[Structural factors are greatly significant for an individual’s life chances and possibilities for an academic career. Basic factors include when one is born, where one is born and who one’s parents are, factors over which no person has any influence (Kvist et al. 2012, p. 4). As far as the first two are concerned, I was lucky: I was born in Sweden in 1940. Already at that time, Sweden was a democratic and comparatively developed, industrialized and rich country, and a country which over time became even more developed, industrialized and rich, partly because Sweden had the economic advantage of not having participated in the Second World War. As far as my parents are concerned, I was not fortunate to the same extent, which is discussed below. Regarding the three factors mentioned above over which you have no control could be added whether you are born as a boy or a girl.1 Women’s possibility of becoming a professor is still smaller than men’s; only about 20 per cent of the professors in Sweden are women.]
