Low financial satisfaction in female partners can help explain why male unemployment is associated with partnership dissulution whereas financial satisfaction among men does not have similar implications.
Dette kommer fram i en rapport NOVA-forsker Morten Blekesaune har publisert ved University of Essex.
NOVA researcher Morten Blekesaune deals with the issue in a working paper report published at the University of Essex.
Når kvinner rapporterer om økonomiske problemer, gir dette større risiko for samlivsbrudd enn når menn rapporterer om det samme.
Does unemployment increase the risk of partnership dissolution?
Fører arbeidsledighet til økt risiko for oppløsning av parforhold?
Financial satisfaction The results indicate that unemployment increases the risk of partnership dissolution.
Økonomiske problemer Resultatene viser at arbeidsledighet øker risikoen for samlivsbrudd.
Female unemployment does not have smaller effect than male unemployment on the probability of marital breakdown, as indicated by previous Scandinavian research.
Arbeidsledighet hos kvinner har minst like sterk effekt som arbeidsledighet hos menn.
Low financial satisfaction in female partners can help explain why male unemployment is associated with partnership dissolution whereas financial satisfaction among men does not have similar implications.
Økonomiske problemer rapportert av kvinner kan forklare hvorfor arbeidsledighet blant deres menn fører til oppløsning av parforholdet.

‘I took the master programme in network and system administration because I’m interested in computer networks, routers and switches,’ says Fredrik, who took his final exam in 2015.
– Jeg tok masterstudiet i nettverks- og systemadministrasjon fordi jeg er interessert i datanettverk, rutere og switcher, sier Fredrik, som tok avsluttende eksamen i 2015.
‘Who is it suitable for?’
– Hvem kan det passe for?
‘It’s suitable for people with an interest in technology.
– Det passer bra for teknisk interesserte mennesker.
Not if you just think computers are fun, but if you really want to study it in depth.’
Ikke dem som synes det er litt gøy å holde på med data, men som virkelig vil gå i dybden på ting.
‘What educational background should you have before starting the master’s degree programme?’
– Hva slags utdannelse bør du ha før masterstudiet?
‘A computer engineering degree, for example, could be good, or computer studies combined with a lot of maths.’
– Dataingeniørutdanning kan være bra, for eksempel, ellers gjerne datastudier kombinert med mye matte.
‘There was loads of maths I was not prepared for, but I managed,’ says Fredrik, who had a bachelor’s degree in applied computer technology from Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences (HiOA) when he started the master’s programme.
– Det var massevis av matte på jeg ikke var så forberedt på, men som gikk greit likevel, sier Fredrik, som selv hadde bachelorstudiet i anvendt datateknologi fra Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus (HiOA) da han begynte på masterstudiet.
‘What advantages can the master’s degree give you in a job situation?’
– Hva slags fortrinn kan masterstudiet gi deg i arbeidslivet?
‘You become good at working independently and finding things out for yourself, because many of the courses on the programme contain assignments that you must solve yourself, with not much other than books and the internet to help you.’
– Du blir flink til å jobbe selvstendig og finne ut av ting på egenhånd, fordi mange av emnene på studiet inneholder oppgaver med mål som du skal løse selv, uten særlig hjelp av annet enn bøker og Internett.
‘Having a master’s degree is fairly common now, but this is a useful degree to have on your CV.’
– Det er ganske vanlig å ha mastergrad nå, men dette er en solid master å ha på CV-en.
‘What kind of jobs can you get with a master’s degree like this?’
– Hva slags jobb kan du få med en slik master?
‘You can work in IT management on troubleshooting, monitoring and automation in many different positions in different enterprises.
– Du kan jobbe innen IT-drift med feilsøking, overvåking og automatisering i mange forskjellige stillinger i forskjellige bedrifter.
And you can become a system administrator in a big company.’
Og du kan bli systemadministrator i store firmaer hvis du har denne masteren i bunnen.
‘Would you recommend the programme to others?’
