About

The following visualisations are part of a pilot project for research on the economic history of youth jobs in Sweden, and as they are highly preliminary. The underlying data is gathered from the Swedish National Library’s newspaper database and an excerpt of most commin jobtitles among boys and girls (15-19 years old) from SwedPop.

In order to narrow down the search from all text to adverts we limited the queries to titles appearing within 5 words of “SÖKES”, “PLATS”, “ERHÅLLES”. While this narrows down the results a lot, the number of hits is still based on page-level – if a title is advertised several times on the same page, it only counts once.

1906 - is marked on all time-series plots. Its imporance relates to the contents of the database and the underlying digitization process. The number of digitized pages falls sharply for material published after 1906, which poses limitations on the conclusions we can draw from this data.
