“…Levels of residential segregation have been consistently high in Sweden during the last decades. Studies have found that income-based segregation has increased, while ethnic segregation has remained stable or even slightly decreased (Amcoff et al, 2014;Andersson & K€ ahrik, 2016;Andersson & Turner, 2014;Andersson et al, 2018;Malmberg et al, 2018;Niedomsyl et al, 2015;Nielsen & Hennerdal, 2017). Although ethnic and socioeconomic segregation cannot be equated, they tend to correspond, as socioeconomically deprived areas are also likely to have a high concentration of foreign-born individuals (Biterman, 2010).…”

Migrants’ long-term residential trajectories in Sweden: persistent neighbourhood deprivation or spatial assimilation?

Despite time being a key element in the theories on international migrants' socio-spatial mobility, it has not been sufficiently addressed in empirical research. Most studies focus on discrete transitions between different types of neighbourhoods, potentially missing theoretically important temporal aspects. This article uses sequence analysis to study the residential trajectories of international migrants in Sweden emphasising the timing, order, and duration of residence in neighbourhoods with different poverty levels. It follows individuals of the 2003 arrival cohort during their first 9 years in the country. Results show that 81% of migrants consistently reside in the same type of neighbourhood; 60% consistently live in a deprived area and mere 12% follow a trajectories starting at deprived and ending at middle-income or affluent neighbourhoods. Thus, spatial assimilation is neither the only nor the most frequent trajectory followed by migrants in Sweden. Lastly, there are persistent differences in neighbourhood attainment between immigrant groups, suggesting either place stratification or ethnic preference.

“…Andersson and Magnusson Turner (2014) argue that peripheral areas become poorer in relative terms when low-income earners are pushed out of gentrified central areas, but processes of low-income filtering and gentrification have been underway for a long period of time (Hedin et al 2012(Hedin et al , covering 1986(Hedin et al -2001. The increased economic segregation has also affected patterns of ethnic segregation, with the segregation between non-western, foreign-born persons and Swedish-born persons within the same income bracket having declined over time (Andersson and Kährik 2015), but when measured for the total population, ethnic segregation has remained fairly stable (Nielsen and Hennerdal 2017).…”

The central themes of this study are how housing tenure affects moving away from neighbourhoods with differing degrees of immigrant concentration in Stockholm and, comparing two cohorts, how the relationship between housing tenure, ethnic background and residential mobility develops over time. The findings reveal that the effect of housing tenure on moving varies marginally between neighbourhood types, and differences between housing tenures are reduced over time. Residential mobility is increasingly associated with higher income levels and members of the non-western, foreign-born group are less likely to move when the housing market is increasingly owner dominated. These ethnic hierarchies also apply to residential sorting. The sorting of outmovers from neighbourhoods with high concentrations of immigrants is increasingly affected by income. However, the non-western, foreignborn group is also increasingly dependent on housing assets in order to leave immigrant-dense neighbourhoods, which is not the case for other groups. The results show a shift in the necessary resources for residential mobility trajectories for those at the bottom end of the ethnic hierarchy and indicate that the place-stratification framework needs to differentiate between different types of assets and population groups to enable a better understanding of residential sorting in a changing housing market.

“…The municipal-level cultural diversity variable also varies over space and reflects the potential for firms to hire individuals not born in Sweden. Typically, the cultural diversity measure is higher in metropolitan and larger cities than in rural areas (Bråmå, 2006;Nielsen & Hennerdal, 2017).…”

We analyze the influence that the diversity of individuals, both within a firm and in the region where the firm is located, has on firm survival. We estimate a hazard model using microdata for Swedish firms for the years 2002–2013. Results show that firm‐specific diversity in education, age, and gender are positively associated with firm survival. However, firm‐specific diversity by place of origin is negatively associated with firm survival. Yet the cultural diversity among the inhabitants in the region where the firm is located enhances firm survival. Magnitudes of the effects vary by region and industrial sector.
