Kvinnor och män märks : könsmärkning av arbete - en dold lärandeprocess = [Gendering of work and knowledge] : [sex-marking - a hidden learning-process]

Sammanfattning: The object of this thesis has been to increase knowledge on how sex marking of job tasks and jobs is constructed, and, based on that knowledge, to find ways and means of reaching real equality between the sexes in the labour market. Different factors are identified whiich are at play in the creation of women's and men's jobs i.e.- the sex marking process - and their function examined. The emphasis of the theoretical part is on gender, socialisation, immanent pedagogy, sexual division of labour and work organization. The empirical part contains three major separate studies. The studies represent three diferent approaches to the problem being explored : a register study on sex segregation, a questionnaire on representation of gender, work and qualities/skills, an interview study focusing individual's representations of the sex marking process.
