Research shows that an increasing segregation has created a tangible inequality between different municipalities and individual schools. Where children and young people live and which school they attend has become of decisive importance for the possibility of reaching the knowledge requirements and continuing their studies.

This research project aims to examine how Vocational and Educational Training responded to the structural changes in the labour market and the role it played in the inclusion of immigrants in Sweden from the 1950:s to 2020.

The school in Sweden is supposed to be equal, but where children and young people live and which school they attend has become of decisive importance for their opportunities to reach the national knowledge requirements. Two schools that break this pattern piqued the researchers' curiosity.

This project examines how high achieving students decode school practices and embark on a successful educational career. The project aims to capture the mechanisms and factors that contributed the academic success of 52 students from households with high or low educational background, with parents with migrant or of non-migrant background.

The aim of this project is to examine young adults’ educational and life careers in areas that are perceived as culturally and economically disadvantaged and how their educational and life careers can be enhanced.

Strong motivation, agency, language skills and supporting social networks, these are key factors for successful integration and migrants' access to their previous vocation in Sweden. In the study 20 skilled migrants and five employers’ representatives were interviewed.

Residential segregation in combination with school choice polices has lead to increased school segregation, and this is no longer solely an urban phenomenon.
