Abstract

Statistics made available by the Swedish Migration Agency (SMA) make it possible to follow first-decision outcomes in asylum cases concerning unaccompanied children (types of residence permits granted, percentage of rejections, etc.). Yet, we know little about differences in asylum decision outcomes for unaccompanied children coming to Sweden. Therefore, we wanted to find out how gender, country of origin, and asylum reports are associated with the likelihood of being granted residency. Asylum decisions concerning unaccompanied children were first coded inductively. These codes were later merged into larger categories that were analyzed quantitatively by logistic regression analysis. The data sample consisted of one calendar year of asylum decisions issued by the SMA. Results show that fewer girls than boys were granted asylum, and in fact, girls have an overall lower prospect of being granted residency. Results also display statistically significant gender differences in reported reasons for seeking asylum.

身无分文的无人陪伴女孩

摘要

瑞典移民局 (SMA) 提供的统计数据使得在涉及无人陪伴儿童的庇护案件中遵循第一决定结果成为可能（授予的居留许可类型、拒绝的百分比等）。然而，我们对来到瑞典的无人陪伴儿童的庇护决定结果的差异知之甚少。因此，我们想了解性别、原籍国和庇护报告如何与获得居留权的可能性相关联。关于无人陪伴儿童的庇护决定首先被归纳编码。这些代码后来被合并成更大的类别，通过逻辑回归分析进行定量分析。数据样本包括 SMA 发布的一个日历年的庇护决定。结果表明，获得庇护的女孩比男孩少，事实上，女孩获得居留权的可能性总体较低。结果还显示，在报告的寻求庇护原因方面存在统计学上显着的性别差异。
