The Broad Experience

Episode 192: Better in Scandinavia (re-release)


Listen Later

This time we're revisiting an episode about working women in the Nordic countries.


Scandinavia has a reputation for equality and excellent work/life balance. American women look enviously at these nations as they scrape together a short maternity leave or finish another 10-hour day. But here's the paradox: there are just as few women in powerful roles in Scandinavia as there are in the US. Three women in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark take us behind the scenes to find out why.
