Social Resilience: Lived Experiences of Young Adult Migrants in Sweden

Social resilience is relatively a new concept that is seldom researched from a life course perspective using a phenomenological research approach. The main objective of this study is to investigate social resilience (both theoretically and empirically) in the context of young adult migrants residing in Sweden. This is a phenomenological research that will describe and interpret the lived experiences of young adult migrants as well as their interactions with the host country's social, political, economic, and cultural environments. A contextualized conceptualization of social resilience, as well as a qualitative review of the existing definitions are part of the research project that will provide theoretical insight. This study will provide research-based fresh insights into social resilience in the context of migration, that will be helpful to study social experiences and social integration that contribute to holistic well-being.

This study will provide a phenomenological understanding of social resilience by investigating the lived experiences of young adult migrants in Sweden in relation to the changes and challenges they faced, as well as their transitory and transformative experiences.
