Time spent abroad as a source of human capital – A nationwide study
This study examined the extent to which time spent abroad contributes to human capital, using higher income as an indicator. Utilising Finnish register data, the study focused on returning migrants with higher education ( N = 3497), matched with a reference population ( N = 30,882). Time abroad was associated with a higher income level upon return amongst men (returnees €63,199, reference €55,982), but not amongst women (returnees €39,316, refere…
Digital Transformations of Traditional Work in the Nordic Countries

Struggle over employees psychological well-being. The politization and depolitization of the debate on employee mental health in the Finnish insurance sector
This article examines the emergence and evolution of the discourse on mental health problems as an occupational health risk in the professional debates among Finnish insurance workers from a historical perspective. Our findings indicate that the mental health discourse was influenced by organizational, cultural and political changes. We also found that the employee’s role and the power relations in the insurance sector influenced the way in which…
More than just hands
In this article, we study worker experiences of the labor process in Finnish industrial workplaces during the Fordist period from World War II to the 1970s. Using biographical material, we examine the ways in which workers utilized their emotions, teamwork skills and personal aspirations in the production process. We argue that many workplaces of the period were far less bureaucratic and rationalized than stereotypical images suggest. The efforts…
Health risks, social relations and class
In this article we examine the treatment of psychosocial risks in public occupational health discourse in Finnish newspaper and magazine articles between the 1960s and 2000s, using discourse analysis. Building on class theories, our aim is to investigate how class expectations have been linked with the redefinition of occupational health risks during this period. Our results suggest that as social relations at the workplace became problematised i…
Emergence of emotional management
This article analyses the increasing emphasis on emotions in management ideals by examining the changing qualities of the ideal manager in Finland in the post-Second World War era. We examined 1425 manager position job advertisements in the major Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat between 1949 and 2009. Our results show that emotional requirements were rather uncommon during the post-war era but that they became key characteristics in job advert…
