The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.

Fifty percent of them were female.

How can it be that societies like Sweden,where gender equality is vigorously pursued and enforced,have fewer female managers,executives,professionals,and business owners than eh laissez-faire(自由放任的)united states?

Swedish economists Magnus Henrekson and Mikael Stenkula addressed the following question in their 2009study:why are there so few female top executives in the European egalitarian(平等主義的)welfare states

The Swedes can certainly take a lesson from the United States and look for ways to clear a path for their ambitious female careerists.
