for residents, in particular for loweducated natives and earlier immigrants. A steep increase in the immigrant share of the regional population was, on the other hand, associated with better employment outcomes for all analyzed resident categories. Overall, regional immigration differences were only modestly related to the outcomes. Findings indicate that the institutional context has limited the role of market mechanisms in the labor market, and a booming regional economy will tend to neutralize potentially negative effects of immigration on residents' employment.

%X An increasing number of scholars argue that politicians' ill-defined policies of sport for integration are difficult to realize and, paradoxically, can lead to a sense of alterity and exclusion. This paper provides a micro-analysis of the 'slippage' between government visions of sport for integration for refugees and the local, contextual interpretations of sport policy for inclusion. From a critical constructivist perspective, influenced by critical race theory, it examines policy enactment by asking: 'How did sport for integration of young refugees get talked and written about in a voluntary sports club?'; 'How did this language in use construct the practices that became locally naturalized?'; and 'What ideologies were underpinning these realities'? Findings from the critical discourse analysis revealed that local enactments of policy for integration were mostly built upon assimilationist ideas that can exclude, rather than integrate, refugees, and did ideological work to uphold racialized hierarchies in sport. Alternative visions of integration (such as two-way processes of integration or ideas about celebrating cultural diversity) were rationally marginalized in the everyday business of the voluntary sports club, namely, competitive sport. The findings contribute to the literature that claims VSCs may be unsuitable arenas for integration initiatives aiming to provide meaningful physical activity for refugee youth.

%X This article investigates the impact of economic crises in the early 1970s and 2000s on integration policy frames in Denmark. By the means of a comparative case study of 'guest workers' in the 1960s/1970s and labor migrants in 2000s, we identify changes in discourses and policy frames brought on by economic crisis. In the article, we explore policy transformations relating to integration in the light of periods economic upturns and downturns. We analyze and compare the development of policy frames and policy content before, during and after the crises and thereby seek to answer how economic contours affect not only policy-making processes and content but also the social construction of target groups. The fact that Denmark did not have an official policy on integration of the guest workers in the 1960s and 1970s created a different point of departure than in the 2000s where the experience with and policy on integration of immigrant is much more developed. It is therefore also rather striking that many of the mistakes made during the 1960s and 1970s seems to be repeated in the 2000s. The situation of economic upturn and envision of the migration being temporary did, in both cases, lead to little emphasis on integration up until the point of crisis. In the analysis, we find that issues such as religious background, cultural characteristics, and educational levels, position on labor market, language proficiency, housing, and mobility which all pertain to integration are given less attention in times of economic upturn.

%X Aims and objectives: To explore how Philippine‐educated nurses explain their choice of Norway as their migration destination and their experience with the credential assessment process in Norway. Background: Norway has an increasing need for nurses, and nurses educated in non‐EU countries are an important resource for the Norwegian health service. Philippine nurses compose the largest group of internationally educated nurses from outside the EU, but their Philippine nursing education is only credited as equivalent to 2 years in Norway. Migration is known to engender stressful experiences amongst migrant nurses, which may affect their health. However, studies on Philippine nurses' experiences of migrating to and working in Norway are lacking. Design and methods: The study used a hermeneutic design, conducting qualitative research interviews with ten Philippine nurses. All of them had a certification as auxiliary nurses, but not as registered nurses. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research is used. Results: The nurses' choice of a migration country appeared to be both random and based on the opportunity to find well‐paid work, as well as having acquaintances who had already migrated to Norway. The migrated Philippine nurses seemed experienced and competent. In Norway, they were disappointed as they felt undervalued. The nurses struggled to learn Norwegian, while striving for survival when acquiring jobs or accommodations. They were excluded from acting as legal nurses in the Norwegian healthcare system; they fulfilled the governmental requirements, but they were repeatedly rejected. The informants saw this as harsh, but still hoped to be successful. Conclusions: There is a need to facilitate effective language training and a well‐founded, predictable system of credentialing. Relevance to clinical practice: Attention should be paid to the integration of immigrants and safeguarding and strengthening the professional competence the nurses bring with them.

%X Does living in an area characterized by high concentrations of residents of the same country-of-origin deprive ethnic minority groups, or does potential access to an extended country-of-origin-specific network stimulate their integration? This paper takes a new approach to analysing the potential of country-of-origin-specific economic capital in neighbourhoods to increase employment opportunities. We add to the 'ethnic enclave' debate by measuring country-of-origin-specific economic capital as the rate of employed co-countrymen, while controlling for the presence of co-countrymen and general employment rates in the neighbourhood. Whereas many studies employ aggregated data to estimate the impact of neighbourhood, here we use individualized, scalable neighbourhoods. This allows for a flexible approach in studying the impact of country-of-origin-specific economic capital in neighbourhoods. We employ individual longitudinal Swedish registry data for 2000–2010 on working-age individuals of Iraqi, Iranian, Turkish, and Somalian backgrounds in Stockholm, Göteborg, and Malmö. We find that an increased share of employed co-countrymen positively influences individual employment prospects. We add to existing knowledge by showing that the impact of minority clustering on employment outcomes is conditional on the quality of local networks – i.e., country-of-origin-specific economic capital – and on the scale of measurement.

%X The issue of residential segregation has been on the Swedish political agenda since the early 1970s. This paper analyses the background for this interest, presents some basic features of socio-economic and ethnic residential segregation, and discusses some fundamental contextual properties regarding the Swedish welfare state, its institutional set-up and changes in housing and other policies that have affected the conditions for segregation processes. Three more specific anti-segregation policies are also identified and analysed: housing and social mix policy (first initiated in the 1970s); the refugee dispersal policy (initiated in the 1980s); and the area-based urban policy (initiated in the 1990s). Of these three, the last two have a clear ethnic focus while mix policies primarily aim for socio-economic and demographic mix. The analysis shows that none of the policies have managed to affect levels of segregation more than marginally, the reasons being ineffective implementation (the mix policy), failures in the design (the refugee dispersal policy) or conflicting aims inherent in the policy (area-based interventions).

%X Drawing on 22 qualitative interviews with social workers in Sweden, this article analyzes how social workers conceive immigrant integration and racism and tackle racism within their institutions and the wider Swedish society. The majority of the white social workers framed integration in relation to cultural differences and denied or minimized the role of racism in structuring their services and the ethnic relations in Sweden. In contrast, social workers with immigrant backgrounds were less compromising in discussing racism and assumed it as a problem both for themselves as institutional actors and as immigrants in everyday life and institutional settings. Social institutions in Sweden have been important actors in endorsing equality and accommodating differences. However, it is of paramount importance for social justice-minded social workers to identify and unsettle those structures and discourses that enable racist and discriminatory policies and practices against those groups who are not viewed as “core” members of the Swedish society. The absence of anti-racist social work within Swedish social work is primarily related to the idea of color-blind welfare universalism that is assumed to transcend the particularity of the needs, experiences, and perspectives of different groups in Sweden. While integration is envisioned and framed as a political project of inclusion of non-white immigrants, it tends to become a political device through which hierarchies of belonging are constructed. Following such conception of integration, cultural/religious differences and equality are framed as conflicting where cultural conformity underpinned by assimilationist discourses becomes a requirement for political, social, and economic equality.

