"The more free the genders are, the more they tend to polarise on certain careers."

Yeah, just calling a Scandinavian nation "free" says absolutely nothing about its particular societal pressures. Societal pressures which effect everyone whether they are egosyntonic or distonic to the individuals caught up in the society.

More evidence is needed to support this hypothesis.




I'm not sure biasing interviews towards certain genders is the way to fix that though.

Get more people apply, educate women about those options etc etc
