Emotional demands at work measured via a job exposure matrix and sickness absence from common mental disorders
Emotional demands in relational work are increasingly recognized as risk factors for common mental disorders (CMDs), yet evidence on the sex-specific population burden for long-term sickness absence (LTSA) with CMD diagnoses remains limited. We conducted a nationwide cohort study of 1.84 million employed individuals in Norway aged 17-74, excluding those with CMD-related LTSA in 2017. Exposure to emotional demands in 2018 was assigned using an occ…
Social inequality in alternative sanctions
The penal repertoire for young offenders in Europe encompasses an increasing variety of alternative sanctions. Research indicates that the availability and implementation of these sanctions vary within jurisdictions, raising issues of unequal treatment for equal offences. Among possible factors associated with intra-jurisdictional disparities in alternative sentencing outcomes is the socioeconomic status of young offenders. This study investigate…
Preventing future crime in adolescent drug offenders

Health effects of downsizing survival and job loss in Norway
The impact of downsizing on remaining workers' sickness absence

Previous research has not always distinguished between downsizing and broader organizational redesign, or at least not analysed the two together, and may therefore have confounded the effects of the two on employees' health and well-being. Analyses of cross-sectional data on Norwegian employees ( N = 1944) suggest that downsizing and internal reorganization affects employees in predominantly negative ways. Neither downsizing nor internal reorgani…
