For this purpose, models should assimilate pertinent data and quantify uncertainties in outcomes

‘I feel good here’ : A qualitative study on subsidised employment in a Swedish municipal labour market programme

The aim of this article is to understand how a group of subsidised employees constructed a collective identity and symbolic community, and the role the municipal labour market programme played in that process.
