- This final chapter of the book Scrutinising Polarisation summarises the main findings of upgrading and polarisation tendencies in the Swedish labour market, the mechanisms behind changes, which social categories are affected, and the significance of the Swedish industrial relation model. The chapter ends with a more general discussion by relating the concepts of value polarisation, bi-polarisation and social polarisation to the main results of the studies included in this book.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter deals with the consequences of occupational polarisation in terms of changes in trade union membership levels and attitudes towards unions. The aim is to explore whether such changes have occurred, among which categories, and to what extent they are related to institutional changes in the Swedish industrial relations system. The chapter describes the main institutional changes: the decentralisation of wage formation, and the changes in both the unemployment insurance funds and the regulation of employment forms during the period from the mid-1980s to 2010. Against this background, the chapter analyses the change in union density among different groups on the Swedish labour market. The focus then turns to changes in attitudes to trade unions, based on surveys conducted in 1997, 2006 and 2018. The analyses focus on whether employees prefer to negotiate wages individually or collectively through trade unions, and on what issues workers of different categories think trade unions should pursue.

- Occupations are at the core of the restructuring of labour markets. It is occupations that, due to technologisation, stand the risk of being fundamentally changed or even eliminated. Occupations are the ‘backbone’ of social stratification. Financial rewards, like wages and other benefits, and symbolic rewards in terms of recognition and prestige, define the ranking of occupations in the social order. This chapter explores polarisation based on changes in how employees are distributed across the occupational prestige hierarchy, as well as how changes in the labour market have affected the prestige of occupations. Drawing on quantitative data, the chapter shows some alterations and that, despite a narrowing of the occupational prestige range, the occupational prestige score stands strong. However, there are some upgrading tendencies for women’s employment, while there are signs of polarisation for men. The increase of women in high-prestige occupations seems to have affected the prestige scores, as the negative effect from the share of women has increased over time.

Polarised perceptions of occupational prestige?
- 2024

Ingår i: Scrutinising Polarisation. - Oxon : Routledge. - 9781003412861 ; , s. 73-86
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Polarisation, both in and of society, has been discussed not only in relation to outcomes in the labour market, but also in relation to opinions and attitudes. This chapter examines whether, and how, perceptions of occupational prestige have changed over time. Although perceptions of the prestige of occupations have proven to be a stable phenomenon, differences in perceptions may have increased in connection with technological changes in the labour market. Drawing on two survey studies conducted in Sweden in 2002 and 2018, this chapter scrutinises polarisation in perceptions of occupational prestige. The analysis showed only small dispersions in prestige perceptions over time and between social categories (sex, age and social class). The differences are too small and scattered to talk of any kind of polarisation. The main conclusion is that when it comes to perceptions of occupational status, we see no tendencies of either value polarisation or bi-polarisation.
