Gender equality has been one of the normative foundations of Nordic welfare states. Helga Hernes identified the Nordic countries as ‘potentially women-friendly societies’. She characterised women-friendly societies as ones that ‘would not force harder choices on women than on men’. Hernes also envisaged that women-friendliness should be achieved without increasing other forms of inequality, such as class inequality.
