Kommunen som upphandlare, entreprenör och arbetsgivare i arbetsmarknadsintegration av utrikesfödda
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att inkludera utrikesfödda på arbetsmarknaden är en nyckelutmaning för integrationen och samhällsutvecklingen. Under senare år har flera reformer initierats i syfte att stärka genomförandet av integrationspolitiken där en mångfald aktörer involverats i insatserna för arbetsmarknadsintegration, däribland kommuner och andra lokala organisationer. Lokala initiativ för arbetsmarknadsintegration står i centrum för forskningsprojektet, Förändrade roller, framväxande nätverk: kommuner som upphandlare, arbetsgivare och entreprenör i arbetsmarknadsintegration. Kännetecknande för dessa initiativ är att de tar form och utvecklas lokalt i samverkan mellan kommuner, andra offentliga organisationer, företag och ideella organisationer. Projektet fokuserar på kommunernas roller i skapandet och spridningen av lokala, innovativa initiativ för arbetsmarknadsintegration av utrikesfödda. I rapporten diskuterar författarna sina resultat halvvägs in i projektet. Rapporten ger möjlighet att under pågående forskningsprojekt dela preliminära resultat och skapa en diskuss-ionskanal för forskare och praktiker. Tre roller diskuteras i rapporten, 1) kommunen som upphandlare, 2) kommunen som arbetsgivare, och 3) kommunen som entrepre-nör. I alla dessa roller driver, stödjer, styr och organiserar kommuner integrationspolitiska insatser i samverkan med andra – företag, ideella organisationer och offentliga myndigheter. Hur det går till och vad det betyder för kommunerna och dess samverkansparter och för möjligheten att nå framgång i integrationsarbetet är frågor som diskuteras i texten.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines the challenges and opportunities for novel governance instruments for labour market inclusion of foreign-born citizens, developed by local governments in collaboration with non-profit civil society organisations in Sweden. It is informed by the case of the collaborative arrangements developed between the city of Gothenburg and work integration social enterprises (WISE). The article builds upon collaborative governance and innovation literature and focuses specifically on the first reserved public procurements for buying work training and other services from WISE. Our findings show how a tool that originates from a market governing mechanism can develop into a collaborative governance and innovation instrument. The design and implementation of the reserved procurements set in motion collaborative innovation through creation of collaborative spaces, joint ownership and empowerment, and by turning market governance mechanisms into collaborative governance. First, the 'looseness' and 'openness' of the governmental arrangements and collaboration spaces created by local actors enabled collaborative innovation. Second, the longstanding innovativeness and collaboration of WISE also played an important role in the development of this collaborative instrument. Third, the small scale of WISE and the larger scale of municipal contracts resulted in scaling up strategies that helped shape collaborative, rather than competitive, practices among WISE, as well as the implementation and diffusion of the innovation. We end the article by discussing the study's implications for collaborative governance and innovation between local governments and civil society.

- BACKGROUND: An association between dampness at home and respiratory conditions has been convincingly demonstrated in children. Fewer studies have been performed in adults, and data are lacking for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). With a prevalence of 10.9% in Europe, CRS imposes a significant burden on quality of life, as well as economy.OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to study CRS and other respiratory conditions in relation to dampness at home in a representative sample of adults.METHODS: The Swedish GA2 LEN questionnaire was answered by 26 577 adults (16-75 years) and included questions on respiratory symptoms, smoking, education and environmental exposure. CRS was defined according to the EP3 OS criteria. Dampness was defined as reporting water damage, floor dampness or visible moulds in the home during the last 12 months. The dampness score was ranked from 0 to 3, counting the number of signs of dampness reported.RESULTS: Dampness at home was reported by 11.3% and was independently related to respiratory conditions after adjustment for demographic and socio-economic factors and smoking: CRS odds ratio (OR) 1.71; allergic rhinitis OR 1.24; current asthma OR 1.21; wheeze OR 1.37; nocturnal dyspnoea OR 1.80; nocturnal coughing OR 1.34; and chronic bronchitis OR 1.64. The risk of CRS and most of the other respiratory conditions was further elevated in subjects reporting multiple signs of dampness.CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study demonstrated an independent association between dampness at home and CRS in adults. The high burden of this and the other respiratory conditions studied is a strong argument in favour of countering indoor dampness by improving building standards.

Alone at work: Isolation, competition and co-dependency in flexibilised retail

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous studies of flexibilisation through employer-controlled flexible scheduling and off-site isolated work have shown how such practices have detrimental effects on workers' wellbeing. This qualitative study, set in Swedish retail, adds to previous findings by showing how flexible scheduling practices that include irregular variation of work hours and headcount have consequences also for worker interaction in the workplace. Even on-site work can be experienced as isolating if workers are 'spread too thin' in efforts to reduce labour costs. Set in two different retail settings, the study demonstrates and discusses how inter-employee competition and co-dependency are created, respectively. The authors also discuss how the flexibilisation described in this study reduced possibilities for face-to-face meetings and communication between co-workers, between workers and managers, and between workers and union representatives. Finally, it is discussed how the kind of flexibilisation described in this study coincides with defeatism and barriers to collective voice as well as action.
