My
research interests are broadly around issues concerning cross-national
comparative analysis of welfare states and their labour markets. My main focus
in on job demands and resources and national policies to see how they impact
individuals’ capabilities to tackle issues confronted in the spheres of work
and life.
Some key questions include; the impact of social and labour market policies on the level of work-family conflict of individuals, role of worker-centred working-time flexibility and job autonomy in facilitating individuals to balance work with other aspects of life, subjective employment and income insecurity of individuals and the impact of national policy structures or other socio-economic factors. In addition, I am interested in the gender dimension of these questions.
My main research method is quantitative data analysis using cross-national/European data with multi-level modelling techniques, but I also use qualitative methods including interviews and policy analyses.
