ABSTRACT In Sweden, immigrants’ integration and residential patterns are much disputed. Segregation is seen as a threat to social cohesion and policies at least rhetorically aim to create mixed neighbourhoods. Immigrants’ settlement patterns and residential mobility are often explained with competing spatial assimilation and place stratification theories. Building from these two theories, this study investigates immigrants’ mobility towards native-dominated neighbourhoods by clarifying the role of immigrants’ country of origin in association with socioeconomic status, while emphasizing the importance of settlement context. The paper presents a survival analysis based on everyone who migrated to Sweden from 1990 to 2010. The conclusion is that immigrants’ backgrounds strongly shape residential outcomes, and that spatial integration can be facilitated by a better housing market position at the start of the housing career in Sweden, by labour market participation, and good educational attainment. There are better prospects of ending up in native-dominated neighbourhoods outside metropolitan areas, whereas in metropolitan areas, increase in income has less impact on residential mobility and the opportunity structures for spatial integration are much more constrained, especially for refugees. The study finds more support for the place stratification theory, especially for the weak version, than for spatial assimilation.

移民向以土著为主的社区的流动性：个人资源、原籍国和定居环境的作用

摘要 在瑞典，移民的融合和居住模式存在很大争议。隔离被视为对社会凝聚力的威胁，政策至少在言辞上旨在创建混合社区。移民的定居模式和居住流动性通常用相互竞争的空间同化和地方分层理论来解释。本研究以这两种理论为基础，通过阐明移民原籍国与社会经济地位相关的作用，同时强调定居环境的重要性，调查了移民向以土著为主的社区的流动性。该论文根据 1990 年至 2010 年移民到瑞典的每个人进行了生存分析。结论是移民的背景强烈影响了居住结果，在瑞典的住房职业生涯开始时，更好的住房市场地位、劳动力市场参与和良好的教育程度可以促进空间整合。在大都市区以外的以土著为主的社区结束的可能性更大，而在大都市区，收入增加对居民流动性的影响较小，空间整合的机会结构受到更多限制，尤其是对难民而言。该研究发现，与空间同化相比，对地方分层理论的支持更多，尤其是弱版本。在大都市区以外的以土著为主的社区结束的可能性更大，而在大都市区，收入增加对居民流动性的影响较小，空间整合的机会结构受到更多限制，尤其是对难民而言。该研究发现，与空间同化相比，对地方分层理论的支持更多，尤其是弱版本。在大都市区以外的以土著为主的社区结束的可能性更大，而在大都市区，收入增加对居民流动性的影响较小，空间整合的机会结构受到更多限制，尤其是对难民而言。该研究发现，与空间同化相比，对地方分层理论的支持更多，尤其是弱版本。
