  • From classroom to career – women and men stuck in old patterns

    Young women and men tend to make different educational choices as early as in upper-secondary school. These differences are also visible in working life, where many occupations have a strong female or male predominance. Only a small percentage of women and men find themselves in sectors with an equal sex distribution.

  • Women still work more part-time than men

    Women and men still have different opportunities and conditions when it comes to paid work, which in turn affect their economic independence throughout life. This is shown in todays publication of gender equality statistics based on statistics from the Swedish labour force survey.

  • Money, power and education – the statistics point to persistent inequalities

    The level of education is higher among women than among men. In spite of this, women have lower salaries, lower incomes and, eventually, lower pensions than men. Statistics also show that women feel more stressed than men as early as in school. These are but a few items you can read about in “Women and men in Sweden 2020,” which is being published today.
