Regional differences in initial labour market conditions and dynamics in lifetime income trajectories.

We use longitudinal register data from Sweden to study patterns and dynamics in lifetime income trajectories. We examine divergences in these income trajectories by local economic conditions at labour market entry, in combination with other factors such as gender, education level and socio-economic background. We cannot assume that these relationships are constant over the course of individuals' working lives.

Marital status and risk of dementia: a nationwide population-based prospective study from Sweden.
