It could also be that Sweden just gives more pay to "women's work", in this way encouraging women to stay in their lane instead of going to other fields that can be more profitable and are reserved to men.
It could also be that the western stereotype of women being dumb with maths is just a western stereotype which has only effect in the West, and no such effect outside of the West.
It is also incorrect to assume that Scandinavia is a gender-equal paradise where everything is solved. They might have good parental leave for both mothers and fathers, but that doesn't mean that they don't assign specific fields to a specific gender.

Welcome to /o/STEM! This circle is dedicated to science, technology, engineering, maths, and medicine, where you can discuss all things STEM, seek career advice, share learning resources, and pose “ask an expert” questions to the Ovarit STEM community.
Please provide a descriptive title for your posts and add a flair that best describes your post topic. We encourage posters to add links to relevant articles or research papers in their posts and comments.
Since our focus is on STEM, posts should not be focused on politics, ethics, or philosophy. Any discussion on popular science or medicine (to include COVID-19) must be based on scientific principles and research.
This is also not the place to discuss diet, lifestyle, alternative medicine, or psychology. For these topics please check out o/women which is a general discussion circle and o/womenshealthlounge which is a support sub for health issues.
No conspiracy theories, no quackery, no spamming, and no politically charged posts. The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
Any posts that fail to meet the criteria provided above may be removed.
