Abstrakt:	Aim: To explore how overcrowding affects children's health, environment and schooling. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with individual interviews among 20 participants with occupational experience from overcrowded Stockholm areas but diverse in professions, locations and employers. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed with Systematic Text Condensation. Results: Almost all participants expressed that overcrowding has a negative impact on children's health, environment and schooling - based on perceptions of precarious and different living conditions for children in overcrowded areas, for example, substandard homes, vulnerability, stress, exclusion, limited resources, lack of learning opportunities, gender differences, confinement, shame, insecurity, conflicts, risk of criminality, and bodily impact, both physical and psychological. Conclusions: Our qualitative evidence suggest that overcrowding has a negative impact on children's health, environment and schooling .
