Retirement coordination in opposite-sex and same-sex married couples: Evidence from Swedish registers

Advances in Life Course Research, Volume 38, P. 22-36. doi.org/10.1016/j.alcr.2018.10.003. Abstract This study examines how married couples’ age differencesand gender dynamics influence retirement coordi outcomes of all marital couples in Sweden. Using , we find that the likelihood of couples retiring close in time decreases as their age difference increases but that age differences have a similar effect on retirement coordination for couples with larger age differences. Additionally, retirement coordination is largely gender-neutral in opposite-sex couples with age differences regardless of whether the male spouse is older. Additionally, male same-sex couples retire closer in time than both opposite-sex couples and female same-sex couples. The definition of retirement coordination as the number of years between retirements contributes to the literature on couples’ retirement behavior and allows us to study the degree of retirement coordination among all couples, including those with larger age differences.

“Time to Abandon Swedish Women”: Discursive Connections Between Misogyny and White Supremacy in Sweden

International Journal of Communication 18(2024) Abstract This article explores the discursive linkages between violent misogyny and violent rightwingextremism in the popular Swedish online discussion foranonymous and relatively unmoderated commenting. Empirically, it focuses on thearticulations of misogyny and anti-feminism mapped onto extreme right ideology includingwhite supremacism in user comments posted across 16 Flashback threads. To analyze theextensive data set, we first drew on a collocation analysis of user comments (N = 20,359)scraped from a strategic selection of threads. From this sample we chose 36 combinationsto be considered for a closer reading. In the second analytical step, critical discourseanalysis coupled with the Essex School’s logics approach helped us unpack the logics ofconspiracy and male entitlement, as well as the fantasmatic projections of Swedish womenas both “race traitors” and “victims” at the heart of extreme right discourse in and beyondSweden today.
