I am a phd student in sociology at SOFI, Stockholm university. I take part in the project "All-inclusive? Cohesion and exclusion in work-life change". In general, I am interested in fields related to the labour market and working life, and to how fairness and efficiency might be combined to reach best possible outcomes. In particular, I am interested in various dimensions of inequality and their causes and societal consequences. During my phd, I plan to study:
*how inequality and relative poverty affects health in Sweden.
*how unemployment at the individual and the community level affect political opinions, in particular nationalist views.
*how economic shocks och policies affects the unemployment gap between immigrants and citizens born in the country and the unemployment gap between young and middle age people.
This research program examines cohesion and exclusion in working life in the wake of long-term structural change. As labor markets are transformed by rising skill requirements and service sector expansion, the conditions and opportunities of both traditionally marginal groups and formerly established worker categories may change considerably.
