Naturalization in a Context of Free Mobility: Evidence from Cross-National Data on Finnish Immigrants in Sweden
Using unique longitudinal microdata linking administrative records from Sweden and Finland, we study how immigrant naturalization relates to cultural proximity. We analyze how Swedish citizenship acquisition depends on mother tongue by comparing Swedish-speaking and Finnish-speaking immigrants from Finland, who arrived in Sweden in 1988-2004, and contrast with other Nordic-born immigrants. We treat return migration and naturalization as two eleme…
Father’s Repeat Migration and Children’s Educational Performance
Repeat migration is a common, but unstudied, pattern of migration. This study examines the potential intergenerational consequences of this behavior. To investigate this, we estimate the effect of fathers’ repeat migration on their children’s grade point averages using population-level register data from Sweden. We find that the children of fathers who repeat migrate have a significantly lower grade point average, even after controlling for indiv…
Time and Generation: Parents’ Integration and Children’s School Performance in Sweden, 1989–2011
A central element of assimilation theory is that increasing time and number of previous immigrant generations in a host country leaves immigrants and their children more integrated and capable of navigating the host society. However, the underperformance of some immigrant groups in Sweden calls into question this relationship. Additionally, many studies regard intermarriage as an outcome of immigrant integration and rarely investigate whether int…
Mother Tongue, Host Country Earnings, and Return Migration: Evidence from Cross-National Administrative Records
Using a unique database constructed through the merging of administrative records from Sweden and Finland, we provide the first detailed examination of differential return migration risks by people's mother tongue within a given nationality. We analyze whether the divergence in return migration risk between Swedish-speaking and Finnish-speaking Finns in Sweden relates to host country earnings, considering that the former group are in parity with …
Parents' years in Sweden and children's educational performance
This paper assesses the intergenerational effect of immigrant parents' incorporation experiences, measured as time in Sweden, on the educational performance of their children, using full Swedish population registry data for 22 cohorts. Employing family fixed-effects, we examine final course grades and national standardized test scores in Swedish and math by parents' country of origin. Results show a positive effect of parents' time in Sweden on t…
Marriage and divorce of immigrants and descendants of immigrants in Sweden
Immigrants and their second-generation descendants make up more than a quarter of the current Swedish population. Their nuptiality patterns can be viewed as crucial indicators of their integration into Swedish society
Relative Deprivation and Sickness Absence in Sweden
Altering individual's health behavior through education appears more efficient in reducing the reliance on sickness absence, rather than redistributive policies
Intergenerational transmission of young motherhood. Evidence from Sweden, 1986–2009
This study examines the intergenerational transmission of fertility patterns from mothers who had their first birth at young ages to their daughters using nationally representative longitudinal data from from population registers in Sweden, 1986–2009. It tests several mechanisms, including education, labor market attachment, socio-economic background, and family characteristics, that may intervene with the intergenerational transmission of reprod…
Three generations in the New World: Labour market outcomes of Swedish Americans in the USA, 1880–2000
Roughly one million Swedes emigrated to the USA between 1870 and 1920. These emigrants gave rise to over four million individuals with a Swedish ancestry currently living in the USA. This study shows that Swedes have maintained the geographic concentrations chosen by their parents and grandparents. Also, Swedish migrants were on average less educated than the US-born white population, yet their descendants tended to be relatively better educated.…

Childbearing dynamics of couples in a universalistic welfare state: The role of labor-market status, country of origin, and gender
This article studies childbearing dynamics by labor-market status of co-residing parents in Sweden. We apply event-history techniques to longitudinal register data on the life histories of foreign-born mothers from ten different countries and the partn
The Times They Are A-Changin: Declining Immigrant Employment Opportunities in Scandinavia
This article compares and contrasts male immigrant labor market experiences in Sweden and Denmark during the period 1985–1995. Using register-based panel data sets from Sweden and Denmark, a picture of the employment assimilation process of immigrants from Norway, Poland, and Turkey is presented. The comparative approach shows that immigrants in Sweden and Denmark experienced similar declines in employment prospects between 1985 and 1995 despite …

Labour-market status and first-time parenthood: The experience of immigrant women in Sweden, 1981-97
This paper investigates the impact of labour-market attachment on first births of foreign-born women in Sweden. The study uses a longitudinal, register-based dataset consisting of the entire population of immigrants from ten nations and a 5-per-cent random sample of natives. The effects of earned income are evident, with increased income levels increasing the probability of becoming a mother for all observed nationalities. The effects of various …
