A Qualitative Study of Roma Women's Vulnerability on the Swedish Labor Market : Roma Women's Experiences of Negative Events and Attitudes on the Labor Market (English)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study is to investigate Roma women's negative experiences on the Swedish labor market. Focus is on working Roma women to increase knowledge about oppressive processes on an ethnic basis in working life and to highlight its consequences at both individual and group level.  Since the study includes negative behaviors based on ethnic backgrounds, three different theories will be used to explain processes of the negative attitudes and behaviors towards them. Following theories are stigma which describes the negative prejudices about a group, habitus that describes learned actions and settings for something, and lastly intersection which describes power relations and hierarchies based on several characteristics of the identity. The three main research questions in this study includes questions about what experiences they have of negative attitudes in the labor market and how these manifest, second is about how the Roma women are affected by these and the consequences, and the third is about how they think the employer, the workplace and society could counteract these attitudes. The selection group consisted of five Roma women. The study has been carried out and the material has been developed using qualitative methods in the form of individual semi structured interviews. The result showed that negative prejudices about Roma women's abilities, negative behaviors as criminality, and cultural expressions as Roma clothes, but also hierarchies which affected Roma women in different ways, were common amongst the informants. The consequences of the negative behavior against the Roma women at the labor market could be more serious which could lead to mental illness. In less serious consequences it could lead up to insecurity about changing workplaces and/or confronting the negative attitudes.
