Projektbidrag för forskning om segregation och utanförskap

This project grant with special focus aims to support research on segregation and exclusion in Sweden. The research program should contribute to new knowledge about significant socioeconomic differences that exist between different residential areas, neighborhoods, and regions in Sweden regarding school results, education levels, language skills, employment, income, health, life expectancy, safety, democratic participation, and involvement in cultural life. The research should contribute to new knowledge about how social, economic, cultural, and political exclusion limits individuals' and groups' opportunities to improve their situation over time and between generations. By clarifying the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of exclusion, research can identify effective measures to improve people's life chances, reduce segregation, and promote inclusion. The program's broad focus means that pressing issues around segregation and exclusion can be illuminated from a range of different perspectives, welcoming applications from all scientific fields as well as cross- and multidisciplinary approaches.