– Vil du anbefale studiet til andre?
‘This is a very useful master’s degree to have, and I would recommend it.
– Masteren er veldig bra å ha, og jeg vil anbefale den.
But it’s quite a tough programme; I was on the verge of giving up at times.’
Men den er ganske tøff, til tider var jeg på kanten til å gi opp.
‘Where do you work now?’
– Hvor jobber du nå?
’I work for a small telecom company called Phonect, in the IP telephony business.
– Nå er jeg ansatt i et lite telecom-selskap, Phonect, som driver med IP-telefoni.
I work on IT management and I am involved in projects.
Jeg jobber med i IT-drift og i prosjekter der.
The skills I learnt on the master’s programme come in handy.’
Jeg har god bruk for ferdigheter jeg lærte i masterprogrammet.
‘What was the topic of your master’s thesis?’
– Hva skrev du masteroppgave om?
‘The topic of my thesis was efficient and cost-effective live migration of virtual machines.
– Jeg skrev om «live migration» av virtuelle maskiner, og optimalisering av det, med førsteamanuensene Anis Yazidi og Hårek Haugerud som veiledere.
Associate professors Anis Yazidi and Hårek Haugerud were my supervisors.’
– På HiOA hadde vi et eget rom med kodelås.
‘At HiOA, we had our own room with a code lock where I could sit by myself and not be interrupted,’ says Fredrik Ung.
Der kunne jeg sitte for meg selv uten å bli forstyrret, sier Fredrik Ung.
The master’s degree programme in network and system administration is run by UiO and HiOA jointly.
Masterstudiet i nettverks- og systemadministrasjon drives i samarbeid mellom UiO og HiOA.

So says Professor Weiqin Chen at the Department of Computer Science at HiOA.
Det sier professor Weiqin Chen ved Institutt for informasjonsteknologi.
‘The focus is often on those who face the biggest challenges when using ICT, for example people with severe visual impairment.
– Fokus blir ofte på de personene som gjerne møter de største utfordringene når de skal bruke IKT, for eksempel personer med sterk synsnedsettelse.
But in bright light, everyone has difficulties seeing things on the screen.’
Men i sterkt lys kan vi ikke se alt på skjermen noen av oss.
‘Other examples are noisy environments that make it difficult to hear sounds, when we want to send a quick text message while trying to catch the tram or while in a moving car.
– Andre eksempler er miljø med mye støy som gjør det vanskelig å høre lyd, når vi vil taste en rask melding på mobilen mens vi skal nå trikken eller sitter i en bil i bevegelse.
We are situationally disabled in many contexts.’
Vi er situasjons-funksjonshemmede i mange situasjoner.
The experience of disability is a universal human experience
Opplevelsen av funksjonshemming er en universell menneskelig erfaring.
‘People often have the wrong understanding that universal design is only for the disabled.
– Folk har en feilaktig oppfatning av at universell utforming bare er for funksjonshemmede.
The World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) acknowledges that every human being can experience a decrement in health and thereby experience some degree of disability.’
International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) av WHO (World Health Organisation) erkjenner at et hvert menneske kan oppleve en reduksjon i helse, og dermed oppleve noe funksjonshemming.
‘This is not something that only happens to a minority of humanity.
– Dette er ikke noe som skjer med bare et mindretall av menneskeheten.
The ICF recognises the experience of disability as a universal human experience.’
ICF anerkjenner opplevelsen av funksjonshemming som en universell menneskelig erfaring.
‘Developers of ICT systems should therefore think about all users in all situations.’
– De som utvikler IKT systemer bør derfor tenke på alle brukere i alle situasjoner.
‘Many people have a tendency to only think about users between 18 and 35, i.e., their own age group, when developing ICT systems.
– Mange har en tendens til bare å tenke på brukere fra 18 til 35 år, som dem selv, når de utvikler IKT systemer.
"Design for yourself", you could call it.
«Design for yourself», kan man kalle det.
