Eastern Europeans in Gotland is an essay with the purpose to find out how persons born in Eastern Europeans countries have adapted and integrated on Gotland. European community and notions about other groups of immigrants on Gotland have been relevant questions besides. The results of the essay show that the conditions for adaptation and integration are very different between the periods of time and for the individuals, depending on how they arrived to Sweden. The migrant workers quickly adapted to the labour market and had good premises to be in a position of financial independence. The demands of skills were low in the 60?s, but as a result of this, many of them didn?t learn the Swedish language very well and during the crisis in the 90?s they were no longer that attractive on the labour market.

Several reports and scientific research have shown that unemployment affectshealth negatively and that it is the young unemployed who suffer the most. Despitethis, there were not many evaluated labour market programs for young peoplefocusing both on how the labour market programs affect the job status and health,most of them were only focused on job status. Since there were not manycompilations in that direction, the essay is intended to describe the variousprograms and their impact on both job status and health. A literature-based studyhas been conducted and 15 articles have been reviewed and compiled into variouscategories using a content analysis. It turned out that the majority of the mostcommon labour market programs were represented in the scientific literature.There was also a new genre that is not mentioned in previous reports, cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT), which proved to be one of the most successful programs.Michigan Prevention Research Center (MPRC) job search programs also showedsome positive results.

The purpose of my thesis has been to examine the public debate in daily newspapers about children in 1882. For material I have used newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet from the year 1882. My study is based on a regulation concerning public schools from 1882 and a labour law concerning child labour from 1881. I have also examined other articles that focused on children to get an overview of what the papers wrote about them. With the articles I found in the Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet I have made a quantitative content analysis. As a method for the content analysis, I have used text analysis as a tool. As a result of my study I found a total of 228 articles about children and of those 82 dealt with the elementary school regulation and the child labour law in various ways. The other articles concerning children discussed issues such as how to raise your children, charity questions and accidents and crimes involving children. These articles were written from a perspective where society showed concern over the children's environment. Often the articles expressed great confidence and trust in the public schools as educators and as a place for learning and supervision..

The focus is to answer how the connection was between household size, its composition, organization of labour and the owner?s status in the society.  Also if a difference can be seen between the strategies of the noble owners compared to the bourgeois owners..

Landskrona har under de senaste åren handskats med kriminalitet där gärningsmännen har en ålder under 21 år. De brott det främst handlar om när vi talar om ungdomsbrottslighet i Landskrona kommun är misshandel utomhus och personrån. Trots att kommunen genom framgångsrika åtgärder nått positiva resultat där den tidigare uppåtgående brottstrenden nu stannat av och börjat dala, så ligger de höga siffrorna kvar som pekar på att ungdomskriminaliteten inte minskar i samma utsträckning. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att finna och förstå den normförändring som skett i Landskrona. För att studera detta har jag fört samtalsintervjuer med polis, Blåjackor, enhetschef med anställda och ungdomar på Ungdomshuset NOVA, samt använt mig av resultat från en enkät som ca 800 elever från gymnasieskolorna i Landskorna kommun själva fått deklarera sin relation och eventuella delaktighet i brott som misshandel och personrån.

Den här uppsatsen behandlar arbetssituationen för telefonintervjuare på ett marknadsundersökningsföretag, de lägst stående arbetarna i ett hierarkiskt uppbyggt företag.Fokus ligger på arbetarnas reflektioner kring sin arbetssituation och på hur företaget är uppbyggt, den fysiska och sociala miljön. Ambitionen är att få en inblick i hur de anställda upplever sitt arbete samt hur arbetssituationen kan påverka dem som individer. Intresset ligger även i att nå svar på frågor som i hur pass hög grad de anställda känner att de kan påverka sin arbetssituation och hur pass delaktiga de känner sig i arbetsprocessen. Den centrala frågeställningen är: Hur ser arbetssituationen ut och varför ser den ut som den gör? Hur ser arbetarens syn på sin arbetssituation ut och hur kan arbetssituationen på företaget påverka individen?Uppsatsen är kvalitativ till sin natur.

The purpose of this study was to examine how young managers (26-32 years old) in municipal old-age care organizations, in Skåne and Blekinge, experience their professional roles as managers in relation to their age. One of the questions asked in this study was whether managers experienced that their age affected their managerial position, and in that case, how? In order to investigate this, a qualitative method was used, including interviews and observations. Seven interviews with young managers were conducted. My approach in the working process was influenced by Grounded theory as defined by Glaser and Strauss (1968).

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa invandrade akademikers svårigheter på den svenska arbetsmarknaden och empirin består av sex intervjuer; varav fem arbetsförmedlare och en introduktionsförmedlare. Frågeställningen lyder: Vilka hinder finns och hur ser situationen ut på den svenska arbetsmarknaden för invandrade akademiker?Jag använder mig av empirin som består av intervjuer och belyser den med teorier, varav den övergripande teoribildningen är Erving Goffmans teori i boken Stigma - Den avvikandes roll och identitet. Bakgrunden till uppsatsen är statistik från integrationsverket som visar på att sysselsättningsgraden för inrikes födda ligger på 75 % medan den för utrikes födda ligger på 59 %. Statistiken visar även att invandrare, även de med akademisk utbildning, ofta hänvisas till vissa branscher, som industri och vårdyrken, och även till lågbetalda arbeten.

The flexibility of the labour market is considered as an instrument for increasing economic growth.Therefore has the use of flexible employment, also called atypical employment, increased. The atypical employment is characterized by insecurity in comparison with a traditional permanent full- time employment. One of the most common atypical employments is the manning employment, which is insecure whether it is permanent or not. The insecurity in the industry is based on insecure income, unpredictable working hours and poor psychosocial work environment.In order to encourage a continued increase of flexibility in the labour market while the need for security for staffing employees would be satisfied was Directive 2008:104 adopted.

This paper takes it points of departure in a gender equality perspective and the perceived paradox between the governmental labour market policy and family policy. The first policy area has the aim to put people to work, whereas the other introduces a reform, vårdnadsbidraget, that point in the opposite direction. Which are the problem representations within the two policy areas and are the problem representations concordant or contradictive? From a constructivist perspective, langue is closely related to power through defining and ascribing meaning to reality. Drawing on political documents, speeches and articles formulated within the government, this paper analyzes problem representations through the use of discourse analysis and feminist political theory.

The usage of temporary work agencies services is increasing in the Swedish labour market and it has also caused some problems. There have been cases where employers have been accused to circumvent the preferential right to reinstatement by using temporary agency workers rather than rehire preference eligible employees during labour need.The purpose of this thesis is to describe, analyse and enhance the understanding of the preferential rights to reinstatement and study when hiring of temporary agency workers, during the period when there is preference eligible former employees, is permitted. The method being used in this thesis has been applied with particular attention to the directives, laws, legislative history and doctrine.The preferential rights to reinstatement in 25-27 §§ of the Employment Protection Act is a protection which states that the employer has to hire employees or former dismissed employees during increased labour needs. The purpose of this right is that an employer should not be able to terminate an employee due to redundancy and then later hire new employees. An employee is entitled to the preferential right as he/she meets the criteria of the Employment Protection Act.
