This study examines the dynamics of immigrant entrepreneurship in Sweden, considering the nation's rich history of diverse immigration flows. It explores how various factors—immigration background, gender, age, geographical location, length of stay and reasons for immigration—impact immigrants' propensity to become entrepreneurs and their employment rate. Utilizing a blend of qualitative research and quantitative data analysis, the study highlights the critical role of self-employment in economic integration for immigrants, particularly in overcoming labor market barriers such as discrimination and unrecognized qualifications. It delves into the influence of ethnic enclaves and societal factors on entrepreneurial decisions. This research not only contributes to academic discourse on immigration and entrepreneurship in Sweden but also provides valuable insights for policymakers, business organizations and social actors aiming to foster economic integration among immigrants.
