Abstract [en]

Abstract: My master project is a historical and comparative analysis of two integration processes into the Swedish labour market: for women and for immigrants. Whereas the first case of female integration is generally seen assuccessful in its implementation and outcomes, the results of the decades of integration policies regards immigrantintegration have, in contrast, been seen as flawed. To understand this puzzle, of why one attempt at labour marketintegration generally has been successful, and the second one failed, I’ve devised my study as a historical-sociological policy comparison, with the intention to study the development and implementation of the twointegration processes as well as analysing the outcomes of these strategies on the labour market. Throughanalysing two historical streams of Swedish government reports, on gender relations and immigration, I tracehistorical arguments, institutional struggles, and policy directives from the 1960s and onwards. My analysis showsthat the immigrant integration has until the 21st century been dragged in two different directions with thegovernment promoting multiculturalism and the labour market parties wanting the immigrants to assimilate andgain country specific skills. The gender mainstreaming on the other hand have been a much more accepted strategyamongst all the involved actors in the society, which have created better premises for a positive integrationdevelopment.
