Abstract [en]

We examine the applicability of segregation and tipping points on the labor market of teachers to reconcile if higher levels of ethnic segregation in schools are responded to with labor movement. The main results derived from the research is that overall, there is no statistical significance that affects the sorting of teachers across schools. While the raw data show that higher levels of ethnic segregation yield significant results that give meaning to the idea that qualified teachers move out at different ethnic tipping points in schools, there is no significant effect of ethnic segregation on the number of teachers or the composition of teachers using a fixed effects model. The addition of size and parents' education as variables further emphasizes that negative effects in Malmö municipality cannot be found alongside different tipping points. The result of the study speaks to the number of foreign students in a school being largely irrelevant for teacher mobility across schools in a municipality.
