About me

Research description
In my research, I use an intersectional perspective and concern three main areas: 1) working conditions, work-life balance, time use and health; 2) women's access and possibilities in relation to the labour market; 3) contextual and policy aspects of the division of work and gender equality. I have a background working with the health economy and an interest also in societal costs.

Healthy Physician - prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD) among Swedish physicians, its antecedents and consequences.
The overall purpose of the project is to 1) identify the prevalence and experience of CMD among Swedish physicians, 2) explore factors contributing to CMD and 3) study the societal consequences related to physicians’ CMD.
We are currently conducting a study about physicians' experiences of working through the Covid-19 pandemic. Results are planned to be presented later in 2020.
Inequalities in health – a longitudinal study of the impact of conflict between working and private life for sickness absence in the Swedish working population
The aim of the project Inequalities in health is to study the impact of conflicting demands and enriching effects between working life and private life on inequalities in health in the Swedish working population. This will be done using the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH) and Swedish population registers (LISA and MiDAS).
