Organizing Labour Market Integration of Foreign-born Persons in the Gothenburg Metropolitan Area

Abstract

The overall purpose of this report is to review contemporary labour market integration initiatives targeting foreign-born persons (though not necessarily such persons only). The initiatives we list here are undertaken in the Gothenburg Metropolitan Area (“Storgöteborg”) in Sweden. The review contains a map revealing the diversity of such initiatives and a more detailed description of those initiatives that can be considered representative for three sectors: the private sector, the public sector and the third (nonprofit/ community/volunteer) sector. The report also aims at initiating a discussion about the existing and/or missing connections between various initiatives and activities, and the potential consequences thereof for different groups and individuals.
