🇸🇪 Even though Sweden ranks 5th in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report, the country has not reached equality — the gender pay gap was still 11.1% in 2022. 🔎 After spending their careers working on the gender pay gap, researchers Marie Trollvik, Anita Harriman and Lena Johansson set up a consultancy which they named Lönelotsarna (roughly translating as “the wage pilots”). ➡️ Their reports consistently find that those in female-dominated professions in Sweden get paid less than male-dominated ones. Lönelotsarna has also found that midwives earn significantly less than civil engineers, despite both jobs being in high demand and requiring similar levels of education, skills, responsibilities and working conditions. 🗣️ “In response to our data people always say, ‘Oh, it’s the market’. But our reports have proven that when there is a market need for female-dominated roles, these roles don’t see the pay increase that male-dominated roles do,” Trollvik says.
