The shift from a fairly equitably distributed economy to a more unequal one is likely to have consequences. This article investigates neighbourhood differences in three cities in Sweden between 1990 and 2006 using panel registry data for the total population. The results show increasing neighbourhood differences in the outcomes of student grades and youth unemployment. Neighbourhood differences were computed for both those belonging to the majority of the population and visible minorities, and it was determined that the differences are not the result of an increase in the number of immigrants in poorer neighbourhoods. The majority population displays the largest differences in both grades and unemployment. The increase in disparities among neighbourhoods regarding outcomes for youth is a warning sign: it could lead to low motivation, loss of aspirations and social unrest.

從一個相當公平的分配經濟向一個更加不平等的經濟進行轉變，會產生一些社會後果。本文使用總人口的面板注冊表數據研究瑞典三個不同城市在1990年和2006年的差異。結果顯示，街區之間的差異隨著學生的成績和青年失業的結果而增加。街區差異將那些多數人口與可見的少數人群計算進來，而較貧困街區的移民數量的增加並不導致街區差異。多數人口在年級和失業上面呈現出最大的差異。街區之間差距的增加與青年人的成果相關，這是一個警告信號：這會導致動機降低、抱負喪失與社會動蕩。