%X This article explores how the minority protection regime affects immigrants in the Åland Islands, focusing on the institution of regional citizenship. Is the inclusion of migrants in the Åland Islands of Finland affected by this institution? The article reviews the historical foundations of the minority protection regime, its legislative development, and contemporary debates surrounding the Åland Islands' institution of regional citizenship. It argues that the right of domicile of the Åland Islands should not be considered a barrier to inclusion for immigrants although it is in part tied to political rights, as well as to the right to acquire property and trade in the Islands. Contemporary debates on the link between the right of domicile and Finnish citizenship attest to the contested nature of this marginal regional citizenship, which, to the extent it performs an exclusionary function, depends on the construction of national citizenship. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017

It analyzes the composition of the Colombian resident colony in Göteborg. The paper focuses on their socioeconomic and labor characteristics as well as on their processes of integration into Swedish society during the past twenty years. The centers of attention are set on family groups, community meeting places, gender roles, and behavior as refugees. The methodology used includes interviews, written questionnaires, and other ethnographic techniques. All of these were used to create a body of documentation that could provide ground for interpretation.

%X As a group, newly arrived migrants in Sweden face inequities in health compared to the general population. Successful promotion of population health requires awareness of and focus on health from several sectors of society. In light of this, the aim was to study the views of local authority officials on collaboration in health promotion activities for newly arrived migrants. Data was collected through five focus group interviews with 23 local authority officials working with the integration of newly arrived migrants in the Establishment Program in a municipality or at the Employment Services in northern Sweden. An inductive qualitative latent content analysis was performed, and the analysis showed that the participating officials considered health promotion as desirable in the Establishment Program, but it also raised complex issues within the existing organisations. The officials described unclear roles, but also possible changes to the organisation that would improve the possibility of working to promote health. The present study adds to the relatively limited knowledge of health promotion in integration activities and offers clinical relevance for policymakers through the officials' suggestions for improvements in the Establishment Program. It also raises important questions for further research.

%X Intermarriage with natives has the potential to enhance immigrant integration, as intermarried immigrants gain access to resources such as language skills, information about institutions and customs, and native networks. Due to these spillover effects, immigrants in intermarriages are more likely to be successful in the labour market. However, a positive relationship between intermarriage and economic integration can also be caused by selection based on unobserved characteristics. In previous studies, spillover effects have only been studied from the time of marriage but could occur in a period of cohabitation before marriage. Using unique register data from Denmark, we are able to identify cohabiting couples to analyse both intermarriage and exogamous cohabitation premiums. We study these effects and address selection in a panel data framework, obtaining a time profile of income in relation to the start of cohabitation. Results show comparatively high premiums for male and female immigrants from countries with lower levels of overall economic development and these income increases are directly related to relationship formation.

%X Family migration policy, once basing citizens and resident foreigners’ possibilities to bring in foreign family members mainly on the right to family life, is increasingly a tool states use to limit immigration and to push newcomers to integrate into civic and economic life. The family migration policies of Denmark, Norway and Sweden range widely – from more minimal support and age requirements to high expectations of language skills, work records and even income levels. While in Denmark and increasingly in Norway growing sets of requirements have been justified on the need to protect the welfare state and a Nordic liberal way of life, in Sweden more minimal requirements have been introduced in the name of spurring immigrants’ labor market integration even as rights-based reasoning has continued to dominate. In all three countries, new restrictions have been introduced in the wake of the refugee crisis. These cases show how prioritizations of the right to family life vis-à-vis welfare-state sustainability have produced different rules for family entry, and how family migration policies are used to different extents to push civic integration of both new and already settled immigrants. © 2017, The Author(s).

%X This special issue addresses the question of how to understand the civic turn within immigrant integration in the West towards programs and instruments, public discourses and political intentions, which aim to condition, incentivize, and shape through socialization immigrants into ‘citizens’. Empirically, it focuses on the less studied Scandinavian cases of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. In this introduction, we situate the contributions to this special issue within the overall debate on civic integration and convergence. We introduce the three cases, critically discuss the (liberal) convergence thesis and its descriptive and explanatory claims, and explain why studying the Scandinavian welfare states can further our understanding of the nature of the civic turn and its driving forces. Before concluding, we discuss whether civic integration policies actually work. © 2017, The Author(s).

%X After having coordinated their nationality laws since the late 19th century, the Scandinavian countries have moved in distinctly different directions in this field since the turn of the millennium. Today Sweden has one of the most liberal citizenship policies in Europe, while Denmark has one of the most restrictive. Norway occupies an intermediate position between its Scandinavian neighbours. In this article, I compare the differences in Scandinavian nationality law and the political processes that led to these changes. The highly divergent development of nationality law in the Scandinavian region questions the widespread idea that a general convergence towards liberalization of European nationality law is taking place. Although static concepts of nationhood cannot account for the recent changes in Scandinavian nationality law, ideas about national identity and social cohesion are still highly influential in determining the content of nationality law. © 2015, Midtbøen; licensee Springer.

%X Over the last decades, Sweden has liberalized its citizenship policy by reducing the required number of years of residency to 5 years for foreign citizens and only 2 years for Nordic citizens. Dual citizenship has been allowed since 2001. During the same period, immigration patterns by country of birth changed substantially, with an increasing number of immigrants arriving from non-western countries. Furthermore, immigrants were settling in larger cities as opposed to smaller towns as was the case before. Interestingly, the employment integration of immigrants has declined gradually, and in 2006, the employment rate for foreign-born individuals is substantially lower compared with the native-born. The aim of this paper is to explore the link between citizenship and employment probabilities for immigrants in Sweden, controlling for a range of demographic, human capital, and municipal characteristics such as city and co-ethnic population size. The information we employ for this analysis consists of register data on the whole population of Sweden held by Statistics Sweden for the year 2006. The basic register, STATIV, includes demographic, socio-economic, and immigrant specific information. In this paper, we used instrumental variable regression to examine the "clean" impact of citizenship acquisition and the size of the co-immigrant population on the probability of being employed. In contrast to Scott (2008), we find that citizenship acquisition has a positive impact for a number of immigrant groups. This is particularly the case for non-EU/non-North American immigrants. In terms of intake class, refugees appear to experience substantial gains from citizenship acquisition (this is not, however, the case for immigrants entering as family class). We find that the impact of the co-immigrant population is particularly important for immigrants from Asia and Africa. These are also the countries that have the lowest employment rate. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

%X Purpose: This paper examines intergenerational, interdependent and contextual aspects of wellbeing and acculturative stress in refugee families during resettlement. Particular focus is placed on how children influence their parents. Method: The study is based on interviews with and diary notes from Middle Eastern parents and children residing in Sweden. Results: Analyzes of the narratives show how the direct and indirect influence of the child affects the parents in both negative and positive ways. Acculturative stress follows from unexpected and undesired migration outcomes, such as parent-child conflicts and low school achievement. Such strains add to other hardships refugee families face, for instance, unemployment, welfare dependence, poor housing, and insufficient mastery of the majority language. However, acculturative stress can be alleviated by the children's educational success, and reciprocal practices of love and caring including helping out with chores and supporting each other in different ways. Conclusions: Children's agency has significant effects on parents' wellbeing, as wellbeing is accomplished in and through relationships with others.

