Women's status Female succession to the throne of Denmark is only one of many examples of women's equal status with men. Danish women were given the vote in 1915. Equal pay was introduced as a principle at an early stage, and legislation prohibits advertisements directed solely to one of the sexes. A sign of the times is the growing number of women in the labour force, currently 89 women for every 100 males in employment. This trend has been stronger in Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia than elsewhere in the world. A condition for this development was the availability of child care services outside the home. In 1993, 75% of 3-6 year old children were in day care. Women's role on the labour market has fallen slightly more recently, since a growing number of young women have chosen higher education courses. Sexual role changes are statistically analyzed in Denmark. The most recent findings show that men have become more helpful in the home, generally taking over the less complicated tasks, like dish washing. |
