Women in the labyrinths of working life and power

Women are not fighting a glass ceiling which can be broken once and for all, says Torild Skard who has studied how women gain power. It is more like a labyrinth, where women must take detours, turn back and go down partly hidden paths. The Nordic Labour Journal examines how gender equality can be improved in the labour market. There are major consequences - a man’s life earnings is two million Swedish kronor (€241.000) more than a woman’s, according to the new Swedish gender equality survey. Many countries are very reluctant to introduce quotas, but Nordic women did at least increase their power somewhat over the past year, according to the NLJ’s gender equality barometer.
