Charlotta Stern is the CEO of Ratio Institute (since September 2021).

She is also a Professor of Sociology at Stockholm University, specializing in work and organizations (appointed in 2019). At the university, she teaches the course “Sociology as Science” in the first-year sociology program and serves as co-director of the bachelor’s program Personnel, Work, and Organization (PAO), hosted by the Department of Education.

Stern’s research primarily focuses on the Swedish labor market and is conducted within Ratio’s Labor Market Program, where she is the principal investigator (PI). Her academic work includes studies on the merits of local wage-setting dynamics and the unintended consequences of Sweden’s strict labor market protection.