%X How is solidarity achieved in highly diverse societies - particularly those that have been until recently characterized by rather homogeneous populations? What are the implications of growing levels of diversity on existing social arrangements? These two fundamental questions are explored in this edited collection, which examines the challenges of minority integration in four Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. These nations represent paradigmatic examples of social democratic welfare states that place a premium on a robust package of social rights, combined with policies aimed at reducing levels of class-based inequality and promoting gender equity. All four of these nations have witnessed growing levels of diversity due to immigration and three of them have been forced to rethink their policies concerning the indigenous Sámi, as well as old minority groups. Two introductory chapters, by Thomas Hylland Eriksen and Peter Kivisto, serve as a conceptual framework for the seven case studies that follow, and which, from a variety of perspectives and with differing emphases, analyze the evolving realities in these nations today. Taken together, they offer evidence of the critical issues surrounding attempts to achieve solidarity while valorizing diversity. © 2015 Peter A. Kraus, Peter Kivisto.

%X Aim: To examine whether new immigrants had inferior quality-of-life, well-being and general functioning compared with Swedish age- and sex-matched controls. Methods: A prospective case–control study was designed including immigrants from non-European countries, 18–65 years of age, with recent Permanent Permits to Stay (PPS) in Sweden, and age- and sex-matched Swedish-born (SB) persons from the general population in Västmanland County, Sweden. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the brief version of the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life (WHOQOL-BREF) Scale and the General Activity Functioning Assessment Scale (GAF) from DSM-IV were posted (SB), or applied in personal interviews (PPS) with interpreters. Differences between the PPS and SB groups were measured using McNemar's test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test conducted separately for observations at baseline, 6- and 12-month follow-up. Results: There were 93 pairs (mean age 36 years). Persons from Somalia (67%) and Iraq (27%) dominated the PPS group. The differences between the groups were statistically significant for all time points for the Psychological health and Social relationship domains of WHOQOL-BREF, and for the baseline and 6-month follow-up time points of GHQ-12 where the PPS-group had a higher degree of well-being, health and quality-of-life than the SB. This tendency applied for both sexes in the immigrant group. Conclusions: These new immigrants did not have inferior physical or psychological health, quality-of-life, well-being or social functioning compared with their age- and sex-matched Swedish born pairs during a 1-year follow-up. Thus, there is reason to advocate immigrants' fast integration into society. © 2014, the Nordic Societies of Public Health. All rights reserved.

%X In Sweden, several trends intersect: the gig economy is growing rapidly; immigrants find it challenging to find work; and integration policies increasingly focus on the role of the first job as a benchmark for integration. This empirical study inserts an intersectional perspective into the exploration of the gig economy by examining immigrant women’s daily working experiences within a transactional gig platform, “Yummy”. This food app links home-based chefs to public consumers through online ordering systems. Through in-depth interviews with chefs, the app management team and participatory observations at firm training sessions and food festivals, we explore the complexity of gendered and racialized precarious work from inside the gig economy to consider daily gig life from a feminist economics perspective. The study shows the gig economy does provide entrepreneurial opportunities for new immigrants with these being based on gendered norms. We demonstrate how gendered narratives of idle capacities and women’s work in the home and family spheres are marketized and transformed through the platform. Our study widens the scope of understanding the gig economy by positioning gig work as part of broader social relations between a company, the workers and gender norms. © 2020, © 2020 The Author(s).

%X The aim of the study was to describe the experience of outdoor mobility among immigrants with late effects of polio living in Sweden. There is a need to understand more about this young group of persons since they often have problems with mobility and gait, but they may also face participation restrictions due to issues associated with integration into a new community and culture. A total of 14 young immigrants with late effects of polio participated and were interviewed individually. The study used a qualitative method to explore personal experiences and the interviews were analyzed through an inductive approach, using qualitative content analysis. The analysis led to a major theme; self-image and acceptance, that comprised a changeable process and experiences of cultural, social, and gender-specific barriers, but also of environmental and personal factors that impacted their outdoor mobility. By using a car, the participants felt they could come across as normal which also increased their self-esteem. Independent mobility is a major enabler for ongoing employment and being able to use a car increases the chances for integration into society for young immigrants with late effects of polio. Public transport is not considered to be adequate or efficient enough due to the participants' mobility impairments, but driving can prevent involuntary isolation and facilitate participation. A car can increase quality of life but may also be a facilitator for work and reduce the demand for societal support.

%X This article explores the relationship between transnationalism and integration by examining the determinants of remittance-sending practices. We base our analysis on the premise that remittance-sending is shaped by a combination of the capacity and the desire of migrants to remit. The capacity to remit depends on access to funds that can be remitted, be it through wages, other income or savings. The desire to remit determines how remittance-sending is prioritised in relation to alternative expenditures. We assume that capacity is shaped by circumstances in the country of residence while desire depends on attachment and commitments in both the country of residence and the country of origin. Our analysis is based on survey data on immigrants in Norway (N=3,053). We find that economic integration is important for remittance-sending, and point to different mechanisms through which this effect could operate. Migrants' socio-cultural integration, however, appears not to have significant effects on remittance-sending. Our approach and results illustrate how different aspects of integration can have divergent impacts on transnationalism.

%X This study examines the relationship between attitudes toward migrants and social integration. Specifically, we consider two types of migration flow: migration flow from EU countries and migration flow from non-EU countries. The aims of this paper are twofold: (1) we want to understand whether an inclusive attitude towards migrants can contribute to their efforts to integrate with the receiving society (2) we want to understand whether the potential impact is the same across different migrant groups (EU vs. non-EU). Using data from 33 mainly European countries over the period 2003–2016 and controlling for common integration determinants such as inflation, foreign direct investment and educational attainment, our results indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between inclusive and good attitude toward migrants and social integration. We also in the robustness sections, identify that the size of this impact differs across different subcomponents of attitudes and integration, these results are robust to alternative estimation techniques that take cares of endogeneity (System GMM, 2SLS, and Lewbel 2SLS).

%X The problem of integrating non-Western immigrants into Western welfare states is the focus of this paper. To address this issue, we suggest a social capital approach in which we apply the conceptual pair of bridging social capital (BR), which connects an individual to the broader social structure, and bonding social capital (BO), which closely binds an individual to his or her narrow social group. By this we hope to grasp both the sunny and the more shadowy side of network cooperation and trust in relation to the integration of immigrants. Our data, on non-Western immigrants in Denmark, show a positive relationship between the levels of bridging and bonding capital, suggesting that bonding social capital in the immigrant group does not seem to impede the establishment of the bridging social capital needed for integration.

