Marie Evertsson
Her main research interest is in gender inequalities in the home and in the labor market and the ways in which gender differences in one sphere influences the outcome in the other. A recent research grant from the Swedish Research Council provides her and colleagues (Katarina Boye, SOFI, Jenny Ahlberg, Örebro universitet and Christine Roman, Örebro universitet) with the opportunity to conduct a study focusing on parents expecting their first child. They want to learn more about how dual earner couples negotiate and decide about the division of paid and unpaid work and how these processes and outcomes differ across welfare regimes. This project called TransParent, is part of a cross-national collaboration, including Germany and the Netherlands.
