2. Arbetsmarknadens jobbsammansättning, jobbpolarisering och tekniskt driven automatisering under Sveriges rekordår 1940–1970
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenSammanfattning : In this paper, I investigate changes in the job market composition during Sweden’s “Golden Age” between the end of WWII and the 1974 oil crisis to examine to which degree this reflects an earlier job polarization than previously thought and validates that era’s anxieties about automation.
