Immigrant Entrepreneurship in Sweden

This book explores the impact of migration on economic growth and entrepreneurship in Sweden. By looking at economic and migration trends over the last centuries, it examines the sectors, industries, and geographical locations where entrepreneurship has taken place, the economic and social impact of entrepreneurship, and the specifics of migrant entrepreneurship. Trends within Sweden are compared with the rest of the world to assess the unique aspects of migrant entrepreneurship in Sweden and to see whether Swedish institutions positively impact economic growth.

This book examines the history of migrant entrepreneurship to see if the challenges faced by modern migrants are new and to evaluate whether past successes can be used to overcome these challenges. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in the economics of migration, labour economics, and entrepreneurship.
