Abstract [en]
In 2018, a follow-up study of a 2015 study on the prevalence of gambling in Sweden indicated that women were in the majority among problem gamblers. This suggests a change in the gendering of gambling in Sweden. However, no such change is recognized in help-seeking data. This raises questions: are women in the majority among problem gamblers? If so, what is the significance of this? In this chapter, we discuss gender and gambling in Sweden, giving an overview of recent developments. We argue for a deepened engagement with gender, the gendering of gambling, and a greater methodological diversity within gambling research.
