My research focuses on ageing, social change and inequalities in later life, especially in relation to the changing contexts of late working life.

Social inequalities in retirement after extended working lives

PhD project within the research programme "Exclusion and Inequality in Late Working Life (EIWO)"

As the contexts of late working lives are changing, it is not fully clear how post-retirement inequalities evolve and how the change in post-retirement inequalities is related to macro-social change and shifts in life courses. My PhD thesis examines changing post-retirement inequalities in quality of life from a time- and country-comparative multilevel perspective.

I am a PhD student within the EIWO research programme ​and affiliated to the Swedish national graduate school on ageing and health (SWEAH).
