Research Interests
The overall subject of my research is social stratification and inequality in the labor market. The main theme within this framework is how social structures in the labor market affect the opportunities and restrictions of individuals in their work. The types of structural contexts I have principally studied are characteristics of the work organization and the firm where the employee is employed, and the characteristics of the job or work position that the individual holds in the firm. In connection to this, I have studied matters, such as the relationship between occupational sex segregation and the gender wage gap; the impact of job shifts, between and within firms, on workers’ earnings progression, and how different welfare state arrangements affect women’s labor market outcomes. In recent years my research has primarily revolved about the situation of immigrants in the Swedish labor market.
