“…Endvidere tager kvinder laengere barsel end maend, om end der er en aendring at spore saerligt i de af de nordiske lande, der har øremaerket barsel til maend (Jacobsen, Klynge & Holt 2013). Muligheden for at få deltidsarbejde og gode barselsvilkår findes isaer i den kvindedominerede offentlige sektor (Drange & Egeland 2014;Borchorst 2010). Ansatte i den offentlige sektor har således nogle formelle rettigheder og muligheder, som i nogle tilfaelde adskiller sig fra de formelle rettigheder og muligheder i den private sektor.…”

Malene Rode LarsenCand.scient.pol., analytiker ved SFI -det nationale forskningscenter for velfaerd mrl@sfi.dk SAMMENFATNING I denne artikel undersøges, om sektorplaceringen er forskellig blandt kvinder og maend med samme uddannelsesmaessige baggrund. Resultaterne viser, at de to køn -trods samme uddannelse -placerer sig systematisk forskelligt på arbejdsmarkedet: Maend er mere tilbø-jelige til at vaere beskaeftiget i den private sektor end kvinder. For nogle uddannelser opstår kønsforskellen umiddelbart efter endt uddannelse, mens den for andre uddannelser først opstår i de efterfølgende år. Forskellige (forestillinger om) sektorspecifikke arbejdsvilkår kan ifølge resultaterne i denne artikel vaere en af forklaringerne på kønsopdelingen på arbejdsmarkedet. Artiklen tager afsaet i resultater fra Larsen, Holt & Larsen (2016). ABSTRACTIn examining whether choice of sector differs between men and women who have the same educational background, we find that job position differs systematically, with men more inclined than women to work in the private sector. For some types of education, the difference manifests itself right after completion of education, while for others this occurs only in subsequent years. According to our results, different (expectations about) sector-specific working conditions might be one of the explanations behind gender segregation in the labour market.

“…Finland differs from other Nordic countries despite high levels of GE at the societal level. Part-time employment is considerably lower in Finland than in the other Nordic countries (Drange and Egeland, 2014), which may also at least partially explain the lower levels of WFE for Finland in our analysis. Thus availability of part-time work and prevalence of the one and a half rather than dual earner family model appear to contribute to the explanation of our findings.…”

“…Hence, the observed impact of gender equality at the societal level may be associated with greater availability of part-time work in high-GE countries. These part-time jobs are largely taken up by women, leading to the prevalence of one and a half earner families in these countries (Den Dulk and Yerkes, 2016;Drange and Egeland, 2014;Yerkes and Visser, 2006). Working part-time may allow women to spend more time with family members, thereby providing more opportunities to transfer resources between the domains and facilitating higher levels of WFE.…”

All social roles have positive and rewarding as well as negative or problematic aspects. Research on the work-family interface has predominantly focused on conflicting roles. In contrast, this paper extends research on work-family enrichment (WFE), a positive aspect of work, and gender differences in WFE in a cross-national context. Drawing upon social role theory and the culture sensitive theory on work-family enrichment, we examined gender differences in experiences of developmental WFE in a sample of service sector employees in eight European countries. In line with traditional gender roles, women reported more WFE than men. The * This article

“…However, some countries have a much higher proportion of women in part-time work than others. Some of the reasons for this disparity are presented, particularly in the second report, in which Drange & Egeland (2014) find that the reasons for parttime work are highly complex. The authors draw attention to similarities and differences between the countries that may explain the pattern of women's part-time work across the region.…”
