This article examines the transition from compulsory school to education and work for children of immigrants and native Danes by focusing on NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) status. Using administrative register data, I first examined the overrepresentation of children of immigrants in the NEET group three years after completion of compulsory school. I then analysed: (a) whether differences in family background and grades can explain this overrepresentation and (b) whether NEET status during this period is associated with a high risk of NEET status four years later (i.e., seven years after compulsory school completion). My results show higher NEET rates for children of immigrants than for native Danes. Regression analysis of three year groups suggests, unfavourable family characteristics explain the higher probability of NEET status among children of immigrants in two of these groups. NEET status in the three-year period after school completion is associated with higher risk of NEET status four years later for both children of immigrants and native Danes.

Social work researchers Marcus Herz and Philip Lalander have written the most comprehensive and extensive work on the everyday life experiences of unaccompanied minors and youth in Sweden so far. Through focusing on the ordinary day-to-day experiences of their young participants, the authors challenge the dehumanization that the label of ‘unaccompanied minors’ produces and instead highlight this diversity in how young people caught in this categorization experience their life in Sweden. In their book, Social Work, Young Migrants and the Act of Listening: Becoming an Unaccompanied Child , they cover the time period shortly before, during, and a few years after ‘the long summer of migration’ when more than 35,000 (in 2015 only) unaccompanied minors applied for asylum in Sweden. As such, it is a major contribution to migration research in the way it captures this significant time period through the eyes of those who were at the center of attention at the time: unaccompanied minors themselves. Through listening closely and attentively to the 20 participating youth’s own narratives, Herz and Lalander manage to provide engaging and thoughtful insight into their experiences. The authors are thus firmly rooted in a tradition of critical social work that focuses on the lived experiences of subaltern groups and how society can be improved by listening to these groups’ experiences. In their book, Herz and Lalander bring together findings from their research about unaccompanied minors and youth in Sweden that have previously been published in several academic articles as well as in a Swedish monography called Rörelser, gränser och liv (Herz and Lalander 2019). Throughout the empirical chapters, Herz and Lalander cover an impressive range of experiences and themes that make the everyday lives of unaccompanied minors accessible to a broader audience. As they engage in dialogue with their participants, the authors explore their everyday experiences, worries, and dreams. The chapters initially follow a straightforward chronology, starting with young people’s first encounters with Sweden and how the Swedish ‘borderland’ unfolds before them over the coming years.
社会工作研究人员马库斯·赫兹和菲利普·拉兰德撰写了迄今为止瑞典无人陪伴的未成年人和青少年日常生活经历方面最全面、最广泛的工作。通过关注年轻参与者的日常经历,作者挑战了“无人陪伴的未成年人”标签所产生的非人性化,而是强调了被这种分类的年轻人如何体验他们在瑞典生活的多样性。在他们的书《社会工作、年轻移民和倾听的行为:成为一个无人陪伴的孩子》中,他们涵盖了“漫长的移民之夏”之前、期间和之后的几年,当时有超过3.5万(仅2015年)无人陪伴的未成年人在瑞典申请庇护。因此,它对移民研究做出了重大贡献,因为它通过那些当时处于关注中心的人的眼睛捕捉了这一重要时期:无人陪伴的未成年人自己。赫兹和拉兰德仔细倾听了20位参与其中的年轻人自己的故事,为他们的经历提供了引人入胜、深思熟虑的见解。因此,作者坚定地植根于批判性社会工作的传统,即关注底层群体的生活经历,以及如何通过倾听这些群体的经历来改善社会。Herz和Lalander在他们的书中汇集了他们对瑞典无人陪伴的未成年人和青少年的研究结果,这些研究结果此前已发表在几篇学术文章以及瑞典专著Rörelser, gränser och liv (Herz and Lalander 2019)中。在整个实证章节中,赫兹和拉兰德涵盖了一系列令人印象深刻的经历和主题,使更多的读者能够接触到无人陪伴的未成年人的日常生活。当他们与参与者进行对话时,作者探索了他们的日常经历、担忧和梦想。这些章节最初遵循一个简单的时间顺序,从年轻人第一次遇到瑞典开始,以及瑞典的“边境”在未来几年如何在他们面前展开。
