We have analyzed the program both from quantitative and</p><p>qualitative aspects. In the quantitative analysis of twelve episodes we compared females and</p><p>males in the following respects: number of participants and for how long the participants were</p><p>allowed to speak. In the qualitative analysis of three episodes we aimed to discover what</p><p>different roles and stereotypes the participants displayed.</p><p>We have in our study applied the theory about gender and the theory of representation,</p><p>stereotypes and identity with the aim to find out if the girls/women and the boys/men</p><p>appearing in the programs were ascribed different characteristics and attributes and if they</p><p>were divided in different spheres.</p><p>Our study shows that the allotment between the genders in Lilla Aktuellt is very even. In our</p><p>quantitative analysis the participants were approximately 51 percent girls and women and 49</p><p>percent boys and men. The same allocation between females and males applied when it came</p><p>to for how long the participants were allowed to speak. In our qualitative analysis we found</p><p>that the children and the adults did represent different stereotypes and played different roles</p><p>but that there were hardly any differences in this respect between the genders.</p>
