Gender and family roles : A qualitative study on the impact of immigration on family roles from the perspective of women (English)
Abstract [sv]

Invandringen till Sverige har ökat under de senaste 10 åren. År 2017 anlände cirka 158 000 personer med syrisk bakgrund till Sverige (Sköld 2017). När en individ flyttar till ett nytt samhälle, kan de möta en annan genusordning. Denna förändring kan leda till förändringar i individers genus- och familjeroller i förhållande till hushållsarbete, barnomsorg och lönearbete. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att förstå invandrade kvinnors upplevelse av förändring och kontinuitet i sina genus- och familjeroller under tiden i Sverige jämfört med tiden i hemlandet, i förhållande till hushållsarbete, förvärvsarbete och barnomsorg. Studien genomfördes med en socialpsykologisk ansats och utgick från teorier om genussystem, genusnormer, stigma samt strukturell rollteori. Fem semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med invandrade kvinnor från Syrien. Resultaten visar att kvinnorna upplever både förändring och kontinuitet i sina genus- och familjeroller. De traditionella rollerna i förhållande till hushållsarbete, förvärvsarbete och barnomsorg står kvar, men nya roller läggs till. De nya rollerna och de höga kraven som förväntas av kvinnorna påverkar deras familjestruktur. Att ändra kvinnans genusroll kan leda till negativ respons från hennes partner, medan de nya rollerna ställer högre krav och gör det svårt för kvinnorna att balansera mellan samhälls- och familjekrav.

Abstract [en]

Immigration to Sweden has increased over the past 10 years. In 2017, approximately 158,000 people with Syrian background arrived in Sweden (Sköld 2017). Upon immigration, the individual encounters a new society with a different gender order. Moving to another community can lead to changes in one's gender- and family relationships in relation to housework, childcare and paid work. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand immigrant women's experience of change and continuity in their gender- and family roles during the time in Sweden compared to the time in the home country in relation to household work, paid work and child care.With a social psychological approach, this study was carried out based on theories of gender order, gender norms, stigma and structural role theory. The survey contains five semi-structured interviews with immigrant women from Syria. The results show that women experience both change and continuity in their gender and family roles. The results show that the traditional role in relation to housework, paid work and childcare remains, but new roles are added. The new roles and the high demands expected of the women affect their family structure. Changing the woman's gender role can lead to a negative response from her husband, while the new role places higher demands, which makes it difficult for women to balance the demands of society and the family.
