We have based our study on literature studies and six qualitative interviews conducted with representatives from different organizations and the municipality in Glasgow and Malmö. The outcome of our essay showed some differences in the political strategies. Scotland work closer to the employers and labour market compared to Sweden whose policy more promotes education. This we could relate to our general observation that young people are well educated in Malmö but the supply of job opportunities are less. In Glasgow there is a higher demand in the labour market after young people but they suffer from having the appropriate qualifications, which the employers ask for. (Less)
