There are many similarities between the US and the Nordic States because women
are mainly known to take on the role of the housekeeper. Also, they are very similar
because women receive less money than men even though they are doing the same
amount of work and have the same education. Even though these are inequalities,
this is how it has been for many years and both areas are trying to make progress in
improving the equality between men and women. In the end, both countries have a
lot of equality between men and women but they also have a few inequalities as
well that they are slowly trying to get rid of.
