ECONOMY. "The average individual born outside the Western world never becomes self-sufficient over his life cycle." This is one of the conclusions in a new report from the Entrepreneurship Forum, written by researchers at Lund University.


There are very large differences in the degree of self-sufficiency between different groups in Sweden.

On average, 63 per cent of domestic-born people aged 20 to 70 were self-sufficient in 2016. The corresponding figure for individuals born in other western countries was 47 per cent and for individuals born outside the western world only 27 per cent were self-sufficient.

This emerges in a new report from the Entrepreneurship Forum written by Associate Professor Åsa Hansson and Professor Mats Tjernberg, both at Lund University.

Self-sufficiency is measured in the report as the difference between paid income taxes and received benefits and other social transfers. If the difference is positive, the tax subsidy is greater than the transfers received, while a negative value means that you receive more in subsidies than you pay in tax. If the difference is zero, you are considered self-sufficient.

- Among domestic-born in 2016, the average individual in the age range 35 and 62 is self-sufficient. For foreign-born from other western countries, the corresponding age range is 39 to 59 years, while the average individual born outside the western world is not self-sufficient in 2016, says Åsa Hansson in a press release.

The report shows that the difference in self-sufficiency between domestic and foreign-born with low education (lack of primary school education) is small. However, the proportion without primary school education among domestic-born is significantly lower than the proportion among foreign-born.

- It is important to solve how training initiatives can increase employability, but raising the level of training takes a long time. Alternative measures are required for the low-skilled who increase the chances of getting a job. These can be initiatives that reduce the costs for employers to hire, stronger incentives in the labor market, but also more simple jobs and apprenticeships, says Professor Mats Tjernberg.
