For starters, women are in a great position in the labor market compared to women in other countries, even western ones. In addition, the people have good access to healthcare and education which is often regulated through taxes and is accessible to all social classes. They also have a good welfare system so the people who are having trouble in their life can get help until they fix their lives.

The government of Sweden makes equality in education a priority. A majority of women work, and there is a minimal pay gap between men and women. 31% of publicly traded companies are headed by women. Women are also highly represented in government, making Sweden the most equal society.
