Immigrants as Entrepreneurs in Sweden (Engelska)
Abstract [en]

Discussions about and interest in small businesses are important for our public debates when it comes to internationalization of trade and economics and the number of immigrant companies, i.e. companies run by people with a foreign background.To start and run a business, access to resources is a central starting point. Human capital is required, for instance, individual resources in the form of knowledge, experience, drive and ideas. Thus, it can be problematic for immigrants to establish a company in Sweden due to language difficulties, obstacles to obtaining credit and a poor social network. The networks can also act as a kind of informal business incubator or business support for immigrant entrepreneurs. In many cases, immigrants are succeeding in establishing their businesses thanks to the great help of their family, relatives and friends. This thesis focuses on examining immigrants' position in the labor market and the driving forces behind the choice to start their own businesses. I have conducted four qualitative interviews with selected respondents to construct a theory of how immigrants experience the way into the labor market and as self-employed. The results that I have presented present the immigrants' driving forces to start their own as an ambition with also a necessity for independence.
