About me
Michael Tåhlin is professor of sociology at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI), Stockholm University. He leads the Swedish Level of Living Surveys (LNU), together with Carina Mood. His research concerns patterns and explanations of social and economic inequality, in particular the level, distribution and development of individual resources and rewards in the labour market. He has published extensively in international journals and readers on topics such as class theory, wage inequality, skill demand and the impact of globalization on national labour markets. He is on the editorial boards of European Sociological Review and Social Forces and a member of the supervisory council of the recently established Swedish Authority of Work Environment Knowledge (MYNAK).
