Lernen ohne Lehrbuch im DaF-Unterricht : Initiierung eines Pilotprojekts in zwei mittelfinnischen Grundschulen
2012
Das Lernen des Deutschen in der Schule hat nicht nur in ganz Finnland, sondern auch in der Stadt Jyväskylä drastisch abgenommen. Um dieser Tendenz entgegenzuwirken, wurde Anfang 2010 in Jyväskylä ein nationales Pilotprojekt initiiert, das vom finnischen Zentralamt für Unterrichtswesen finanziert wurde. Zu den Zielen des Projekts gehörten die Entwicklung und Erforschung von Didaktik und Methodik im schulischen Fremdsprachenunterricht sowie des Fremdsprachenerwerbs des Deutschen. Speziell sollte der Einfluss authentischer Lehrmaterialien und authentischen Lernens auf die Motivation und Handlungsfähigkeit von A2-Lernenden untersucht werden. In Jyväskylä lernten ab Herbst 2010 in einem zweijähr…

Parenthood and gender inequality : Population-based evidence on the child penalty in Finland
2019
This study presents evidence on the effect of parenthood on labor market outcomes in Finland. We use population-based data drawn from administrative registers and an event study design centered around the birth of the first child using the specification proposed in Kleven et al. (2019b). The study confirms that women encounter large short- and long-term child penalties in gross labor earnings and that penalties are associated with employment participation. Taxes and social security transfers considerably reduce the child penalty, which also varies by the number of children. peerReviewed
'We have a solution': Delivering on the promise to take national responsibility for nuclear waste management
2022
We examine the realization of the umbrella promise to assume national responsibility for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. Three case studies are used to illustrate how Finland delivers on the promise to take care of its own nuclear waste - a promise that has greatly contributed to the legitimacy of nuclear power in Finland. The article shows how this promise is being challenged by new competitors, business visionaries, and the public. The case studies illustrate the tensions between those who made the promise and the actors who interpret and mobilize the promise for varying purposes and under changing circumstances. We investigate techno-scientific promises by looking at debates ab…
Like ships passing in the night? Nonstandard work schedules and spousal satisfaction in Finland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom
2020
This study examined the associations of work schedules and spousal satisfaction among Finnish (n = 347), Dutch (n = 304) and British (n = 337) parents. In addition to comparing parents with nonstandard schedule with parents in regular day work, the study examined separately the roles played in spousal satisfaction of morning, evening, night and weekend work and other working time-related variables (working hours, changes in and influence over one’s work schedules and spouse’s work schedule). The three-country data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with a multigroup procedure in Mplus. Little evidence for negative associations of work schedules and related factors with spousal…
Equal access to the top? Measuring selection into finnish academia
2019
In this article, we draw a parallel between equality of opportunity in educational transitions and equality of opportunity in academic careers. In both cases, many methodological problems can be ameliorated by the use of longitudinal rather than cross-sectional data. We illustrate this point by using Finnish full-population register data to follow the educational and academic careers of the 1964–1966 birth cohorts from birth to the present day. We show how the Finnish professoriate is highly selected both in terms of parental background and in terms of gender. Individuals of different backgrounds differ greatly in the likelihood of completing different educational and academic transitions, …
