Tidigare forskning har konstaterat att könsojämlikheten på arbetsmarknaden utgörs av fler aspekter än enbart löneskillnader, utan består även av betydande skillnader mellan kvinnor och män avseende andra arbetsvillkor. Denna kvantitativa studie undersöker ersättningsbarhet som en aspekt av könsojämlikhet och syftar till att studera hur kön samverkar med graden av ersättningsbarhet, relaterat till generellt och företagsspecifikt humankapital. Trots den begränsade forskningen kring ersättningsbarhet förväntar sig studien, med bakgrund i tidigare forsknings konstaterande avseende arbetsmarknadens könsojämlikhet, att det även finns en könsskillnad vad gäller ersättningsbarhet. Studiens hypotes är att män i högre utsträckning är svårare att ersätta än kvinnor i sina positioner på arbetsmarknaden. Analysen baseras på datamaterial från Levnadsnivåundersökningen 2010. Studien finner att kvinnor är mer utbytbara än män på arbetsmarknaden och därför verkar kön ha betydelse för en individs ersättningsbarhet. Varken utbildningsinriktning, utbildningsnivå eller arbetsmarknadsrelaterade faktorer kunde marginellt förklara denna könsskillnad, men största delen återstår oförklarad. För framtida forskning föreslås bland annat att vidare undersöka sambandet mellan kön och ersättningsbarhet för att identifiera vilka faktorer som faktiskt orsakar den påvisade könsskillnaden, förslagsvis inkludera de faktorer som studien bedömer saknas. Alternativt fortsätta studera individens subjektiva uppfattning om sin ersättningsbarhet i mer av ett mikroperspektiv.

Abstract Essay in political science, C-level, by Ellen Linde, spring semester 2007. Tutor: Susan Marton. “HIV and gender inequalities; a lethal combination? A study of the patriarchal dominance in the international discussion on HIV/AIDS” The purpose of this essay is to study to what extent a patriarchal discourse is present in the international discussion on how to best fight the spread of HIV/AIDS. To determine if a patriarchal discourse is present or not I have used a feminist theory on patriarchal dominance. I have concentrated on the United Nations resolutions about HIV/AIDS. My focus has particularly been on the meeting about the shaping of the last resolution in 2006 where the members states made statements about their opinions on the matter. I’m asking the question; Is there a patriarchal dominans in the countries statements about UN:s resolution about HIV/AIDS? The question is asked to three different groups of countries, catholic counties in Africa, catholic counties in Europe and non-catholic countries. My study shows that there is a strong tendency of patriarchal dominance in the statement from the catholic countries in Europe and an even stronger tendency in the statements from the catholic countries in Africa. That tendency could not be found in the statements from the non-catholic countries. The conclusion is that there are two discourses present in the international discussion on how to best fight the spread of HIV/AIDS, one patriarchal discourse and one non-patriarchal discourse. However, there can be no generalizations drawn from the results of this study because to few countries have been studied.