%M rayyan-298338042
%K Integrering
%X Flyktninger som får opphold i Norge blir vanligvis bosatt av statlige myndigheter i en av landets kommuner. Norge har mer enn 400 kommuner, og det er stor variasjon fra kommune til kommune når det gjelder forhold som for eksempel arbeidsmarked, innbyggernes utdannings- og inntektsnivå, sentralitet, folketall og andel innvandrere. Disse forholdene kan tenkes å påvirke hvordan det går med flyktningene på lang sikt. For å si noe om en slik effekt av bosettingskommunens egenskaper på langsiktige integreringsutfall på individnivå er det imidlertid nødvendig at det ikke finnes systematiske forskjeller på såkalte uobserverbare kjennetegn som påvirker både hvem som bosettes hvor og hvordan det går med flyktningene i arbeidslivet og på andre sosiale arenaer. Hittil finnes det begrenset med systematisk informasjon om bosettingspraksisen i UDI (Utlendingsdirektoratet) og IMDi (Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet), samt hvorvidt hele eller deler av denne praksisen kan brukes som utgangspunkt for et kausalt forskningsdesign. Følgelig er det også begrenset hva vi vet om effekten av å bli bosatt i en kommune med visse kjennetegn for videre integrering. Det er disse spørsmålene som ligger til grunn for denne rapporten. Rapporten starter med en gjennomgang av internasjonal (og særlig skandinavisk) litteratur på dette feltet og en oversikt over ulike systemer for bosetting. Det norske systemet tar utgangspunkt i at et statlig organ (IMDi, og tidligere UDI) fordeler flyktninger i dialog med kommunene. For å få oversikt over denne prosessen og hvordan ulike retningslinjer utøves i praksis baserer vi oss på rapporter og andre offentlige dokumenter som blant annet budsjettproposisjoner fra de ansvarlige departementer, samt intervjuer med relevante personer i IMDi. Denne gjennomgangen viser at flere hensyn er viktige i bosettingsprosessen, men at rask bosetting lenge har vært et overordnet hensyn. Videre benytter vi data fra UDI og SSB for å undersøke empirisk hvilke flyktninger som er blitt plassert i hvilke kommuner. Vi tar for oss personer som er 18 år eller mer og som ble bosatt i Norge med offentlig hjelp i årene 2002-2012, og inkluderer både overføringsflyktninger (kvoteflyktninger) og asylsøkere som er bosatt etter å ha fått innvilget sin søknad. Resultatene bekrefter bildet fra litteraturgjennomgang og intervjuer, og viser at flyktningene ikke plasseres helt tilfeldig. Blant annet blir høyt utdannede flyktninger og kvinner oftere bosatt i sentrale, folkerike kommuner med høyt utdannings- og inntektsnivå og en høy andel innvandrere, mens barnefamilier og overføringsflyktninger i større grad blir bosatt i mindre sentrale kommuner med lavere folketall og lavere inntekts- og utdanningsnivå. Det ser ut til å være en større grad av tilfeldighet knyttet til bosettingen av overføringsflyktninger enn for asylsøkere. I perioder med stor flyktningetilstrømming og ekstra fokus på rask bosetting ser det ut til å være færre systematiske forskjeller i hvem som bosettes hvor. Siden det ikke er tilfeldig hvilke flyktninger som blir plassert hvor, er det vanskelig å benytte den norske bosettingsordningen som utgangspunkt for overordnede kausale analyser som skal undersøke effekten av å bli bosatt i en kommune med visse egenskaper. Korrelasjonsanalyser viser imidlertid at det er en sammenheng mellom en rekke kommuneegenskaper (herunder sentralitet, folketall og arbeidsledighet) og flere integreringsutfall (inkludert sekundærflytting, sysselsetting og utdanningsnivå) målt fem år etter bosetting. For eksempel har flyktninger som bosettes i mer usentrale kommuner større sannsynlighet for å flytte til en ny kommune og større sannsynlighet for å være i jobb fem år etter bosetting enn de som blir bosatt i mer sentrale kommuner. Men det er imidlertid ikke mulig å fastslå hvorvidt dette skyldes bosettingskommunens egenskaper eller andre ukjente bakenforliggende egenskaper hos flyktningene.

Undersøkelsen bekrefter en rekke utfordringer knyttet til bosettingsarbeidet, blant annet manglende boligsosial planlegging, mangel på egnede boliger, uforutsigbarhet knyttet til familiegjenforening, sekundærflytting og et krevende integreringsarbeid. Mulige tiltak kan være aktiv bruk av boligsosiale handlingsplaner, opprettelse av tverrsektorielle "boligteam", bruk av det private boligmarkedet, samt bofellesskap som midlertidig boløsning i påvente av familiegjenforening eller fullføring av introduksjonsprogrammet.

%X Immigrants from South Asia have higher risks of mental health problems. Low levels of acculturation and self-efficacy may be risk factors for depression and psychological distress in immigrants. 355 Pakistani immigrant women in Oslo, filled out a questionnaire concerning demographic variables, self-efficacy, and psychological distress. A bidimensional acculturation variable was constructed. A stepwise logistic regression model was used to investigate the importance of the level of acculturation and self-efficacy on psychological distress. Low levels of acculturation were reported. Integrated participants reported significantly less psychological distress on the depression score and total score than separated and marginalized participants. The model showed that assimilated or marginalized participants had a fourth and three times higher risk of high levels of distress compared with integrated participants. The possibility to be bicultural seems important in order to ensure mental health and national policies should promote an integrative and multiculturalism approach.

The Nordic model is known for recognizing the inherent value of childhood and organizing ECEC services around children’s play, cooperation, and participation. However, non-Nordic children’s access to these services and their participation in them remain concerns. This paper reports on a study with ten Polish children, who share with the researcher their experiences in Norwegian ECECs and their transition to Norway. The results underscore belonging and participation in the main ECEC activities as aspects of great importance. Participation in a play-based ECEC, however, depends on children’s capital, which is devalued during migration. The findings presented in this paper address various pedagogical approaches for including newcomer children in ECECs. © 2018, © 2018 EECERA.

%X This paper analyses the impact of working in an ethnic economy on subsequent labour market performance for newly arrived immigrants. Is it a short cut to the labour market or does it lock immigrants into low income jobs? Working in an ethnic economy is defined as being employed by a self-employed co-national. The comparison group is a matched sample of newly arrived immigrants who were without employment during the same period. Swedish panel data for the period 1998-2005 are used, and the sample is restricted to male immigrants, 20-55 years of age. Using propensity score matching, we find that immigrants who were employed by self-employed co-nationals are more likely to be employed in the near future, but that the types of employment they have are associated with lower incomes. Many continue to be employed by self-employed co-nationals or become self-employed themselves.

%X This article examines refugee experiences of the Danish mandatory spatial dispersal policy, which requires that individuals and families agree to live for three years in an assigned community when accepted as refugees. The policy is based on the assumption that immersion in ethnically Danish local communities will facilitate integration. Ethnographic field research carried out in two rural municipalities shows, however, that trusted relatives or co-ethnics already settled in the country can have a considerable integrative effect because they act as mediators between newly arrived refugees and Danish welfare society. They thus introduce refugees to local cultural values and everyday routines and demonstrate how to navigate them. This is particularly important in a country where, on the one hand, the welfare state and its professional workers tend to intervene deeply into the domestic sphere of its citizens, and, on the other, cultural homogeneity is emphasised and viewed as closely related to equality. Not being surrounded by a network of kinsmen nor having the opportunity to form new family-like relations with co-ethnics within one's local surroundings can therefore seriously affect the ability of refugee families to establish a new life in Danish society. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.

%X This article scrutinises the normalised realities behind integration policies and training for refugees and immigrants that are claimed to be inclusive. The 'great narrative' of Finland has been focused on equal opportunity via education and training, which makes it even more important to examine the hidden realities and how such realities affect the integration process. We focus on labour market-oriented integration training, since employment is considered to be the most important element for successful integration and social inclusion. Our data consists of interviews with 20 refugees, 5 immigrants, 6 integration professionals and 3 policy makers, in addition to ethnographic field notes. Through a discursive approach and utilising studies on governmentality, we unveil how governing through integration practices works. The article explores how integration practices that claim to be inclusionary are maintaining forms of exclusion, which becomes a mechanism of exclusionary inclusion. Our analysis shows what refugees and immigrants have to adopt and adapt to as part of their own subjectification in order to become integrateable, and thus includable.

