معرفی
Anna Tegunimataka is a Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM), where she serves as Head of the Department of Economic History. She is also affiliated with the Centre for Economic Demography and is a member of the LU Profile Area on Human rights. Her academic work bridges economic history, demography, and migration studies, with a particular focus on immigrant integration and family dynamics in Nordic contexts.
Dr. Tegunimataka's research centers on Economic Demography with a specialization in migration. Her work examines the individual-level effects of naturalization for immigrants, income and intergenerational effects of intermarriage, immigrant educational attainment, and family demography with particular attention to the consequences of stepfamily formation for children. Her research often employs comparative Nordic perspectives and utilizes longitudinal data to track demographic and socioeconomic patterns over time. She has made significant contributions to understanding how migration policies affect integration outcomes and how family structures influence child development in immigrant communities.
Her extensive publication record reveals a strong focus on immigrant integration across multiple dimensions - economic, social, and educational. Her work frequently examines disparities between immigrant generations and native populations, with particular attention to children's outcomes. She has conducted notable research on Small Island Developing States, exploring health transitions and development challenges in these unique contexts. Her methodological approach combines quantitative demographic techniques with economic analysis to produce policy-relevant insights.

Dr. Tegunimataka actively supervises both PhD and master's students, with current supervision including PhD candidate Jessica Kees on the project "Escaping Segregation: A Longitudinal Analysis of Socio-Spatial mobility, neighborhood policy and immigrant integration in Malmö and Copenhagen." She has secured multiple research grants, including projects funded by the Swedish Research Council on "Socioeconomic Segregation – The Impact of Neighborhoods, Schools and Policy Across the Life Course" and "Sustainable development in Small Island Developing States." Her work has informed policy discussions through reports for the Delegation for Migration Studies (DELMI) presented to the Swedish government, and she has presented findings to the Danish ministry of labor and Copenhagen Municipality.
She is actively involved in multiple research collaborations, including projects examining socio-spatial mobility in Nordic cities, migration policy effects across Scandinavian countries, and development challenges in Small Island Developing States. Her work connects economic history with contemporary demographic challenges, providing historical context for current migration and integration patterns.
