Abstract: | It is reported on a study of how the Swedish migration board, the Public employment service, the Refugee units, and the Adult education administration jointly support refugees in Sweden from their arrival into employment. Refugees are cast mainly by organizations in at least four different roles, hence imposing a series of social positions to be managed. ... The Swedish system for integration is often portrayed not to be very successful in pursuing its political and humanist goals which may be explained by the diversity of the political, social, practical, and financial objectives of the organizations involved in the process. It is concluded that a sociology of classification is useful for revealing how members of organizations enact social realities. |
