    Senior Lecturer within the Social Gerontology unit at ARC.
    Before joining ARC, I was working as a Junior Lecturer at the Swedish
    Institute for Social Research at Stockholm University. This is also where I
    conducted my PhD studies in Sociology. As of 2009 I'm an Associate Professor
    in Sociology.
    Besides doing research, my work at ARC entails being the Principal
    Investigator for the SWEdish Panel Study of Living Conditions of the Oldest
    OLD (SWEOLD) [1]. SWEOLD is a longitudinal, nationally representative,
    interview survey of the oldest old in Sweden.

Research

  • My scientific research within the age and ageing areas is wide-ranging and
    can be categorized within the following areas:
    * Health status and health changes
    * Intergenerational transfers and support
    * Health and health inequalities in late-life
    * Social and economic living conditions
    * Social participation and loneliness
    * Long-term health effects of extending working life: Effects of raising
    lower and upper pension eligibility ages on
    A further focus of my research is the methodological challenges involved in
    studying the oldest old.
