- Objectives. Previous research has demonstrated mortality differences between immigrants and natives living in Sweden. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of early life conditions in the country of birth and current socio-economic conditions in adult life in Sweden on cardiovascular, cancer, all other cause and total mortality among immigrants and natives in Sweden.Design. The cohort data concerning individual demographic characteristics and socio-economic conditions stems from the Swedish Longitudinal Immigrant Database (SLI), a register-based representative database, and consists of individuals from 11 countries of birth, born between 1921 and 1939, who were residents in Sweden between 1980 and 2001. The associations between current socio-economic conditions as well as infant mortality rates (IMR) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in the year and country of birth, and total, cardiovascular, cancer and ‘all other’ mortality in 1980–2001 were calculated by survival analysis using Cox proportional hazards regression to calculate hazard rate ratios.Results. The effects of current adult life socio-economic conditions in Sweden on mortality are both stronger and more straightforward than the effects of early life conditions in the sense that higher socio-economic status is significantly associated with lower mortality in all groups of diagnoses; however, we find associations between infant mortality rates (IMR) in the year and country of birth, and cancer mortality among men and women in the final model.Conclusions. Socioeconomic conditions in Sweden are more strongly associated with mortality than early life indicators IMR and GDP per capita in the year of birth in the country of origin. This finding has health policy and other policy implications.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Företag som drivs av personer med utländsk bakgrund har en viktig roll i det svenska näringslivet. De sysselsätter i dag omkring 200 000 människor.2008 fick Tillväxtverket i uppdrag av regeringen att ta fram och ansvara för ett nationellt program med fokus på företagare med utländsk bakgrund. Programmets övergripande mål är att främja den tillväxtpotential som finns hos den här kategorin företagare. Ett av programmets mål är att öka kunskapen om företagare med utländsk bakgrund. Som en del i kunskapsmålet har man publicerat antologin ”Möjligheternas marknad”.Under denna föreläsning får vi lyssna till fyra av författarna, och deras olika infallsvinklar på temat. Det blir också diskussionsstund med kommentarer från en praktiker/företagare.

Second-Generation Immigrants in the Small-Business Sector in Sweden
- 2014
-
In: Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies. - London : Informa UK Limited. - 1556-2948 .- 1556-2956. ; 12:3, s. 210-232
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study investigates the importance of co-ethnic employment for second-generation immigrants using data on the total population of Sweden. The analyses show that employment by parents comprises a substantial part of co-ethnic employment among young people. However, youth of Swedish origin in the small business sector are employed by parents to the same extent as second-generation immigrants. Furthermore, youth of Swedish origin are much more often employed by Swedish-born employers. Therefore, we argue that mobilization of family resources and social networks is not specific to immigrants in 'ethnic economies' but is rather part of a general small-business class strategy.
