Who benefits from the Industrial Agreement? Uncovering the trends and structures of wage inequality at play in the Swedish wage-setting model
Sweden's Industrial Agreement (IA) has long been heralded as a cornerstone of the country's balanced growth model – anchoring wage formation to export sector norms while also promoting wage equality across the labour market. This paper interrogates the IA's distributive outcomes between 2014 and 2023, a period spanning both pre-pandemic stability and post-pandemic inflation. Using occupational wage data and multinomial regression analyses, we fin…
Exploring split shifts in Swedish elderly care: A case study through the lens of power resources theory
This article examines the use of split shifts—workdays divided into two periods with a long, unpaid break—in Swedish eldercare. Despite their widespread use, the structural factors driving this scheduling practice remain unclear. Using a case study approach and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), the study explores these factors across municipalities. Insights were drawn from interviews with HR managers, previous research, and power resource …

This article proposes a class concept rooted in value domination, which compels individuals to the market for survival. Whi…
Arv, miljö eller både och: En kritisk realistisk kritik av heritabilitetsmetodiken
Med hjälp av heritabilitetsmetodik har en del forskare som använder tvillingstudier, och på senare år även DNA-studier, hävdat att genetiskt arv på ett avgörande sätt förklarar sociala utfall. Att söka förklara vad som orsakar sociala utfall är en strävan att förklara hur verkligheten är beskaffad och är därmed en ontologisk fråga. Syftet med artikeln är att med utgångspunkt från den kritiska realismen kritiskt undersöka heritabilitetsstudiernas …
