Distansarbetet har inneburit en förändring av arbetslivet. Då distansarbetet till stor del sker hemifrån resulterar det i att arbetssfären (första skiftet) och icke-arbetssfären i form av hushållsarbete (andra skiftet) integreras allt mer. Tidigare forskning påvisar att kvinnor upplever ett ansvar över både hushållsarbetet samt planerandet av detta (tredje skiftet), vilket i sin tur påverkar deras

Folkbiblioteken i Sverige har ett lagstadgat uppdrag att bidra till en stärkt demokrati genom kunskapsförmedling och fri åsiktsbildning.

Det är förbjudet för en arbetsgivare att utsätta en arbetstagare, arbetssökande etc. för diskriminering eller repressalier i samband med personens sexuella läggning. Detta framkommer både i EU-rätten och i den nationella rätten. Sexuell läggning definieras i diskrimineringslagen som “homosexuell, bisexuell eller heterosexuell läggning”. Definitionen togs fram till den tidigare lagen (1999:133) om It is forbidden for an employer to expose an employee, jobseeker, etc. to discrimination or retaliation in connection with the person's sexual orientation. This is reflected in both EU law and national law. Sexual orientation is defined in the Discrimination Act as "homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual orientation". The definition was developed in the previous law (1999: 133) on the
