This thesis analyses educational investments and labour market attachment for refugee immigrants who received a permanent visa to Sweden during 1987-1991. It consists of five self-contained chapters. Chapter 2 presents a brief overview of the historical process behind immigration to Sweden from the post-war period until today, give an orientation on the development of Swedish immigration policy during this period, and analyses the composition of the immigrant population in a number of different dimensions. Chapter 3 provides a descriptive picture of the refugee immigrant cohorts included in our database, FLYDATA, and introduce areas where in-depth research on these cohorts will be undertaken. Chapter 4, the first of the empirical studies, analyses the determinants of investments in formal education for these immigrants. The study is conducted on the immigrants' first five years in Sweden. Two different categories of Swedish formal education, secondary and primary education, are considered. The number of semesters spent in each education category are analysed by count data models. According to our results there are four factors that are more important than others in determining the amount invested in the two categories of Swedish formal education. These are age at migration, the level of pre-immigration education, the year during which the immigrant received his/her residence permit, and to some extent also the country of origin. Chapter 5 analyses the determinants of the duration until the first transition into an investment in post-migration education. Research into immigrant labour market performance has shown that the degree of economic adjustment depends in part on the extent of investments in destination specific human capital by the immigrants.
