Harsh times: do stressors lead to labor market losses?
2018
This paper examines the links between stressful life events and labor market outcomes. We use twin data for Finnish men and women combined with register-based individual information on earnings, employment and social income transfers. The twin data allow us to account for shared environmental and genetic confounders. We measure the exposure to stressful life events in 1990. The labor market outcomes are measured during a 20-year follow-up over the period 1990–2009. Three findings stand out. First, stressors lead to worse labor market outcomes. Second, both men and women are distressed by labor market shocks, but they respond differently to marital problems and health shocks within the famil…
Varieties of agencies during working life changes
2020
The aim of this study is to shed light on the varieties of workers´ agencies in working life change situations, which is an under-researched topic in the literature of workplace learning and in working life studies. The research questions are what kinds of agencies there are to be found when workers encounter changes and how the different kinds of agencies are connected together. The understanding of agency is grounded on the subject-centered socio-cultural approach, whereas the methodological approach is based on applying life-course perspective on research material consisting of 48 working life narratives written by Finnish adults. The narratives are analyzed by abductive content analysis…

The role of age and life course stage in digital consumption
2018
Digital technologies are an inherent part of consumer environments today. This dissertation investigates older adults’ usage of digital technologies by focusing on the role of age and life course stage in digital consumption in Finland. The dissertation applies theories of technology adoption and use, generations, and life course to examine older adults as digital consumers, the interrelationship between consumption and digital technologies and the effects of age and life course stage on digital consumption. The study utilises both quantitative and qualitative data from five (5) data sets. The results reveal that between the years 1999 and 2014, older adults reported more ecological and les…

Kadonnutta ääntä etsimässä eli rajatapauksia, valemuistoja ja fiktiivisiä tositarinoita
2020
Pohdin tutkimuksessani kirjoittamista rajankäyntinä sosiaalisen ja yksityisen välillä. Tarkastelen erityisesti kirjoittamisen suhdetta omaelämäkerralliseen kerrontaan, queer-identiteetin käsitteeseen sekä metaforisen kaapin epistemologiaan. Tutkielmani on taiteellinen tutkimus, jossa tutkimukselliset jaksot limittyvät taideproosaan ja jossa hajonneet kirjoittajan ääneni käyvät vuoropuhelua tutkimuskirjallisuuden kanssa. Tutkimusaiheeni kontekstina toimii valtio, jossa olen rikollinen homoseksuaalisuuteni vuoksi; olen palannut kirjaimellisesti takaisin kaappiin kirjoittamaan ja tutkimaan tuota omaa kirjoittamistani. Jakolinja lain kirjaimen, sosiaalisten normien sekä niistä poikkeavan elämän…
