Immigrant Organizations and Labor Market Integration: The Case of Sweden

Summary, in English

In line with recent trends in sociology of migration, the paper presents major
research findings on Swedish immigrant organizations (SIOs) and their labor market
integration activities. Analyses of engagement in these activities are particularly
important as Sweden wrestles with significant problems of labor market marginalization, particularly among non-European migrants. Drawing on official data
and interviews, we find surprisingly low incidence in direct labor market support
but quite active indirect support. Our regression model shows significant correlation
between region of origin and labor market activities, and further analyses using
regional typologies indicate that SIOs’ activities are partly driven by members’ different modes of incorporation and relative integration, where Middle-Eastern SIOs
stand out as particularly active. Our findings further indicate potential for scale-up
of SIO-assistance in the Swedish Government’s efforts towards increased immigrant
labor market integration.
