'A big impact': How important is your name when seeking a job in Sweden?

In this clip from Sweden in Focus Extra, The Local's Nordic editor Richard Orange chats with Moa Bursell, a sociologist from Mälardalen University who specialises in ethnic discrimination on the labour market.

Richard caught up with the researcher recently for an article about why some immigrants change their names to sound more Swedish.

They also talk about how big a role ethnicity plays in the chances of getting called for a job interview, and whether Sweden is getting more or less open to people with foreign names.