%X The numbers of elderly immigrants are increasing in Norway and their participation in civic activities is recognized to be crucial to their health and wellbeing. A qualitative study of 24 African immigrants aged 50 years and over was carried out in Oslo. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore barriers and facilitators to civic engagement among elderly African immigrants. The study discovered a number of barriers to participation of elderly immigrants in civic organizations. These barriers include poor health conditions, lack of information about relevant organizations, language difficulties and mistrust towards organizations. The elderly immigrants also pointed to the effectiveness of organizations in addressing community issues as a factor motivating their civic engagement. We argue that the barriers identified by this study pose challenges to achieving Norwegian policy goals of integration and Norwegian policy for active ageing. Hence, there is a need for service providers and policy makers to ensure voluntary organizations address those barriers effectively. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

%X This paper reports a case study in which 53 adult refugees initiated their own forms of learning with the aim of strengthening their opportunities for integration into Swedish society. The overall research interest was to find out what theoretical implications can be drawn from a case study where two different forms of learning were implemented. One alternative was offered in a formal setting and another in a non‐formal setting where the group members shaped forms of learning themselves. The findings show that many features of non‐formal working procedures correspond with basic assumptions and key concepts of sociocultural theory. Furthermore, these features accord well with key concepts of authentic learning. In a similar way as theoretical aspects of “situated learning” can be seen as an integrated part of sociocultural theory, we discuss whether the notion “authentic learning” could be used as a dimension of supporting meaningful learning in contextualised inclusive learning environments.

%X Successful integration of immigrants is vital for rural areas facing population decline and labour shortage. Yet little is known about the role civil society plays in this process and about the factors that promote or hamper acceptance of immigrants by the local population. By using data from a national survey of the Norwegian population, this article examines rural‐urban differences in attitudes toward immigrants and immigration, and what characteristics rural and urban residents consider important for immigrants who may settle in their locality. The results indicate that people living in rural areas express more negative attitudes toward immigrants and immigration compared to people living in urban areas. Additionally, rural residents place greater importance than their urban counterparts do on immigrants' participating in local events, speaking the native language, and being willing to adapt to Norwegian values.

%X Due to its negative impact on public health, female circumcision (FC) has gained increased attention from international communities and the Norwegian public in recent decades. In 1995, the Norwegian government outlawed the practice and simultaneously developed a package of measures aimed at preventing and ultimately eradicating FC in Norway. Like many other Western countries, immigrants of Somali descent constitute the largest immigrant group in Norway from countries with FC traditions. Although this immigrant group is often perceived as a cultural society that supports FC generally as a practice, there appears to be a lack of studies that explore the impact of acculturation and the Western social context on Somali immigrants' attitudes toward the practice. Against this background, this paper explores the attitudes of Somalis living in Oslo, Norway to the practice of FC. Findings from this qualitative study indicate that Somalis in Oslo have, to a large extent, changed their attitude toward the practice. This was proven by the presence in Oslo of a large number of Somali parents who left their daughters uncut as well as Somali girls, boys, men, and women who attribute being uncircumcised a high status. This study adds to the knowledge of the process of abandonment of FC among immigrants in the Western countries. The study highlights the success that has been achieved in improving attitudes toward the practice of the Somali community in Oslo, Norway, as well as emerging challenges that need to be addressed further.

%X PurposePoor mental health is common amongst unaccompanied refugee adolescents and may have serious negative consequences for their successful settlement. This study aims to elucidate unaccompanied adolescents’ experiences of psychosocial challenges and what they need to cope with this during their course of settlement in Denmark, particularly focussing on social support.Design/methodology/approachThe study sample included six male unaccompanied refugee adolescents aged 17–18, living in two residential care facilities. Based on a triangulation of methods (i.e. participant observation, individual interviews and a focus group interview using photo-elicitation), a thematic analysis was conducted within the conceptual framework of stigma and a need for relatedness.FindingsSeveral interwoven and on-going psychosocial challenges, including perceived stigma and loneliness combined with past traumatic experiences and uncertainties about the future, were experienced by the adolescents in this study. As opposed to experiencing emotional distress, stigma and loneliness, various activities of “forgetting”, which involved a sense of momentary relief or bliss, a sense of “normalcy” and acceptance and/or a sense of relatedness, helped them to cope.Practical implicationsFor psychosocial care services to respond to adolescents’ mental health needs in an optimal way, the results suggest that activities and social support that are sufficiently adapted to individual needs should be the focal point in their daily lives.Originality/valueThe study offers insights into the needs of unaccompanied refugee adolescents in coping with the psychosocial challenges experienced in their daily lives.

%X Purpose>This study aims to focus on the avoidance and anxiety attachment patterns among unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) after resettlement in Norway. The authors explored the extent of stability and change in these attachment patterns and the role of demographic and interpersonal predictors of change in levels of attachment insecurity.Design/methodology/approach>Three waves of data were analyzed with latent growth curve modeling. The sample consisted of 918 refugees who had arrived in Norway as unaccompanied minor asylum seekers and were granted residence. Of the initial sample, 82% were male and the mean age was 18.6 years (SD = 2.61).Findings>Results revealed substantial stability in attachment patterns: anxiety patterns did not change over time, while avoidance patterns increased, but only marginally.Research limitations/implications>A large sample of URMs revealed rather stabile attachment patterns over time, underlining the need for social support that fosters their adjustment processes best. More research is needed to clarify the mechanism underlying the stability and change in attachment patterns and to understand better how these young people can be supported emotionally during their resettlement process in the absence of parental care.Social implications>Host societies could perhaps invest more in promoting successful and sustainable adult relationships for unaccompanied refugees approaching the age of 18 years. This may help them to cope better with acculturation stressors and negative past experiences and may thereby improve their future mental health and social relationships.Originality/value>Targeting competencies to develop and maintain close relationships may be particularly important for URM’s, because this may alleviate risks for mental health related to past and current stressors as well as loneliness. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the present study is the first to investigate stability and change in attachment insecurity among unaccompanied refugees.