This is not how it should be done.
Dette er feil.
Developers of ICT systems should think about all users in all situations.’
De som utvikler IKT system bør tenke på alle brukere i alle situasjoner.
‘But aren’t there many systems that cannot be used by everyone, but that are well suited for some?’
– Men det finnes jo mange systemer som ikke kan brukes av alle, men som passer godt for noen?
But if you’re developing an online banking system, for example, you need to consider all potential users and user situations.’
Men hvis du skal utvikle et nettbanksystem for eksempel, må du ta hensyn til alle potensielle brukere og brukssituasjoner.
‘To what extent is it a problem that ICT systems are not based on universal design?’
– I hvilken grad er det et problem at IKT-systemer er lite universelt utformet?
‘It’s a big problem.
– Det er et stort problem.
These systems create barriers in society that may exclude people from participating in work, education and social activities.’
Disse systemene skaper barrierer i samfunnet som kan ekskludere folk fra å delta i arbeid, utdanning og sosiale aktiviteter.
‘What is being done in ICT to ensure universal design?’
– Hvilke grep blir gjort i IKT for å få universell utforming?
If you’re developing software for mobile phones, either Android or iOS, there are also different guidelines you can use.’
Hvis du utvikler programvare for mobiltelefon, Android eller iOS, finnes det også ulike retningslinjer.
‘Norwegian legislation states that, from 1 July 2014 all new ICT solutions must be universally designed.
– Lovverket i Norge tilsier at alle nye IKT-løsninger som utvikles må være universelt utformet fra 1. juli 2014.
Existing solutions must comply with the requirements for universal design by 1 January 2021.
Eksisterende løsninger skal følge kravene om universell utforming innen 1. januar 2021.
‘How can more systems be universally designed?’
– Men hvordan kan flere systemer bli universelt utformet?
‘Designing and developing universally designed systems has become easier, but awareness and motivation are still lacking.’
– Det har blitt lettere å utforme og utvikle universelt utformede systemer, men det mangler bevissthet og motivasjon.
‘I want to refer to Frode Eika Sandnes’s book, Universell utforming av IKT, in which he states that it’s best to think about universal design from the very start , but very few do.
– Jeg vil referere til Frode Eika Sandnes sin bok, «Universell utforming av IKT», hvor han sier at det beste er å tenke universell utforming fra starten av , men det er det få som gjør.
When they later find out that they have to, it costs a lot more to change the system.’
Når de senere finner ut at de må gjøre det, koster det mye mer å endre systemet.
‘What more can be done to ensure universal design of ICT?’
– Kan man få gjort noe mer for å sikre universell utforming av IKT?
‘Education is important.
– Utdanning er viktig.
We have a Master’s degree programme in universal design of ICT, and a course at Bachelor level.
Vi har et masterprogram i universell utforming av IKT, og et kurs på bachelornivå.
Many Bachelor’s and Master’s students have carried out projects in this field.
Mange bachelor- og masterstudenter har hatt prosjekter i dette området.
We hope that the students will promulgate the knowledge.’
Vi håper at studentene bringer kunnskapen videre.
‘We are also involved in an EU Erasmus+ project, MOOCAP (MOOC Accessibility Partnership), in which we work together with eight other European universities on creating a series of MOOC courses (Massive Open Online Course) on the accessibility of ICT systems.
– I tillegg har vi et EU Erasmus+ prosjekt, MOOCAP (MOOC Accessibility Partnership) hvor vi jobber sammen med åtte andre europeiske universiteter for å lage en serie av MOOC-kurs (Massive Open Online Course) om tilgjengelighet av IKT-systemer.
The goal is to increase awareness and disseminate knowledge about universal design of ICT.’
Målet er å øke bevisstheten og formidle kunnskap om universell utforming av IKT.
‘I would like to refer to the learning outcome defined in the programme description.
– Jeg vil referere til læringsutbytte (learning outcome) i programplanen.
