- The Internet facilitates new practices of social interaction at a distance, enabling online co-presence and potentially relaxing social constraints on geographical mobility. Conceptualizing the role of online co-presence, we examine whether and how Internet-based social contacts influence young people’s pre-migration considerations and decision making. Empirically, we use survey data on 750 Swedish young adults and a follow-up study comprising 24 in-depth interviews. The main findings suggest that interregional migration is becoming less costly to the individual in social terms. Survey data indicate that extensive online contacts relax respondents’ perceived need for geographical proximity to family and friends. The qualitative study differentiates the implications of online co-presence: for some interviewees, online interaction reinforces thoughts of migration – either permanent or temporary – and increases perceived spatial flexibility and choice. For others, it can never really compensate for spatial proximity to family and friends.

- We explore changes in everyday togetherness among upcoming cohorts of older people by examining their shared time use during the day. Theoretically, we elaborate on the existential condition of being co-present with others when performing activities. We compare cohorts using data from Swedish time-use surveys conducted in 2000/2001 and 2010/2011. Results indicate that everyday togetherness clearly increased among the older old, including in-home and out-of-home forms of togetherness. These results remained when looking at cohabitants and single-living people separately, indicating a notable change in behaviour. Change was not as evident among the young old, and togetherness declined among the older middle-aged, possibly signalling more solitary aging among upcoming generations of pensioners. Besides by household composition, total time spent together was also affected by gender, retirement, geography, and Internet access. The findings establish a basis for exploring future post-pandemic trends in levels and forms of togetherness.

More at home, more alone? Youth, digital media and the everyday use of time and space

- © 2019 Elsevier Ltd From a joint temporal and socio-spatial perspective, we examine how young people's everyday lives integrate with the use of digital media. Conceptually, we complement a standard displacement approach by advancing the role of time-space priorities, time elasticities, and online/offline intersections. We use micro-level data concerning youth aged 15–24 years from the Swedish Time-Use Survey, 2010–2011. Using covariate analysis, we compare heavy, medium, and light digital media users on weekdays and weekends. The results contradict expectations of a homogenous group of ‘digital natives’, also showing that heavy use is still gendered. Heavy users generally spend more time at home, perform more activities alone, and travel less. Heavy use is associated with less time spent on outdoor activity and sports, socializing offline, and watching TV, and more time sleeping at night. Digital media use is highly elastic to available free time on weekdays, but is very differently prioritized on weekends.

New Telework, Time Pressure, and Time Use Control in Everyday Life
- 2019

Ingår i: Sustainability. - : MDPI AG. - 2071-1050. ; 11:11

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores how changing conditions for home-based telework affect the quality of life and social sustainability of workers in terms of time pressure and time use control in everyday life. Changing conditions concern the spread of telework to new types of jobs of a more routine character, involving new practices of unregulated work and anytime smartphone access. Empirically, we draw on survey data from a sample of 456 home-based teleworkers employed by six governmental agencies in Sweden. Results indicate that subjective time pressure is not associated with job type in terms of distinguishing between bounded case work and more independent analytical work. Time pressure is intensified by family-related factors, telework performed outside of working hours, and part-time work, and is moderated by the private use of smartphones. We find no significant associations between subjective time use control, job qualifications, and teleworking practice. Family situation and having small children at home reduce time use control. Also, high levels of smartphone use for work-related purposes are associated with reduced control
