abstract: 'In many respects, Sweden is maybe the country where public policies to
increase the equality between men and women have been most prolonged and
advanced. In 1996 the UN declared Sweden to be the most gender-equal
country in the world. However, women still take much more responsibility
for children and domestic work than men do, leading to the reproduction
of gender inequality in the labour market and in society at large. A
causal mechanism is used to analyse this phenomenon, starting from the
observation that men are on average three years older than women and
thus already have a stronger position on the labour market when a
heterosexual couple is formed. This increases the risk that the woman
will lose the first negotiations on how to divide household and wage
labour when they have children. This will in turn lead to increasing
returns for the man, increasing the risk that she will lose subsequent
negotiations about the division of labour. What seems to be a rational
arrangement for both (increasing the total income for the family)
results in the reproduction of gender inequality. The analysis shows
that gender inequality in a country like Sweden is reproduced behind the
backs of the agents.'
