After the Second World War, Sweden turned into a nation with a movement overflow, for example there were more individuals that moved to Sweden than there were individuals emigrating. Today, more than one million of Sweden's nine million occupants are foreign national. A significant challenge for Swedish governmental has been to give migrant labours equivalent chances to in the labor market.

 Many research studies highlight that the rate of unemployment in migrant labourere remain very high then he local peole. In 2006, the joblessness rate for the local people was 4.2 percent and 10.6 percent for the migrants.

 Discrimination is also seen in the recruitment and wages between the local people and immigrant population in the labor force

 However many researches argue that on the field experiments testing discrimination in the Swedish labor market is difficult to prove because they have found issues in the
