"In 2011, the Swedish Government asked the Swedish Work Environment Authority to develop specific initiatives aimed at preventing women from being excluded from working life due to work-related problems. As part of this task, the Work Environment Authority inspected almost 60 municipal authorities and compared the work environment conditions and organisational prerequisites in female- and male-dominated enterprises. The results were an eye-opener for all those involved in a variety of ways."
