Abstract
Since about 1960 Sweden has received people from other countries, first as workers in our industry (they came mostly from Southern Europe), from 1970 mainly as refugees from all conflict areas all over the world. 1 of 10 families in Sweden, 10%, has ethnic roots in another country. The newcomer ́s situation has always been special. Around the big cities have, during this 50 years, grown so called multicultural areas where foreign families live.
