Det var en gång

Hösten 2008 satte jag ihop ett forskningsprojekt om vidarebosatta flyktingars arbetsmarknadsintegration i Sverige. Strax därpå fick jag ett nytt arbete, men mina fd. kollegor på MIM, Malmö Högskola lyckades föra projektet i hamn utan mig. Det blev inte riktigt som jag hade tänkt, men bra ändå.

Rapporten som sätter punkt för projektet finns nu att ladda ner via MIM:s hemsida.

Sweden has resettled refugees in partnership with the UNHCR since 1950 and it is one of the countries that receives the largest number of resettled refugees every year. Despite this fact, our knowledge of the labour market integration of this particular category of refugees has been limited. This volume is an outcome of the project Labour Market Integration of Resettled Refugees in Sweden. It includes a mapping of the labour market integration of resettled refugees in Sweden and it covers different facets of the reception and integration of this group such as the institutional framework, the integration of resettled refugees from Bosnia and Vietnam, resettlement policy and its consequences, the health of refugees in the reception process, and the effects of admission status on immigrants’ access to the labour market. In addition, this book contains a more general chapter on resettlement in Canada to provide some contrast to the Swedish case.
