Preparations for retirement in Sweden: Migrant perspectives
(2016) In Critical Social Policy 36(4). p.531-550- Abstract

An important implication from our findings is the need to explore ways to include a group that is currently excluded from the labour market, hence adequate retirement income protection. (Less)
