Unequal Numbers

Sweden is supposed to be - and probably is - one of the most gender equal countries in the world. Yet,
  • Only 8% of companies controlled by the Gender Equality Ombudsman live up to the 13 year-old legal requirement to do a survey of salary levels once a year
  • Only 9 of the 296 companies on the stock exchange have a female CEO
And earlier in the week the media reported that the gender pay gap remains steady.

Sigh.
