During my research i found that both the U.S and Sweden have similar gender equality
and rules relating to employment, education, military, voting, and politics. Also, i found a similar
pattern with women having higher education rate, along with a high employment rate in both
areas. Both countries have similar voting laws regarding the requirements for a person to vote in
their country. In Sweden, you must be a Swedish citizen, You must be 18 years old, and you
must be registered as a Swedish citizen. In the U.S, you must be a U.S citizen, you must be 18
years old, and you must be a U.S citizen. Both areas are mirrored images to each other when it
comes to gender equality.
