The purpose of this thesis is to make Syrian and Eritrean immigrant womens experiences of inclusion and exclusion visable in Lund. This in relation to their participation in the establishment program ”Etableringsprogrammet”, which is acquired by the Swedish National Employment Service ”Arbetsförmedlingen”. Several aspects will be highlighted by Pierre Bourdieu´s theory of cultural-, symbolic-, economic and social capital, which explains the immigrant women’s position on the labor market. This in relation to Goffman´s theory stigmatization. I have applied a qualitative method in the form of semi-structural interviews, which included six individuals. Furthermore, it has been shown that administrators treat female immigrants from Eritrea and Syria as a resource, in order to promote the political agenda of goal and performance management. It is also confirmed that “Etableringsprogrammet” reproduces a structural problem, which among other aspects, is based on an obedience and trust for the Swedish state.

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka vilken inverkan boendesegregation har på ungdomars utbildningsmöjligheter. Studien innefattade 15 vetenskapliga artiklar och rapporter som analyserades med hjälp av systemteori och Bourdieus teori om kapitalformer. Resultaten visade att den sociala omgivningen är en viktig faktor för ungdomarnas studieresultat. Bostadsområdets vuxna är viktiga som rollmodeller. Normer och beteenden i närmaste omgivningen spelar en viktig roll i ungdomarnas socialisering. En avgörande del i hur ungdomarna presterar och väljer skola är hur mycket och vilka olika former av kapital de har med sig sedan tidigare. Med ett sämre kapital minskar möjligheterna att införskaffa de resurser som krävs för att välja bort skolan i närområdet och gå till en resursstarkare skola. Slutsatsen visar att ungdomars studieresultat påverkas av vilka system de ingår i och hur starkt kapital de har. Var och hur man bor inverkar även på ungdomars möjligheter till framtida studier och skolval. / The aim of this qualitative study was to examine the impact of residential segregation on young people´s educational opportunities. The study included 15 scientific articles and reports which were analyzed by using system theory and Bourdieu´s theory of capital forms. The results showed that the social environment is an imortant factor in explaining the academic performance of young people. The adults in the residential area are important as role models. Norms and behaviors in the immediate environment play a crucial role in the socialization of young people. A determining factor of young people´s academic performance and on their school choice is which forms of capital forms and resources they bring from their childhood. With less capital, it also follows that they can not acquire the resources that are necessary to choose a resourceful school instead of the school in the neighbourhood. The conclusion shows that young people´s school results are affected by the system they are part of and how strong capital resources they bring. Where and how you live, do have an impact on young people’s opportunities for further studies.