%! Asylsøkerbarns rett til skole. Kartlegging av skoletilbudet til asylsøkerbarn
%M rayyan-298338034
%X Denne undersøkelsen er først og fremst rettet mot å gi et overblikk av hva slags skoletilbud asylsøkerbarn i skolepliktig alder får i Norge. Undersøkelsen fokuserer på fire overordnede forskningsspørsmål: Hvordan integreres asylsøkerbarn i norsk grunnskole Får asylsøkerbarn utdanning av likt omfang som øvrige elever i skolen På hvilken måte tilpasser skolene sitt tilbud til asylsøkerbarn Hva oppleves som svakheter ved skoletilbudet til asylsøkerbarn? Undersøkelsen baserer seg i hovedsak på to kategorier informanter: ansatte i skolen og ansatte ved asylmottak. Vi har gjennomført en undersøkelse blant ansatte i 36 ordinære statlige mottak, og ved 29 skoler. Vi har i tillegg foretatt 30 kvalitative intervjuer i løpet av denne undersøkelsen. Vi har blant annet intervjuet skoleledere, lærere, morsmålslærere, ansatte i Utlendingsdirektoratet, ansatte i fylker og kommuner. Denne undersøkelsen har på den ene siden vist at asylsøkerbarn i skolepliktig alder ikke venter lenge på å få plass i skolen. Asylmottakene og skolene er effektive og raske når det gjelder innmeldingsrutiner, og asylsøkerbarna får plass på skolen få uker etter ankomst i ordinære mottak. Asylsøkerbarn får som regel utdanning av likt omfang, når det gjelder antall timer og fag, som andre barna. Det store flertallet får tilpasset norskundervisning. På den andre siden ser det ut til at skoletilbudet har et forbedringspotensial. Dette gjelder først og fremst i forhold til bedre integrering av asylsøkerbarn i skolen og tilpasning av tilbudet til barnas behov. Her er det et særlig behov for å styrke den helhetlige språkopplæringen, inklusive morsmålsopplæringen og tospråklig opplæring. Altfor få skoler gir slik undervisning til asylsøkerbarn. De som får det til gir altfor få timer og ikke til alle språkgruppene, samtidig som kvaliteten på denne undervisningen ofte ikke er god nok.

%X Previous research findings suggest that insomnia could be related to decreased health status and that it could also be affected by traumatic life experiences, such as war. Good health is important for newly arrived refugees for an effective integration process. The aim of the present study is, therefore, to investigate the association between self-perceived health and sleep quality among newly arrived refugees in Sweden. The results are based on 681 migrants who participated in a survey between 2015 and 2016. There was a significant odds ratio (OR) after adjustment for confounders for newly arrived refugees that were experiencing bad self-perceived health to also experience bad sleep: OR 8.07 (4.34–15.00). Furthermore, the OR remained significant but lower after adjustments for confounders for newly arrived refugees that had bad self-perceived health to be suffering from anxiety during sleep, with OR 3.83 (2.11–6.94).

%X Pre- and post-migration related factors are likely to influence integration outcomes of migrants. This study aimed to investigate which pre-migration factors (basic education and potentially traumatic experiences) and post-migration wellbeing factors (quality of life and loneliness) are associated with integration outcomes (employment status, language skills, voting, media use, having host country's native friends, participation in leisure activities) of migrant background men and women. The Finnish Migrant Health and Wellbeing Study (Maamu) was used, including working-aged adults of Russian, Somali, and Kurdish origin. Each integration outcome was analysed by each predictive factor with logistic regression, separately for the three groups and separately for men and women. The integration outcomes were somewhat differently associated with pre- and post-migration factors in the different groups. All these aspects are important to be taken into account in integration discourse to promote both integration and social wellbeing.

%X This paper documents the economic performance of immigrants in a country characterized by an extensive welfare state and a short immigration history. Upon arrival, immigrants to Finland have substantially lower employment rates than comparable natives. While they experience rapid employment growth, only men from OECD countries catch up with natives. Despite the persisting employment and earnings differences between non-OECD immigrants and natives, the differences in income transfers disappear in roughly 20 years. The immigrant-native employment gaps are larger in Finland than in Australia, Canada, or the US. © The editors of the Scandinavian Journal of Economics 2011.

%X • Performance in lower secondary education are higher for migrants who arrive younger ages than their siblings arriving at older ages. • The age at migration effect is larger for those origin from countries with low net enrolment in education. • The difference in the age at migration effect is largest in mathematics. • In language intensive subjects, the impact of age at migration is substantial for all migrants. This paper studies the effect of migration age on school performance. We exploit that siblings have different migration age, but share the same family background to identify the effect of migration age on educational attainment in lower secondary education in Norway. We estimate a separate effect for migrants from countries with low access to a high quality school system. We find negative effects of migration age on exam results, and larger effects for migrants from countries with low school access. Language intensive subjects are substantially affected for all migrants, while there are differences according to school access for mathematics performance.

%X This paper discusses the question of whether or not the high incidence of poverty among immigrants in Norway persists even after immigrants have been in the country for a long period, i.e. after they have had the opportunity to integrate and adapt their skills to the expectations in their new home. While similar to traditional studies of wage assimilation, a study of assimilation in relation to poverty propensity nevertheless measures something different than labor market assimilation, and this represents the main innovation of this study. Analysis of assimilation with respect to poverty focuses on welfare for the lower end of the income distribution and for all individuals, regardless of their relationship with the labor market. It can therefore be seen to better reflect the degree to which immigrants as a whole are able to achieve at least the minimum necessary to participate in the life of their new home and avoid difficulties later on.

%X This article analyses assimilation and social assistance participation among immigrants in Sweden. Probit regressions are used in order to estimate the participation rates in social assistance among different groups of immigrants and native-born Swedes. The analysis is based upon panel data since the same individuals have been tracked in different years. The results show that among immigrants from the Nordic countries and from Western societies the participation rates are about the same as among comparable native-born Swedes. Immigrants from South European and non-European countries are over-represented in welfare usage. This over-representation remains even after controlling for differences in observable characteristics such as age, gender, family situation and educational attainment. Non-European immigrants assimilate out of welfare dependency at a faster rate than European immigrants, but despite this, non-European immigrants are over-represented in social assistance utilisation even after 20-25 years of residence in Sweden. © 2008 The Author(s) Journal compilation © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the International Journal of Social Welfare.

%X When discussing barriers to integration, we often focus on language skills, cultural capital, supportive environments and other more obvious, distinct and material aspects that have an impact on educational achievement. In the present study, we have instead chosen to look at how young immigrants construct their life plans, and how this relates to their perceptions of ethnicity, neighbourhood and identity. The sample used here consists of a total of 10 individuals. The interviews were used to explore certain designated dimensions and processes. All interviews were conducted in the school environment, in classrooms and other locations within the school. The students attended two different vocationally oriented study programmes: one focused on health promotion, the other on pre-school children. A narrative—sociological approach is used in the analysis. The young people’s perceptions and narratives are analysed in relation to concepts such as: territorial stigmatization, identity, inclusion/exclusion and life plans. The key finding is that these young people try to adapt to certain normative expectations connected to the notion of Swedishness. Being ‘in sync’ with this normative conception leads to self-confidence, whereas being ‘out-of-sync’ leads to low self-esteem.

%X Refugee children and young people are living a life in transition: they have been forced to leave their countries due to war, poverty or political persecution in order to seek protection and new life options in Denmark. This article argues that museums have opportunities to help the process of integration that has been mostly overlooked. In the Travelling with Art program for young refugees at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, our goal is to create good experiences for refugee students by developing methods that invite them to express themselves through art as a way to share their thoughts and feelings. Bridgebuilding in the form of intercultural workshops between Danish and refugee youth is another recent, but important aspect that we believe can help the students to create networks, and thereby help their integration process. Of course, this raises questions - such as how to balance the expressive element in such a way that the children are invited to express themselves without risking getting close to feelings that are traumatic. Or whether it makes sense to build bridges between Danes and young refugees who will perhaps not even stay in Denmark.

%X In immigrant-receiving countries, immigrants are often concentrated in residential neighbourhoods with high concentrations of immigrants. In addition, they are concentrated in workplaces with high concentrations of immigrants. Many researchers have assumed that these are two sides of the same coin, so that policy affecting residential segregation could be expected to influence workplace segregation. Using Swedish register data for 2007, we directly assess whether immigrants who live in residential neighbourhoods concentrated with immigrants also work in firms concentrated with immigrants. We find that there is very little correlation between residential and workplace segregation, suggesting that policy could profitably target both types of segregation separately.

