Hospitalisation for depressive disorder following unemployment—differentials by gender and immigrant status
BACKGROUND: The association between unemployment and poor mental health in general is explained by both causation and selection. The aim was to study whether experiencing unemployment was a risk factor for hospitalisation for depressive disorder specifically, and whether gender and immigrant status modified the hypothesised risk. METHODS: A register-based prospective cohort study, 2000-2006, of persons aged 18-64 with a strong connection to the S…
Immigrants in the Old‐Age Pension System
The article investigates incomes and especially state pensions 2008 among elderly immigrants who arrived in Sweden before 1970. At age 70 and above, the level of state old‐age pension for immigrant men was nearly the same and for immigrant women somewhat higher than for natives with similar characteristics. At age 65–66 the state pension was lower for immigrants than for their native counterparts. The differences in pensions for immigrants of dif…

Unemployment compensation and the use of social assistance among second‐generation immigrants in Sweden
Previous studies have shown that the participation of first‐generation immigrants in the Swedish income security system deviates from that of the native population. However, so far there has been no research that has focused on this issue where second‐generation immigrants are concerned. This study shows that the rates of participation in different parts of the income security system vary considerably between different groups of second‐generation…

Labour Market Career among Young Finnish Immigrants in Sweden
The conditions for young immigrants in the Swedish labour market have been widely discussed in recent years. One hypothesis put forward is that young immigrants tend to remain in jobs with low wages, high risks of unemployment and bad working environments, and their mobility out of such jobs is low.... Because composition of the immigrant group, through immigration and re-emigration, changes over time, the use of longitudinal studies is especiall…
