In this essay I study how ideas of people with disability-issues and their relationship to the labor market takes form in the Swedish politics of functional limitation. There has been some modification within the concept of disability-issues and functional limitations that people either can have or experience in their surroundings. In this essay I also ask the question if there has been some change in the ideas of people with disability-issues and their relationship to the labor market in the Swedish politics of functional limitation along with the modification of the concept of disability-issues and functional limitations. To fulfill the purpose with this essay I am using a discourse analytic method based on ideas from social constructivism. In my research I am analyzing two documents, one from before the modification of the concepts and one from the time after. To analyze these two documents I am using the analytic tool problem – reason – solution, inspired by Ulf Mörkenstam.  The result show us that the ideas of the relationship to the labor market for people with disability-issues are very similar within these two documents. Even though they from some points starts from different line of thoughts, they both end up with giving the idea that this group of people have a difficult situation on the labor market, they do not participate on the labor market on same conditions as other people and they suffer with difficulty in the competitive strength together with other people on the labor market.

Begreppet anställningsbarhet förekommer allt mer på den svenska arbetsmarknaden där det hänvisar till en individs möjlighet att få en anställning såväl som förmågan att förbli anställd. Det är upp till den enskilde individen att förbli anställningsbar och att utbilda sig är ett sätt att göra sig attraktiv på arbetsmarknaden. Syftet med denna studie är att belysa ett urval av personalvetarstudenters upplevelser av begreppet anställningsbarhet. I studien undersöktes hur snart nyexaminerade personalvetarstudenter resonerar kring sin egen anställningsbarhet samt huruvida utbildning bidrar till att öka deras anställningsbarhet. Metoden som tillämpades var kvalitativ och vi utgick ifrån en semistrukturerad intervjuguide. Resultatet påvisade av studenterna generellt sätt definierar anställningsbarhet som “någon värd att anställa” och samtliga studenter framhöll utbildning som avgörande för en individs anställningsbarhet. Studenterna menade dock att utbildning inte räcker för att göra en individ attraktiv på arbetsmarknaden utan betonade betydelsen av relevant arbetslivserfarenhet samt personliga egenskaper som social kompetens och flexibilitet.

Grown-up people with mentally retardation. Authors: Hansen Mikael & Sjöberg Marita Instructor of study: Antonson Sivert ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to try tofind out how persons with mentally retardation, working in the municipally daily activities develop and participate in everyday life. We especially want to find explanations for why there are so few among the retarded persons who are taking part in the regularly labour market. What will the instructor within the municipally activities achieve with his/her work? In what way will a retarded person have a possibility to participate in society and to take part in daily activities? Trough observations and semi structured interviews havr information and experience been collected. The analysis model has been constituted by legal rules and the concept of participation. Our results show that an instructor within the municipally activities wants a retarded person to develop towards an independent life. To grow towards an independent life the person should use their ability to self-determination. To help the retarded person the instructor, staff and relatives work together. The mentally retardation person should have the opportunity for involvement and growth in a relaxing environment. You grow and feel involved when doing things together. The social companionship is an important part of the daily activities. However we, as inquirers can not see that the instructors work with the goal that retarded persons are prepared for a place in the regularly labour market. The conclusion of this work is that the step from daily activities to a work in the open labour market is long. It seams to be far from life inside the daily activities to a working life outside. There is no bridge for people within the daily activities out on regular labour market. Supported employment might be an alternative for retarded individuals to attain a position within the regularly working market.

Mycket forskning har bedrivits om könslöneskillnader på arbetsmarknaden, så väl i Sverige som internationellt. Att kvinnor generellt sett har lägre lön än män är ett välkänt faktum och det har framförts en rad teorier till orsaken. Det har dock inte genomförts lika många studier rörande löneförmåner och detta har heller inte studerats på ett nordiskt material under senare år. Resultat ifrån nordisk forskning som genomfördes på data från år 1989 tyder på att könslönegapet riskerar att underskattas om löneförmåner inte inkluderas i lönemätningen. Dock indikerar forskningsresultat från USA snarare att könslöneskillnader överskattas om löneförmåner ej inkluderas i analysen. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka eventuella könsskillnader i löneförmåner på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Detta görs utifrån två frågeställningar; (1) Finns det en könsskillnad i sannolikheten att ha förmåner, och hur ser den i så fall ut? (2) Kvarstår en eventuell könsskillnad vid kontroll för lön och faktorer som i tidigare forskning tillskrivits betydelse för könslönegapet på arbetsmarknaden?Datamaterialet som studien grundar sig på kommer från Levnadsnivåundersökningen (LNU) 2000 och analyseras med logistisk regressionsanalys. I analyserna ingår 2867 individer. Resultaten indikerar att det finns en könsskillnad på den svenska arbetsmarknaden avseende löneförmåner då kvinnor har en signifikant lägre sannolikhet att ha löneförmåner. Könsskillnaden består, men minskar i omfattning, vid kontroll för andra faktorer. Vidare visar resultaten att arbetsledande position, hög lön och anställning inom den privata sektorn har en positiv påverkan på sannolikheten att ha löneförmåner. Det föreligger även en signifikant negativ interaktion mellan variablerna kvinna och offentlig sektor. Fördelningen av löneförmåner tycks således följa samma mönster som för könslöneskillnader, där kvinnor, speciellt i den offentliga sektorn, tenderar att ha både lägre löner och färre förmåner.
