"One reason for the poor Nordic performance at higher corporate levels is high taxes, which limits the amount of household services supplied through markets. If it is harder to hire someone to do the chores, that makes it harder for women to invest the time to climb the career ladder."
This is just so goddamn laughable. Again we come back to the implication that women are the de-facto owners of housework.
[1] just shows that in countries where people tell children the meaningless platitude of "girls aren't any different than boys" without treating girls and boys differently there's no change. An increase in anxiety there makes perfect sense -- at least if I'm told I'm bad at something I don't have to stress out about why I'm inferior.
[2] Just like everyone reasonable has been saying for decades, paid leave for women isn't the only metric you should be looking at. Creating a disparity in paid leave for women and men again creates a default assumption of women as caregivers. It also determines workplace reentry. In this sense, rather than pushing for extended maternal leave in the U.S., we should be pushing for equal paternity leave.
[3] This is not a measure of getting women into computing, it's a proxy. Having been to the middle east I can tell you that college graduation rates are not a good metric to determine how many women are in the workforce. I'd say nearly half of the women (middle - upper middle class) had engineering degrees. Just about none of them had jobs, especially in rural areas. It's a piece of paper that increases your eligibility for marriage -- "look my wife has a CS degree, she's very smart, but she doesn't have to work".