%X Differences in immigrant economic trajectories have been attributed to a wide variety of factors. One of these is the local spatial context where immigrants reside. This spatial context assumes special salience in light of expanding public exposure to and scholarly interest in the potential impacts of spatial concentrations of immigrants. A crucial question is whether immigrants' opportunities are influenced by their neighbours. In this paper we contribute statistical evidence relevant to answering this vital question. We develop multiple measures of the spatial context in which immigrants reside and assess their contribution to the average earnings of immigrant individuals in the three large Swedish metropolitan areas, controlling for individual and regional labour-market characteristics. We use unusually rich longitudinal information about Swedish immigrants during the 1995-2002 period. We find evidence that immigrant men and women paid a substantial penalty during 1999-2002 if in 1999 they resided in areas where a substantial number of their neighbours were members of the same ethnic group. The evidence suggests that own-group concentrations can initially pay dividends for immigrants, but these benefits quickly turn into net disadvantages over time.

%X The number of persons in Sweden with subsidized jobs has grown. At the same time, the share of foreign-born with subsidized jobs has increased, while the share of disabled has declined. The subsidized jobs are most common in the retail, restaurant, cleaning and staffing sectors. The present study investigates all new subsidized jobs in 2016 in these sectors in Helsingborg. The study found clear signs of ethnic segmentation as a significant share of foreign-born persons with subsidized jobs had employers with a foreign background, while the domestic-born (including almost all disabled) usually had native employers. Most subsidized jobs provided by employers with a foreign background were in small firms without collective agreements. A conclusion is that subsidized jobs risk reinforcing the ethnic labour market segmentation.
Antalet subventionerade jobb har växt samtidigt som andelen utrikes födda bidragsanställda ökat och andelen funktionsnedsatta minskat. Anställningsbidragen är särskilt frekventa i handels-, restaurang-, städ- och bemanningsbranscherna. I föreliggande studie har samtliga nya anställningsbidrag 2016 i de fyra branscherna i Helsingborg undersökts. En tydlig etnisk segmentering påvisas genom att en betydande del av utrikes födda med subventionerade jobb finns hos arbetsgivare med utrikes bakgrund, medan inrikes födda (inklusive nästan alla funktionsnedsatta) vanligen finns hos arbetsgivare med inrikes bakgrund. De flesta bidragsanställda hos arbetsgivarna med utrikes bakgrund finns i mindre företag utan kollektivavtal. En slutsats är att anställningsbidragen riskerar förstärka den etniska segmenteringen på arbetsmarknaden.

%X Women vote less than men in many parts of the world. Whether this gender gap is due to cultural preferences stemming from traditional gender norms or to structural constraints is hard to answer because preferences and beliefs are endogenous to the socioeconomic and institutional environment. To address this problem, we use the so-called epidemiological approach. This approach exploits the portability of culture as a source of identification, by comparing migrants from different cultures of origin but living in similar institutional environments. We study the gender patterns in turnout of immigrants and their children in Norway using administrative register data on voter turnout. We find that gender traditionalism at country of origin is significantly correlated with the gender gap in the first generation, but has no effect in the second generation. Together, our results suggest that early institutional exposure is important for political assimilation.

%X Upon the arrival of unprecedented number of Syrian refugees to Denmark in 2015, the government exerted its full power in order to put a stop to this flow. It signed the EU-Turkey agreement, imposed border control and enacted numerous restrictions on the Alien Act sending a blatant message: Do not come to Denmark, we need to cope up with the numbers we have received , while, at the same time, the government has demanded its new residents—refugees and migrants—to live up to its ultimate requirements where they should demonstrate and act as full citizens, while they are denizens. This article investigates Syrian refugees' responses to this ambivalence: act as a citizen while you are not a citizen ! It employs theoretical notions of citizenship such as Per Mouritsen's approach to citizenship by stressing the integration of its three components: equality, membership and participation supplemented by supporting theoretical concepts such as racialized citizenship and cultural citizenship.

%X This qualitative study combined the approaches of Foucault and Goffman to investigate the consequences of a "roll-out" neoliberal "activation" programme on Denmark's reception of asylum-seekers. The analysis found that the activation programme is an ambiguous technology of power intended to shape asylum-seekers into productive citizens by simultaneously disciplining them and improving their health and well-being, while using their labour to reduce costs. The strategic interactions in the job centre reflected the ambiguities created by these oft-incongruent aims, and activation caused conflicts as it amplified activities experienced as meaningless and humiliating. I argue that these consequences stem from the ambiguity, uncertainty, and trouble produced at the intersection of competing projects of rule in a "sensitive space", and that the individualisation of responsibility for their own marginalisation, simultaneously serve to exclude asylum-seekers and to confine them to categories that license continued institutional discipline. Thereby, the intervention feeds cyclical process of failed integration and ill-fated interventions. Indeed, by individualising the responsibility for integration, such interventions depoliticise the marginalisation of citizens of immigrant decent and legitimise efforts to reduce immigration by fuelling problematisations of immigrants as expensive, deviant, and less employable.

%X Past Swedish research has shown that immigrants arriving in the receiving country at an older age are less likely to commit crime than immigrants arriving at a younger age. Segmented assimilation theory argues that the family and neighborhood may be important factors affecting how age at immigration and crime are related to one another. This study used population-based register data on foreign-background males from Stockholm to test the effect of age at immigration on crime. Potential confounding from the family and neighborhood was addressed using variables and modeling strategies. Initial results, using variables to control for confounding, showed that people who immigrated around age 4 were the most likely to be suspected of a crime. When controlling for unmeasured family characteristics, it seemed that a later age at immigration was tied to a lower likelihood of crime, which does not corroborate past research findings. The effect of age at immigration, however, was not statistically significant. The results imply that future research on entire families may be a worthwhile endeavor.

%X This study examines the causal relationship between childhood immigrants' age at arrival and their life chances as adults. I analyze panel data on siblings from Norwegian administrative registries, which enables me to disentangle the effect of age at arrival on adult socioeconomic outcomes from all fixed family-level conditions and endowments shared by siblings. Results from sibling fixed-effects models reveal a progressively stronger adverse influence of immigration at later stages of childhood on completed education, employment, adult earnings, occupational attainment, and social welfare assistance. The persistence of these relationships within families indicates that experiences related to the timing of childhood immigration have causal effects on later-life outcomes. These age-at-arrival effects are considerably stronger among children who arrive from geographically distant and economically less-developed origin regions than among children originating from developed countries. The age-at-arrival effects vary less by parental education and child gender. On the whole, the findings indicate that childhood immigration after an early-life formative period tends to constrain later human capital formation and economic opportunities over the life course.

%X This book employs men’s football as a lens through which to investigate questions relating to immigration, racism, integration and national identity in present-day Sweden. Specifically, this study explores if professional football serves as a successful model of multiracialism/multiculturalism for the rest of Swedish society to emulate, and further asks whether the amateur game acts as an avenue of integration for members of the country’s non-Nordic immigrant communities. This work additionally examines both overt and more hidden institutional forms of racism in Swedish football, paying special attention to the experiences of African (and other black) footballers at all levels of the sport. All of these subjects are, in turn, considered in a broader, comparative, West European context. © Carl- Gustaf Scott, 2015.

