- The Academic Profession in Swedish Higher Education: Continuity and Change inthe New CenturyThe purpose of this article is to describe the composition and internal stratificationof the university teaching staff at Swedish higher education institutions. We showthat four fault lines shape the higher education field in the 21st century. These are,firstly, the resource hierarchies both between old and new higher education institutionsand between the fields of science, and, secondly, the prestige hierarchybetween research and teaching staff categories and between the senior lecturers’conditions of existence in the center of the system and its periphery. We argue thatit is necessary to analyze how these stratification lines have come into place to understandhow they work and interact with each other, and how they have partially reinforcedeach other, but at the same time have left room for a transformation of theuniversity teachers’ conditions across the university system.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this paper we will present data from a case study, including four occupations, which represent different levels of professionalism, in terms of their professional autonomy, their scientific-cognitive bases, and their degree of subordination to the logics of management and bureaucracy within the organisations where they perform their tasks. The occupations chosen are social workers, human resource management personnel (HRM), policemen and sport managers (CSM). Two of these are exclusively employed in the public sector (policemen and social workers) and two are employed mainly in the non-public sectors (HRM and CSM). Two groups are trained in well-established professional programs in the Swedish university system (social work and HRM) while the training of the other two (police and CSM) are new to the University system. The aim of the study focuses on the dilemmas of professionalism linked to the processes of making different occupational groups more academic. We will discuss key aspects of these occupations within a framework of the structure of the Swedish Professional Landscape. We focus on the similarities and differences among them, shaped by their different levels of acquired professionalism, their control over occupational niches, their perceived identity as an occupation/profession and the character of the scientific-cognitive basis for each group. The case study consists of the four occupations described above and is based on (small) surveys of students. They participated in the study as a) students in the beginning of their studies, and as b) working in their different occupations after taken their degrees. As a complement to the surveys a number of in – depth interviews has been conducted focusing the experiences of being and becoming a professional.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I en efterskrift till boken ”Arbetararistokratin. En begreppsarkeologi” resonerar jag kring varför begreppet ”arbetararistokrati” en gång tycktes värt att analysera så pass ingående som jag gjorde. Jag anför däri 1960- och 1970-talens livaktiga samhällsvetenskapliga forskning och diskussion om arbetarklassens förborgerligande och avradikalisering. Det övergripande problem som framträder är förhållandet mellan social skiktning och politiskt-ideologiskt ställningstagande. I efterskriften ger jag också en kort översikt av hur begreppet kommit att användas under senare år.

Age, Work and Retirement in Sweden – Views, Policies and Strategies of key Actors. An Overview of Work, Pensions and Early Exit as well as State Policies and Employer Strategies Towards the Older Workforce. : Background Paper on the Swedish case for the ‘Millennium Project’ Conference in Tokyo, November 29th -30th 2001, organised by the Japan Institute of Labour
- 2002
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Swedish government’s official policy during the entire post-war period has been to promote employment up to the ordinary retirement age. The central labour market organisations have supported that policy. However, policy on the firm level has been different. Many firms have tried to influence their older workers to leave early. A combination of support from social insurance and occupational insurance schemes and directly from the firms has been used to persuade older workers (and the local unions) to waive their rights to employment, which they have according to the seniority principle. This locally engineered policy found support among employers, local unions and older workers as well. During the 1990s Sweden experienced a gradual decline in labour force participation. The decline in labour force participation led to initiatives from the government to influence the employment policy of the firms. The government has continued and in several ways recently strengthened its policy to counteract early retirement. However, the extent of early exit has increased.

Ageing and Work in Sweden : Background Paper on Sweden, presented for the ‘Millennium Project’ conference in Tokyo, December 4th -6th, 2000, organized by the Japanese Ministry of Labour

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sweden experienced a dramatic shakeout of the older workforce in the first half of the 1990s as part of the economic crisis 1991-94. The labour force participation rates and, even more pronounced the employment rates for the older workforce sank dramatically. However, when the Swedish economy recovered in the latter half of the 1990s the employment rates for the older workers, both for men and women, did not return to the former rather high levels.Today the relatively low employment rates of the older workers are regarded as a major social and economic problem in Swedish society in three ways.First, it is seen a cost problem. Unemployment insurance and other kinds of social insurance schemes for those that retired “too early” are expensive and regarded as a heavy burden (i.e. cost) on society.Secondly it is seen as a problem of changing norms. The Swedish labour market and social policy regime is built around the “work line”, the axis around which economic growth as well as the character of welfare provision is constructed. A long period of falling employment rates in the older workforce can lead - and is already being seen as having led to - a change in the perception of the normal retirement age, that is the expected effective retirement age.The average effective retirement age in Sweden is judged to be around 61 years (although many experts argue for a figure of 59 years). A recent poll among the 45-60 age group showed that a clear majority in this group wanted to retire at 60-61 years (SIFO 2000). This normative change is regarded as problematic and potentially dangerous since it will influence the behaviour of the older workforce as well as the attitudes of the employers towards ageing workers.Thirdly, it is increasingly seen as a problem for the economic growth in Sweden. Long-term economic forecasts envisage a growth in the labour force in Sweden, which for demographic reasons have to take the form of increasing employment rates among the older workforce. This long-term bottleneck problem in the Swedish economy gives rise to proposals to change the pension systems (the public as well as occupational systems) and to make entry into the disability pension schemes more difficult. A series of measures is proposed to make it more difficult for older workers to enter the different social insurance schemes, i.e. those schemes that make early exit possible.

Högskoleutbildning, yrke och profession

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I boken Med sikte på profession redovisas data från ”Femklöverprojektet”. Femklövern har följt studenter på fem akademiska yrkesutbildningar vid Linnéuniversitetet, från att de började sina studier fram till deras första två år i yrkeslivet. De utbildade sig till poliser, socionomer, personalvetare, bibliotekarier och idrottscoacher.De fem utbildningsprogrammen har i olika grad ambitionen att bli professionsutbildningar och vetter dels mot ämnesstudier, dels mot det direkt yrkesförberedande. Spänningen mellan universitetets krav och arbetsmarknadens förväntningar präglar både studiernas uppläggning och studenternas studiemotiv, men också hur studenterna uppfattar studiernas relevans för det yrkesliv som de ser framför sig. Ett viktigt tema är i vilken utsträckning yrkesutbildningarna förmedlat professionella inslag och förhållningssätt och hur dessa utvecklas under utbildningen och i arbetslivet. Vi har även strävat efter att fånga i vad mån programmens vetenskapliga bas har genomsyrat utbildningarna och i vilken grad studenterna tillägnat sig den. Författarna visar på en viktig trend i högskolans yrkesorienterade program. Allt fler utbildningsprogram som redan finns i högskolans regi utvecklar tydliga professionsanspråk. Samtidigt växer antalet yrkesorienterade utbildningar som vill nå högskolestatus. De resultat som här redovisas har därför betydelse och relevans långt utöver de fem yrkesutbildningar som ingick i Femklövern.
