Captions Sweden takes equality seriously. And it is no accident that we have been ranked as the second-best country in the world to be located if you are a woman. 🥈
This ranking is from The Economist ’s annual glass ceiling index, which assesses where women have the best and worst chances of equal treatment at work in OECD countries.
The 2024 index sees Iceland in the top spot, and Norway, Finland, and France rounding out the top five. The Nordics continue to walk the talk on helping women complete university education, secure employment, and rise to senior positions, with policies that provide quality parental-leave systems and flexible work schedules a critical factor in driving equality in the labour force.
Gender equality benefits the economy, business, and individuals – let's continue to break that glass ceiling together! ⚒ 👊
