Abstract [en]

The transformation that has been happening during recent years in Malmö has contributed in changing it from industrial city to center of education, business and development. Malmö has become attractive, dynamic and one of the most sustainable cities in the world. It attracts high-skilled immigrants from different countries from all over the world. This study focuses on and aims to explore and determine what the main interests and needs are for high-skilled immigrants situated in the region of Malmö-Lund, which can influence their decision to stay in the region or to leave. In the study will be applied: human capital theory, social capital theory, theory of creative class, new growth theory and theory of structured transformation. In order to collect holistic and rich empirical data during the study qualitative methods were employed and carried out.
