Abstract In recent years, Sweden has been one of the largest receiving countries of unaccompanied minors, compared to other EU member states. Recent studies have increasingly stressed the strength, resilience and agency of unaccompanied minors, despite the traumatic experiences and challenges they face. In this article, we study unaccompanied minors in the Swedish education system and the labour market using register-based data covering the period 2003–2014. We compare this group with accompanied minors and persons of the same age born in Sweden to investigate the mechanisms that facilitate and/or hinder their labour market well-being. We find that unaccompanied minors have problems in completing secondary school but do well in the labour market with regard to finding employment. Our results draw attention to the multifaceted processes that facilitate and/or hinder their labour market well-being.

以无人陪伴的未成年人和失散儿童的身份来到瑞典的难民青年：

摘要近年来，与其他欧盟成员国相比，瑞典是最大的无人陪伴未成年人接收国之一。最近的研究越来越强调无人陪伴的未成年人的力量，韧性和代理能力，尽管他们经历着痛苦的经历和挑战。在本文中，我们使用涵盖2003-2014年期间的基于登记的数据，研究了瑞典教育系统和劳动力市场中的无人陪伴未成年人。我们将这一群体与在瑞典出生的同伴未成年人和同龄人进行比较，以研究促进和/或阻碍其劳动力市场福祉的机制。我们发现，无人陪伴的未成年人在完成中学课程方面有困难，但在劳动力市场上找工作方面表现良好。
