The project focuses on wealthy families and analyzes the significance of inherited property across multiple generations. Based on Sweden's richest families at the beginning of the 20th century, the project has mapped their economic conditions by combining family trees spanning four generations with economic data from estate inventories. The main data collection phase is now complete, and the project is entering a phase of processing, analysis, and writing.\n\nThe project offers new perspectives on economic inequality from a historical standpoint, which is a major research field both in Sweden and internationally. GLOW is part of the research node HEIRS at the History Institution, which is specifically focused on research on household economics, wealth, and inheritance. There is also an established seminar series in collaboration with the Institute of Economic History in Lund (the seminar \"Work & Livelihood\").\n\nWhat We Offer\nLund University is a state authority, which means you receive special benefits, generous vacation, and favorable occupational pension.
