The Integration Challenge

"The Integration Challenge: Discrimination Against Immigrants in Sweden's Open Economy" tackles the paradox of Sweden's welcoming economic system and the struggles faced by immigrants. It explores how discrimination, despite anti-bias laws, hinders immigrant integration into the job market and society. The book delves into the challenges immigrants face, like language barriers, lack of recognition of foreign qualifications, and social network exclusion. It analyzes potential reasons for discrimination, including unconscious bias and employer preference for local experience. "The Integration Challenge" offers potential solutions for a more inclusive Sweden. It examines policy changes, anti-discrimination measures, and integration programs that bridge the gap between immigrants' skills and employment opportunities.
