Women’s agency can be defined as the ability to act for yourself, to change the situation for you or for others. This is increasingly important when it comes to women suffering from domestic violence, who are often associated with assumptions of weakness and powerlessness. The professional’s response and support are therefore essential in the process of change for women. The aim of this study was

Inom den arbetsmarknadspolitiska verksamheten är begreppen arbetslös och företagare, samt deras förhållande till varandra, inte närmre definierat i författning. Detta trots att en individs arbetslöshet ofta är ett krav för att få del av stöd och insatser inom denna verksamhet. Att bedöma när en individ är arbetslös är vidare särskilt problematiskt i de fall individen har företagsengagemang. I uppWhen discussing labor market policy activities, the definitions for unemployed and business owner, and their relationship to each other, are not clearly defined in the statute. This in spite of an individual’s unemployment often being a requirement to qualify for support and measures within these activities. To assess whether an individual is unemployed or not is particularly difficult in cases wh

With increasing urbanisation, cities face unique sustainability challenges and opportunities. The sharing economy emerges as a promising solution that can foster more efficient and circular use of urban resources through car sharing, accommodation rentals and the sharing of physical goods.
