It's not unlikely that migrants coming from a less educated background choose to settle in highly segregated area as they likelier to opt to live closer to their country men. The problem with this is very obvious, many have problem learning the language, norms and fail to gain useful knowledge about their new modern society and what's worse is their children is in the same trap and the result is poor education, poverty and rising crime. The problem grows worse as people that become successful choose to move away because they are sick of the issues plaguing these areas, economics of scale works in reverse in these areas.
The left (S, V, mp) haven't touched much of these issues (ignorant or delusional), the right (C, L, KD, M) have chosen to ignore the problems for a long time until recently (swayed by the left?), and the extreme right (SD) has gotten very popular as they acknowledged problems but they seem to believe that it's an innate trait of the culture where these people are coming from and have extreme ideas about how to deal with it (rescind citizenship and deport). I don't think it's an innate trait, I myself is an immigrant and know many other immigrants from different backgrounds, and there's a huge difference between those that grew up in these neighborhoods and those that grew up in more areas which better represent the Swedish population. The one thing that is common to all successful immigrant (and immigrant children) is that they are confident and optimist, fast learners and choose to only hold on to parts of their original culture that fits within the Swedish norms.
This failure of integration, to build a modern, cohesive and beneficial culture for everyone, is common in the west, and particularly in Sweden who primarily takes in refugee immigrants from countries in war and not highly skilled immigrants from diverse backgrounds.
I hope these areas don't deteriorate even more and became like some ghettos of USA, where people die every other day because of gun violence as that's what I would call a no go zone.

That is because immigration from very different cultures is only common in the west. Other countries either don't attract immigrants from far off, or actively disallow their permanent residence (e.g. China and Japan).
