This research aims to analyze an asylum seeker's choice of asylum country and why Sweden inparticular. The study is based on Professor Lee's (1966) push- and pulltheory and the questionson which the study is based are "what impact do push and pull factors have on the choice ofrecipient country?" and "are there differences between asylum seekers from Syria andAfghanistan when choosing a recipient country?" The method used is an interview study, morespecifically semi-structured interviews. The conclusions found in the study are that the resultsof this study and previous studies are consistent, the main pullfactors that are consistent withthe theory and that explain the reason why Sweden is chosen, are the possibility of educationand work, a relative or friend who already lives in Sweden, human rights and that Sweden isconsidered a safe country. The respondents' pushfactor which explains the reason for leavingthe country of origin, was first and foremost that everyone needed to flee due to war and misery.It does not matter where an asylum seeker comes from as everyone has the same goal and thatis to survive.