%X There is a lack of knowledge concerning how unaccompanied refugee minors (UMs) perceive integration. This study concerns how Afghan UMs in Sweden understand integration. Seven young men, age 18–23, who came to Sweden as UMs, participated in semi-structured interviews, analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results showed that integration was understood as a process in which relationships, connectedness, and concrete support are fundamental. Education, employment, and leisure activities were important for integration. Integration also improved by contributing to the new country, for example, through paying taxes or voluntary work. We discuss how integration could be supported, for example, through making UMs co-creators of interventions and through acknowledging the importance of meaningful activities, relationships, and concrete support.

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 45, 15–25. Using a questionnaire survey, this study compared psychological adaptation (self-esteem, life satisfaction, and mental health problems) of Turkish adolescents in Norway and Sweden, and examined to what extent ethnic and majority identities, acculturation strategies, and perceived discrimination accounted for adaptation among Turkish adolescents. The samples consisted of 407 Turks (111 in Norway and 296 in Sweden) with a mean age of 15.2 years and 433 host adolescents (207 in Norway, 226 in Sweden) with a mean age of 15.6 years. Turks in Norway reported poorer psychological adaptation than Turks in Sweden. Predictors of good adaptation were Turkish identity and integration, whereas poor adaptation was related to marginalization and perceived discrimination. The results indicated that the poorer adaptation of Turks in Norway compared to that of Turks in Sweden could be due to lower degree of Turkish identity and higher degree of perceived discrimination.

%X Using data sets from both Sweden and Finland, which have been linked at the individual level, we analyse whether Finnish immigrants who lived in Sweden in 1990 were employed, non-employed, return-migrated, or dead by 2001. The aim is to see how they interrelate with socio-demographic characteristics, and to compare Finnish-speaking and Swedish-speaking immigrants in this respect. Multinomial logistic regression models reveal that there is great variation in the level of outcomes between the two language groups, but that the interrelation between socio-demographic factors and each outcome is fairly similar across outcomes and across language groups. It is foremost the Finnish-speaking male immigrants who experience problems, having on average two times higher odds of being either non-employed, return-migrated, or death, as compared with Swedish-speaking male immigrants. Social disadvantage may consequently not only take the form of poor labour market position, but also return-migration and death. The paper illustrates the need for separating subgroups of immigrants when one is interested in integrational success. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2006.

%X How immigrants and their descendants adapt to the dual earner family model of Scandinavian welfare states is a topic of considerable interest. While earlier studies have addressed this issue in terms of economic integration, expanding our understanding of how cultural adaptation underpins these processes is vital. This study aims to identify patterns and dynamics shaping attitudes towards mothers' employment in Norway. The analysis draws on a survey including immigrants from Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Vietnam, as well as descendants of Pakistani immigrants and a Norwegian control group. Survey data are linked with public register data. The analysis suggests both cultural persistence and adaptation; among immigrants, country of origin is a strong predictor of attitudes, whereas years of residence in the host country is of limited importance. While I find little evidence of a gradual process of adaptation over time, the analysis shows that both economic and linguistic integration is related to more positive attitudes to mothers' employment. Pakistani descendants express stronger support for mothers' employment than immigrants from Pakistan. Although Pakistani descendants are still less supportive of mothers' employment compared to the Norwegian control group, this suggest a significant degree of adaptation from one generation to the next. © 2014, Taylor & Francis.

%X Ethnic acculturation in a sample of 19-year-old individuals of Yugoslavian and Iranian origin in contemporary Sweden was studied, with a focus on how acculturation is contingent on social structure and social context. Acculturation was measured as orientation to the majority and the parental culture of origin. The results suggest, first, that the two dimensions are weakly but positively correlated, meaning that acculturation identity does not involve any trade-offs, as new strands of oppositional culture theory suggest. Second, it was found that ethnic closure in friendship networks is positively associated with orientations to parents' culture and negatively with orientations to Swedish culture. Individuals with a rich occupational social contact network tended to be orientated towards both the majority and the parental culture. There was a marked social difference between the most disadvantaged social class and all other classes, with the former being less oriented to both cultures compared to more advantaged classes.

%X This study investigated the effects of acculturation on the psychological well-being of immigrant adolescents. The respondents were 11 to 20 years old, originally from the former Soviet Union, Turkey, Somalia, and Vietnam, and now living in Finland (N = 588). To gain an understanding of the complexity and specificity of the relationship between acculturation and psychological well-being, a large range of existing psychological well-being scales measuring acculturative stress, behavioral problems, self-esteem, life satisfaction, and sense of mastery were used as dependent variables. Most indices of psychological well-being were clearly and negatively related to perceived discrimination, and some of them were also positively related to second-language proficiency. In addition, the adolescents' experiences of parental support and adherence to traditional family-related values promoted their psychological well-being. However, the impact of this adherence was found to depend on both the specific aspect of well-being measured and the specific family-related values in question.

%X The present study explores the process of cultural and psychological change that follows intercultural contact (i.e., acculturation) and the wellbeing and social adjustment of 736 Turkish immigrant adolescents aged 13—18 living in six countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. Perceived discrimination was the strongest negative predictor of their adaptation outcomes, whereas a combined orientation to the ethnic culture and the national culture was conducive to adaptation. One's country of origin clearly had an impact on the acculturation orientations of the immigrant and on his/her perceived discrimination. The actual cultural diversity characteristic of countries is indicative of a broad context in which the impact of acculturation experiences on adaptation outcomes is invigorated or weakened. Practical implications are discussed.

%X Background: Little is known about how disease co-occurrences with common mental disorders (CMD) associate with social integration in young refugees. We identify diagnostic groups associated with labor market marginalization (LMM) in refugees and Swedish-born with CMD and determine whether multimorbidity is associated with LMM in young refugees and Swedish-born with CMD. Methods: This longitudinal registry-based study included adults aged 20- 25 years followed from 2011-2016 in Sweden. LMM was defined as > 180 days unemployment or being granted disability pension. A multimorbidity score was derived from a network of disease co-occurrences observed in 2009-2011. Relative risks for LMM in refugees with CMD compared to Swedish-born with CMD in 114 diagnostic groups were calculated. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to estimate the odds of LMM by CMD. Results: Among 249,245 young adults, 2,841 (1.1%) were granted disability pension and 16,323 (6.5%) individuals experienced unemployment, 20,679 (8.3%) suffered from CMD. Most comorbid diagnostic groups were positively associated with unemployment in young refugees with CMD. Inflammatory bowel disease and acute upper respiratory disease showed the highest relative risks of unemployment for young refugees with CMD, compared to Swedish-born with CMD: RRs 6.4[3.2, 12.8], 4.0[2.6, 6.1], respectively. The multimorbidity score was associated with elevated odds for unemployment and granted disability pension in refugees with/without CMD and Swedish born with/without CMD (OR range: 1.1-1.8; highest for young refugees without CMD). Conclusions: Specific diagnostic group had differential risks for unemployment for refugees and Swedish-born. Early culturally sensitive public health measures are warranted to target the detrimental consequences of multimorbidity on LMM in young adults. Key messages: The importance of diagnostic groups for LMM differs for young refugees and Swedish-born with CMD. Multimorbidity increases the risk for LMM, particularly disability pension.
