Why do some young people aim higher than expected – and what does it mean for their future? Migrant background youth often choose more ambitious secondary tracks than their peers with similar grades. This project explores the long-term consequences of these choices, the social forces that shape them, and how the journey towards realising them is experienced.

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 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.

How can the reception of newly arrived young people in different municipalities be successfully organized to provide better opportunities to complete their education and the transition to upper secondary school? That is the main question that the researchers in the project want to find answers to.

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

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.
