RewhardNet 2024 was held at campus Albano in Stockholm on 9-10 September. Existing and new users of the infrastructure were invited to the conference. Almost 60 people had registered and the participants came from 12 different universities and authorities.
Different perspectives on work and health
The presentations provided interesting perspectives on women and men's working environment and the factors that can affect work, health and sickness absence in different occupations. The conference was also attended by Statistics Sweden, who informed about their data and the ongoing work with providing public use files.
Preview of upcoming book
We were also given a preview of the upcoming LNU book, which will challenge some common perceptions about welfare and inequalities in our time. The book will be based on data from the Level-of-Living survey (LNU) and is planned to be finalised in the winter of 2026.
Next year's user conference is planned to be held 8-9 September 2025. More information to come.
