This paper compares occupational change in Denmark, Norway and Sweden 2000-2015, a period of strong cyclical swings. While it demonstrates a clear pattern of polarization in Denmark, Norway shows an equally clear upgrading of the occupational structure, whereas developments in Sweden lie in-between the former two.
