Att arbete är könskodat är väletablerat. Olika yrken, befattningar och arbetsuppgifter är könsmärkta/genuskodade, det vill säga antas vara mer eller mindre lämpade för ett visst kön (Acker, 1990). Likaså är arbetsmarknaden en del av att skapa och återskapa genusrelationer (McDowell, 1999, 2004). Arbetsmarknaden formas med andra ord av uppfattningar om könsspecifika ’lämpliga’ arbetsuppgifter, men den är också aktiv i att skapa dessa uppfattningar.
