Sense of Belonging among First-Generation Migrants: Educational Reproduction of Inequality in Sweden

In a globalized world, schools are becoming more diverse. Research has shown that feelings of belonging are important for the success of migrants in school.

Setting the stage for news engagement : a case study of news audiences in Sweden

Based on theories of minority participation in the public sp

Unemployment and alcohol-related health in Sweden

A large number of studies have explored the relations between unemployment and alcohol-related health, but so far there is no consensus among the results. This paper contributes to the literature by exploring how unemployment is related to overall alcohol consumption as well as to the rates of alcohol poisoning, alcohol addiction and alcohol-related liver disease. A fixed effects model is used on
