Abstract
How robust are the Scandinavian models of women's labour market integration at a time of increasing external pressures? Scandinavia has had the record of the highest employment rates among women in the industrialized world, which has traditionally been explained by Scandinavian countries' particular political-institutional models. This article analyses continuity and change in gender divisions in employment, unemployment and flexible work forms in Denmark, Norway and Sweden in the turbulent 1990s, and discusses these patterns in relation to (re)configurations of policy frameworks.Keywords
