- Alternative entrance routes into higher education have been established in Sweden in order to facilitate the entrance of under-represented groups of students. The question is whether or not the additional entrance possibilities have served their purpose and, if so, to what extent. This is a longitudinal study using register data on one whole cohort, with the aim to follow these individuals’ educational careers up to university matriculation. The analyses simultaneously consider effects of gender and class. Results show that upper middle-class men are most successful in utilising every one of the additional entrance possibilities. The additional entrance possibilities have increased class bias in higher education even more, and the Swedish Scholastic Assessment Test, in particular, is an important contributor to this bias.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Högskolans expansion har varit mycket stor under 1990-talet och motiverades med ökat behov av högutbildad personal i det nya kunskapssamhället. Målet var att hälften av varje födelsekohort skulle skaffa sig en högskoleutbildning, nya grupper av studerande skulle lockas till högskolan och därmed skulle jämställdheten mellan olika grupper öka. När högskolan byggdes ut kom den att omfatta en stor variation av utbildningar: generella, specifika och mer eller mindre prestigefyllda. Samtidigt medförde det att prestigen och den ekonomiska tryggheten som tidigare varit förbunden med en akademisk examen försvagades. Idag visar Högskoleverkets rapporter på att övergången till arbetslivet kan vara problematisk för en del akademiker. För vilka grupper av akademiker fungerar övergången bra och för vilka har det inte gått lika bra? Och vad kan vara orsak till olika utfall?

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- There is a general confidence in higher education as a means of creating a good position for the individual on the labour market. However, there might not be as a good correspondence between higher education studies and the employment as may be expected. Some academics may be forced to accept an employment with lower demands in order to not be out of work. They may also accept employments within quite another sector compared to what their studies aimed at (Alpin et al., 1998; Arnesen, 2000; Kivinen et al., 2000). How graduates from higher education establish themselves on the labour market has been studied in several research projects (e.g. Alpin et al., 1998; Arnesen, 2000; Einarsdóttir, 2002; Kivinen et al., 2000). In determining whether or not graduates have been “successful” in obtaining an employment that corresponds to their education, has usually been studied in economical terms. That is, the salary has been used as an indicator of whether or not there is a good match (e.g. Dolton & Vignoles, 2000; HSV, 2005, 2006a; e.g. Kler, 2005). This study does not consider the economic outcomes; it focuses on the match, whether or not the former higher education student has obtained an employment that corresponds to both the field and the level of their education. This is a large scale study that draws on Swedish register data and the results are interpreted separately for men and for women.

Matchande jobb för akademiker? [Matching Jobs for Higher Education Students?]

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- En debatt som förts i Sverige, och som verkar ganska allmän, bygger på tilltron till att akademiska studier skall leda till ett säkert och bra jobb. Samtidigt rapporteras det att akademiker arbetar som brevbärare eller busschaufförer (DN 2005). Hur kan detta hänga ihop? Den här artikeln försöker ge ett bidrag till förståelsen för hur matchning mellan högre utbildning och arbetsliv ser ut för några grupper av akademiker med yrkesexamen.

Selection into Post-Graduate Studies - Changing Trends?
- 2009

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, students from three different decades and their likelihood of choosing an academic career, or rather postgraduate studies, are analysed. Postgraduate studies are here seen as a necessary step for an academic career. The analyses cover different historical periods; from the time when students entered a selective university system to the present time of mass higher education. The point of departure is the changing university system internationally. This implies among others, changing student composition, what is considered as academic fields, new ways of funding the academic sector and a changing relation to society and the labour market (Epstein et al 2007; Yielder & Codling 2004). The notion of the changing student composition has led to a “fear” that the sector will become feminized (Leathwood & Read, 2009; Chrapkowska, 2006) and that women soon will make the majority also in the leading positions. This paper is a description of the development in Sweden up to now with respect to the number of women entering postgraduate studies in different fields. It is an attempt to understand whether or not the “fears” are legitimate.
