The aim of the study is to study which promoting and inhibiting factors which can be the foundation to whether people with a criminal past find and keep a job or not. The essay also asks what is demanded both individually but also structurally to maintain the capacity to stay employable. The results of this study are that there are both promoting and inhibiting factors when ex-offenders are reintegrating back to society though the labor market.
