My research primarily concerns the history of labour markets, jobs and occupations. Currently, I am working with a project on retirement behavior among men and women before the welfare state, ca. 1880-1950. For this purpose, we employ databases of historical populations, made available through the SwedPop research infrastructure.
Other ongoing projects concern the dynamics of craft production and artisans in the nineteenth century, labour mobility and career patterns in a large twentieth-century city (Gothenburg), and the history of “youth jobs” (errand boys, office boys, domestic servants etc).
Previous projects include labour conflicts and the origins of the Swedish Model, constructing an historical gender gap index for Swedish counties, wage discrimination and membership in trade unions and sickness funds among factory workers, the gender gap in absenteeism, personnel policies (layoff criteria) and mechanization in the tobacco industry and the history of non-standard employment relationships (with the shipbuilding industry as a case).
I currently teach on courses in general economic history, the history of labour markets and on the importance of human capital.
