Comparative
Nordic Statistics Released: How well are migrants
integrating?
|
How
well do migrants integrate into Nordic societies? The Nordic Statistics
database gathers data on migration
and integration, providing valuable insights into labour markets, education and
social trends. This harmonized and comparable dataset helps researchers,
policymakers, and the public in understanding how integration unfolds across
generations in the Nordic countries.
“Reliable,
comparable data is essential for shaping policies that support social and
economic inclusion. This new dashboard makes it easier to track long-term integration
trends and compare developments across the Nordic countries”, says Vitor
Miranda, who leads Nordregio’s work on the Nordic Statistics Database.

Ny forskning: Möten mellan flyktingar och professionella
formar tilliten
|
Forskning visar att möten mellan flyktingar och
professionella i välfärdsstaten är avgörande för att forma tillit. Hur
flyktingar bemöts och informeras påverkar deras tillit till både professionella
och institutioner. Liselott Sundbäck, forskardoktor vid Åbo Akademi, har
undersökt detta i sin avhandling.
Tillräcklig information, rättvis behandling, och delaktighet är centrala för att stärka tilliten. Vänligt bemötande och empati från professionella spelar också en stor roll. | |
Positiva erfarenheter kan återskapa tillit, medan negativa erfarenheter kan försvaga den.
Professionella möter utmaningar som tidsbrist och tidigare
negativa erfarenheter hos flyktingar. Trots detta är personliga möten och
lyhördhet viktiga för att bygga tillitsrelationer, vilket är avgörande för
flyktingarnas integration.

Min forskning visar på att tilliten är kontextuell, dynamisk och föränderlig. Därför är just mötet mellan flyktingar och professionella vid olika institutioner i välfärdsstaten centrala för hur tilliten formas.
