Current projects

Immigrant women in and outside employment
The purpose of the project is to provide new knowledge about the labour market participation of different groups of immigrant women in the short and long term, and about the factors that promote or hinder participation in working life. In the project, we explore in particular what can help women with a refugee background enter work or education through the Introduction Programme, and how this attachment can be sustained over time.
