COMPRESSED − A longitudinal study of compressed work schedules within the health, care and welfare services
With increasing need for more workforce in the healthcare-sector, the offers of the future is reliant on how we precure sufficient staff and maintain the health of the workers.
Crossbow: Crossing and Managing Boundaries between Work and Non-Work – Co-creating Healthy Teleworking
In this project we aim to map, explore and understand the opportunities and challenges of telework, and to contribute to enhanced organizational preparedness for healthy, sustainable and productive teleworking.
Early COVID-19 wave in Norway: Social inequality in morbidity, compliance to non-pharmaceutical interventions and labour marked consequences (CorRisk)
Pandemics like COVID-19 are among the most pressing global threats to human life and economic security. The core idea of CorRisk is that infectious disease pandemics created by influenza or corona-viruses have always been more than just a medical problem and that their epidemiology and impact are profoundly shaped by social and economic structures. While the state of the art mainly studies medical risk factors, this project proposes to study the "forgotten" socioeconomic risk factors for unequal morbidity, compliance to the NPIs and labor market consequences.
Flex-IT – A mixed-method study of cross-domain information technology use in everyday life
The emergence of new technology has increasingly blurred the boundaries between work and family domains, and the consequences for the health and productivity of the labor force remains unknown. These contradictory perspectives make it important to understand to what extent, when and for who cross-domain IT use is healthy and/or unhealthy.
NEET: Preventing sick leave and marginalization in young adults
Despite the increasing costs of early school leaving and failures to integrate into the adult workforce, it is still unknown what the determinants to unhealthy school-to-work transitions are.
