Detailed Solution

Sweden, Finland, and Norway are the countries where the participation of women in public life is very high. Each country mentioned has a very high number of women participating in public spheres of life.
Due to the sexual division of labour, women's work is undervalued in public and private spheres. Women's participation in public life has improved owing to the political expression of gender inequality and political mobilisation. Previously unsuitable professions for women, such as science, medicine, engineering, law, management, and higher education teaching, are now occupied by women. Female participation in public life is exceptionally high in various world regions, such as Scandinavian nations like Sweden, Norway, and Finland. One thing you will notice about these countries is that all of these countries are nordic countries; in nordic culture, in most cases, women are treated equally to men. This cultural factor plays a huge role in gender equality in these countries.
