About me

I am a social worker with a master's degree in social work, currently employed as a doctoral student at the Department of Social Work. Previously, I worked as a social worker, primarily focused on issues related to over-indebtedness and financial counselling. My research interests revolve around poverty, inequality, social exclusion, and housing. My dissertation project focuses on forced move-outs from housing and is primarily based on registry studies.

  • Factors associated with self-initiated moves during the formal eviction process

    2024. Ida Nilsson. British Journal of Social Work

    Article

    Housing eviction is a common occurrence, affecting hundreds of thousands of Europeans annually. It is well known that it primarily impacts the most vulnerable groups in society and is associated with adverse outcomes. However, previous research heavily relies on enforced removals registered in official statistics, thus missing eviction outcomes that do not undergo or disrupt the formal eviction process. This exploratory study, based on unique national Swedish register data on evictions with a sample of over 60,000 individuals, examines self-initiated moves and contrasts them with enforced removals and lease regain. Results form univariable and multivariable multinomial logistic regression analyses indicate that economic hardship and livng in a single household are associated with both self-initiated moves and enforced removals. However, distinct factors associated with self-initiated moves are aged under twenty-five, living as a couple with children, residing in a non-metropolitan municipality, and having a native background. Gender-stratified analysis highlights strong associations for young women and native-background women with self-initiated moves. The results underscore the significance of implementing preventive social services interventions that adress the specific needs of this larger group of individuals who face evictions under a broader definition. Further implications for research, policy, and social work practice are discussed.
