The social perspectives of energy communities in EU policy and research – a scoping review
The Clean Energy for All Europeans package, launched by the EU in 2019, provides a legal framework to guide the creation and management of energy communities (EC). According to the package, ECs are expected to aid a transition towards a renewable energy system by involving and empowering citizens, and thereby address issues such as poverty, social equity and “energy segregation”. In technical and economic terms, on the other hand, ECs are mainly …

Organizing Integration in the Swedish Labor and Housing Markets
Policies for refugees' settlement, housing, and employment are usually not formulated or analyzed in relation to each other. This study aims to address the dialectical relationship among settlement, housing, and labor market activation policies for refugees. To do this, we draw on Benson's (see Benson 1977; 1983) conceptualization of the dialectical perspective and its four interconnected principles (social construction/production, context, contr…
Swedish migration policy liberalization and new immigrant entrepreneurs
Sweden has allowed immigrants from any country to obtain residence permits for entrepreneurship since 2008. The aim of this study was to explore the outcome of this policy. The study adds time perspective and superdiversity and operationalizes the mixed embeddedness framework to facilitate a quantitative study on three levels of analysis. Detailed register data for two cohorts of immigrants—those who arrived four years before and those who arrive…

Design/methodology/approach This is a mixed-methods study, combining the qualitative interviews, scrutiny of relevant policy documents and statistical data of the Swedish population between 1992 and 2012. The analysis uses a mix…
Formal Education and New Openings For Self-Employment Amongst Foreign-Born Persons in the Swedish Healthcare Sector
This study contributes to the discussion on the value of education for self-employment among foreign-born persons in Sweden. Register-based data on all individuals in Sweden with an education in healthcare are used in the analysis. The overrepresentation of foreign-born persons amongst newly self-employed people is explained by what type of education they have, that is, a highly educated specialised occupation or educations at high and low levels…
The strength of ethnic ties
This study analyses whether ethnic segregation leads to social isolation and lack of access to valuable informal channels into the labour market. We use a survey of Swedish-born young adults in Stockholm, whose parents were born either in Turkey (Stratum T) or in Sweden (Stratum S). Stratum T was randomly sampled, whereas Stratum S was sampled according to the residential distribution of Stratum T. Our results show that persons in Stratum T use i…
Second-Generation Immigrants in the Small-Business Sector in Sweden
This study investigates the importance of co-ethnic employment for second-generation immigrants using data on the total population of Sweden. The analyses show that employment by parents comprises a substantial part of co-ethnic employment among young people. However, youth of Swedish origin in the small business sector are employed by parents to the same extent as second-generation immigrants. Furthermore, youth of Swedish origin are much more o…
Restaurant Work Experience as Stepping Stone to the Rest of Labour Market
The restaurant sector is expected to provide start-up jobs for young persons in the labour market in Sweden. This study uses data from the Swedish population and tax register, and follows the routes of employees in the sector from 2003 to 2008. The conclusion is that work experience in the restaurant sector can be considered an important stepping stone to other parts of the labour market. However, it is more common among individuals with foreign-…
University Education as a Compensation Strategy among Second-Generation Immigrants
The aim of this study is to determine whether immigrants and their children use a compensation strategy that involves achieving higher than expected education, given their parents’ level of education and income. The study uses data for all individuals in Sweden who finished elementary school from 1990 to 1992. Parents’ level of education and income is in general positively associated with higher odds of having university education. However, some …
Is the Neighbourhood Effect an Economic or an Immigrant Issue? A Study of the Importance of the Childhood Neighbourhood for Future Integration into the Labour Market
The purported effects of concentrations of immigrants and poverty within cities on inclusion in the labour market are intensively discussed among politicians and researchers. This study uses a multilevel approach to analyse a large longitudinal dataset in Stockholm. The results confirm previous research that concludes that only a small fraction of socioeconomic output can be considered to be a result of neighbourhood origin. Moreover, it is concl…
Rekommodifieringen av taxibranschen - förändring av ekonomiska förhållanden och etnisk sammansättning
I denna artikel analyseras de socio-ekonomiska konsekvenserna av den hastigt avreglerade taxibranschen. Det har blivit vanligare för utrikes födda att arbeta i taxibranschen, men de har inte blivit integrerade på samma villkor som de infödda kollegerna. Trots att de utrikes födda är högre utbildade, har de lägre inkomst från taxibranschen än de infödda. Resultaten visar hur en bransch med försämrade arbetsvillkor kan erbjuda relativt attraktiva a…
On the Rise of the House of Rothschild and the Death of Anne Frank
Before 1933 Frankfurt was home to the second largest Jewish community in Germany after Berlin. After the Shoah, only a small Jewish remnant remained in Germany. Still, the city on the banks of the river Main remained the second largest Jewish community. This ‘tradition’ ended after 1991 with the immigration of Jews from the former Soviet Union and nowadays more Jews live in Munich than Frankfurt
