Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Extensive research on educational participation and on labour market adaptation of immigrants from different regions, as well as on gender differences, has shown that children of immigrants are disadvantaged, particularly those who are visible (coloured) immigrants. Concerning gender, men with foreign background seems to have greater difficulties both in the educational system and on the labour market compared to women. The difficulties for children of immigrants remain also when differences in social class is taken into account. Education is in some studies perceived as a neutralising discrimination. However, people with foreign background, who have got a Swedish higher education degree, still face considerable difficulties in obtaining a matching job. Having responsibility for minors negatively biases job seekers on the labour market, particularly women. How the merged effects of ethnicity, gender and parenthood interact on school-to-work transitions remains to be studied. This paper analyses how people with a Swedish education are able to, or allowed to participate on the labour market. The study is expected to describe labour market situation for young adults with particular focus on: 1) white immigrants and (visible) coloured immigrants in relation to native Swedes; 2) men and women; and 3) influence of parental responsibilities on job opportunities for both natives and those with foreign background. Several factors that have explained some of the group differences in other studies will be kept under control, thus making it possible to more accurately determine which groups in society that are most exposed to discrimination. Theoretically, we apply an intersectional perspective, focusing on how different factors/variables interact and contribute to the construction of a variety of ethnic and social hierarchies.
