Women in Parliaments

Here is the updated World Classification. Sweden is still second with 45.3% of course. But where in the world is the U.S., or indeed Israel? You’ll have to scroll way down to place 69 and 70 respectively to find them. The Congressional Research Service usually denotes these figures as being “record numbers.” A mediocre result overall, but among western, democratic nations it is truly dismal.

The way societies view women, and what career paths are openly encouraged, can tell you a lot about the state of things.
