Between hope and obstacles : Refugees’ experiences of entering the Swedish labor market (literature review) (English)
Abstract [en]

In this qualitative scoping review we interpret refugees' experiences of entering the Swedish labor market through a thematic analysis of published research, focusing on opportunities and challenges they may face throughout the process. We examine nine articles describing qualitative studies carried out in Sweden in which refugees are interviewed on their experiences. Resilience and motivation among refugees are common factors as they try to adjust to a new society. Despite governmental interventions such as the Swedish integration programme the findings indicate that the integration process in the labor market is complex. Refugees face significant barriers such as: a lack of individualized support; a lack of recognition of earlier qualifications; discrimination and structural barriers. The findings from this study deepen our understanding of refugees’ integration process while also highlighting the importance of individualized and tailored support that is aligned with the refugees’ needs.

Abstract [sv]

I denna kvalitativa litteraturöversikt tolkar vi flyktingars upplevelser av inträdet på den svenska arbetsmarknaden genom en tematisk analys av empiriska studier, med fokus påde möjligheter och utmaningar de kan möta under processen. Vi undersöker nio artiklar publicerade i Sverige, där flyktingar har intervjuats om deras upplevelser. Resiliens och motivation bland flyktingar är förekommande faktorer när de försöker anpassa sig till ett nytt samhälle. Trots statliga insatser så som det svenska etableringsprogrammet visar resultaten på att integrationsprocessen på arbetsmarknaden är komplex där flyktingarna möter betydande hinder som brist på individuellt stöd; avsaknad av erkännande av tidigare kvalifikationer; diskriminering samt strukturella hinder. Resultaten från denna studie fördjupar vår förståelse av flyktingars integrationsprocess samtidigt som de belyser vikten av individanpassat och skräddarsytt stöd som är i linje med flyktingars behov.
