Of the approximately 17,000 non-European immigrants between 25 and 65 years old who were registered as having moved out last year, 57 percent had post-secondary education.
There is little research on why people emigrate from Sweden, but one possible reason may be that many have difficulty finding jobs that match their education, according to Andrea Monti, doctor of sociological democracy at Mälardalen University.
You may not be able to use your higher education, or you may not get the same job or income that you expected, she says to Ekot.
Previous studies have shown that this may be one of the reasons why you move on, according to Andrea Monti.
