The aim of this project is to increase our understanding of the long-term health effects of hormone therapy given as part of gender-affirming care.

A multi-method approach to the transition to parenthood in different-sex and same-sex couples.

Parents' division of labor across contemporary families. The transition to parenthood is critical in producing and amplifying gender inequalities in work and family life. After parenthood, mothers take on the vast majority of childcare responsibilities. This project reveals sources of gender inequality in work and care after parenthood.

A comparative perspective on Swedish social policy to develop inclusive programmes for an extended working life

Challenges and opportunities in female-dominated occupations. This program aims to enhance our understanding of why women still fall behind men in terms of wages, careers, health and social recognition. What extent inequalities can be attributed to the fact that women tend to work in female dominated occupations and in “people-oriented jobs”?

The project investigates why women's sick leave rates increase more than men’s when they become parents. We compare adoptive and biological parents to study the importance of going through a pregnancy for the risk of needing sick leave. We also compare same-sex and different-sex couples with children to study the importance of gender norms.

The project's primary purpose is to increase the understanding of labor market and educational effects of gender transitioning on Swedish adults and youth whilst considering two theoretically specified contexts giving rise to oppression: one focused on gender and the other on being transgender.

This research program offers new and policy-relevant knowledge about labor market inclusion. The focus is on four demographic groups with particularly weak positions on the Swedish labor market: women, employees close to retirement age, people with an immigrant background, and transgender individuals.
