| Summary: | The aim of this study was to seek an understanding of how media presents integration within the market of labour, with focus on problems and its causes, after the refugee crisis in 2015. Our approach has been the analyzing of 24 discussion articles from three different newspapers which are; Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet and Dagens Nyheter. Our study is a qualitative document study and we have used Fairclough’s three-dimensional model to analyze our empirical material. Our focus has been to analyze the language in the articles, the context of the texts and how that can influence or change the social practice. To analyze the articles, we have used various color codes, which have made it easier to split the articles in different themes. Furthermore, we have applied Søren Barlebo Wenneberg’s version of the social construction theory. He chose to divide the theory in four different pieces, whereas we have chosen the one we thought would contribute most with a deeper understanding to our study. Finally, we have used relevant literature as well as the notion of stigma by Erving Goffman. We found that, among other things, politicians are pushing for many reforms that is lacking in society, such as lower wages regarding the employment of refugees or more combinations of jobs and education. Their approach has been to convey this to the public through the media. The results also showed that throughout the articles seldom were refugees who spoke. Something that dominated the media was the response of different politicians, experts or professionals about the failed integration. Their response was almost always about more or less education, as well as low-paid jobs and which one that was the best option, depending on the opinion of the author.
