“…One Swedish study shows that not only is there a difference in the employment integration between refugees and family reunion migrants, but variation also exists between subcategories of refugees ( Figure 1 and Figure 2) [2]. These differences may be a product of integration policies that vary by entry category.…”

“…Compared to other immigrant categories, refugees generally have lower employment rates, especially when measured shortly after arriving in the host country. However, over time, refugee immigrants "catch up" and show similar employment levels as other non-economic immigrant categories [1], [2], [3], but still exhibit lower levels when compared to economic (labor) migrants [4]. Moreover, the income trajectories for refugees appear similar to other non-economic immigrant categories [5], [4].…”

“…By contrast, asylum refugees often have personal resources, like social networks and financial means, which enable them to settle where job prospects are more promising. Family reunion immigrants are likely to draw on the networks acquired by family and friends who have already settled in the country, thereby improving their employment chances [2].…”

“…A number of explanations for this employment gap have been suggested (e.g. Bevelander 2000;Bevelander 2011;Bevelander & Pendakur 2009;Bethoui 2006;Carlsson & Rooth 2007;Dahlstedt & Bevelander 2010;Nekby et al 2008;Rooth 1999;Åslund & Rooth 2007;Scott 1999).…”

The main focus of the article is whether immigrants' descendants have the same occupational mismatch as immigrants, or whether their experiences reflect those of the population with Swedish-born parents. Register data for the entire population of Sweden for the year 2007 is used for a multivariate analysis. All employed individuals aged between 25 and 64 have been selected. The main results show that the descendant generation has lower levels of mismatch compared to the immigrant generation: the male descendant population shows higher odds of being over-educated, whereas the female descendant population does not significantly differ in this from Swedish-born individuals with two Swedish-born parents.

“…Foreign-born women showed an increased employment rate over time, although this was not in parity with the increase observed for native-born women. It seems clear that the deep economic recession of the early 1990ies widened the gap between natives and immigrants even further, whereas the economic recovery of the late nineties seems to have served to reverse the negative development to some extent (Bevelander, 2010).…”
