Given the amount of asylum seekers that Sweden has accepted the issue of their integration into the Swedish workforce has become an increasingly acute problem. Swedish government agencies has also noticed that especially women are underrepresented in an already small group of recently arrived who has entered the Swedish labour market. Swedish government agencies has tried to come to grips with this through studies and programs devoted to the issue. This study explains some of the reasons why immigrant women from Syria are underrepresented by looking at how values from their homecountries affect their integration into the labour market. The present study is based on interviews with 6 men and women from Syria and shows how especially “the patriarchal bargain” negatively affects womens participation on the labour market.
