Who cleans the welfare state?

1 December, 2010 - Institutet för Framtidsstudier

In this report Anna Gavanas, social anthropologist and associate professor at the Institute for Futures Studies, explores the dynamics of migration, social exclusion and labour market informalization through the lens of the domestic service sector in Stockholm. Based on a recent interview study, Gavanas identifies crucial aspects of a range of large scale social and economic shifts in Sweden. Especially in focus are the conditions of migrant domestic workers in a globalized economy.

New report from the Institute for Futures Studies: How Migration Can Benefit Development: Bridging the Research and Policy Gap

12 September, 2006 - Institutet för Framtidsstudier

Migration can contribute to economic development in poor countries. But there is a need for more resources to high-quality research, both on the positive and the negative effects of migration. This can only be achieved through more far-reaching cooperation, both nationally, regionally and globally. The research agenda needs to be updated and adapted to regional and national contexts. Networks between researchers and experts and policymakers need to be reinforced.
