Abstract [en]

 This thesis explores the social and cultural integration experiences of Vietnamese migrants in Sweden through a qualitative, inductive approach. By conducting semi-structured interviews with 13 Vietnamese migrants of varying ages, occupations, and skill levels ranging from highly educated professionals to low-skilled workers, this study seeks to uncover the key factors that shape their integration journeys. Rather than applying fixed theoretical models from the outset, the research centers on migrants’ own narratives and perceptions, allowing patterns and themes to emerge organically from the data. Special attention is given to how variables such as language proficiency, social networks, and identity influence both challenges and pathways to belonging. The aim is to generate a more nuanced understanding of integration and captures the diverse, lived realities within a single ethnic community. This study contributes to broader discussions in migration and ethnic relations research by emphasizing intra-group differences and the intersectional nature of migrant integration in Swedish context.
