   Sammanfattning : Abstract The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to shed light on, explain, and problematize women’s and men’s paths both to and within the profession of engineer. Computer and mechanical engineers are in focus and the overarching issues that this thesis attempts to answer are: How can women’s and men’s paths to the profession of engineer be explained and what has governed/motivated their choice of education? How do women’s and men’s career patterns look in professional life, and how can these patterns be explained? This study is based on a social-constructivistic approach, entailing a focus on how choices of education and profession have been negotiated through social and cultural practices, norms, and values.

   Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis is the impact of computerisation in the Swedish insurance industry from a gender perspective. Do women, by using computers obtain a greater control over the company's organisation (does the new technology act as systems transforming) or are control and use separated according to the principles of the gender system (does the new technology act as systems preserving)? The overall question for this thesis is to ascertain whether it is occupational status or gender that is crucial for employees' experience of computerisation. LÄS MER
