7. 5. Immigration, Social Cohesion, and the Welfare State : Studies on Ethnic Diversity in Germany and Sweden

   Author : Tina Goldschmidt; Jens Rydgren; Martin Hällsten; Peer Scheepers; Stockholms universitet; []

   Abstract : Can social cohesion and solidarity persist in the face of large-scale migration? One particularly contentious hypothesis states that native majorities will be unwilling to support the provision of government-funded welfare to those whom they do not consider to be part of their own sociocultural ingroup, especially when sociocultural or ethnic otherness and socioeconomic disadvantage overlap. Consequently, majorities’ willingness to accept disadvantaged immigrant groups as legitimate and trusted members of the welfare community is central to the social cohesion of societies diversifying through migration.
