About me

  • I am the Director and Deputy Head of the /ki.se/arc">Aging Research Center (ARC), where I've been working as a researcher since 2004. I currently have a position as Senior Lecturer within the Social Gerontology unit at ARC. 

  •  

  • Before joining ARC, I was working as a Junior Lecturer at the Swedish Institute for Social Research at Stockholm University. This is also where I 


  • conducted my PhD studies in Sociology. As of 2009 I'm an Associate Professor in Sociology.

     

  • Besides doing research, my work at ARC entails being the Principal Investigator for the SWEdish Panel Study of Living Conditions of the Oldest
    OLD (SWEOLD). SWEOLD is a longitudinal, nationally representative, interview survey of the oldest old in Sweden.

Research

  • My scientific research within the age and ageing areas is wide-ranging and can be categorized within the following areas:

     

  • Health status and health changes
    Intergenerational family transfers and support
    Health and health inequalities in late-life
    Social and economic living conditions
    Social participation and loneliness
    Long-term health effects of extending working life: Effects of raising 

  • lower and upper pension eligibility ages on later life health

     

  • A further focus of my research is the methodological challenges involved in studying the oldest old.
