In this edition of OECD Podcasts Shayne MacLachlan is Joined by Frida Grundahl from Yalla Trappan; a groundbreaking social enterprise dedicated to creating job opportunities and fostering financial independence for Sweden’s foreign-born women. Statistically, this group is said to be one of the most distant from the labour market and Yalla Trappan is working to empower these women by giving them an opportunity to identify with working, to break down their social isolation, and to provide them a chance to stand on their own two feet and contribute to society.
In their conversation Shayne and Frida discuss examples of Yalla Trappan’s work and strategies, the struggles of establishing a non-profit in a competitive environment and how Yalla Trappan has interacted with local governance and policy challenges. Throughout this discussion the focus remains on the core mission of empowering the foreign-born women of Sweden.
Guest: Frida Grundahl – Project Manager at Yalla Trappan
