1. 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. Drawing from individual income and occupational data from a representative sample of the Swedish population from the year 1940, 1950, 1960 and 1970 and using the Historical International Standard of Classification of Occupations (HISCO) to make the data sets comparable, I demonstrate a general decrease in the share of blue-collar professionals and a general increase in the share of white-collar professionals, as well as a transition from unskilled to semi-skilled and skilled jobs.

Few studies have been conducted on the regional level even though this perspective might better capture the development of income inequalities, since national averages might hide local differences.

4. Automation and job protection : Does automation slow down when employment protection is strong?
Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi och statistik (NS)Sammanfattning : We examine how speed of automation is affected by different employment protection regimes - one with lenient and one with stringent regulation.
