Gender roles here are pretty weird frankly, I mean they are complete mix of both worlds. Women, in general, work and rarely become housewives for extended time period.
On the other hand they stay away of many of the professions. You'll almost never see any woman doing trade job or driving a bus. They dominate healthcare, teaching, office jobs and so on. And to be clear: it's purely their choice, they are of course free to choose any profession they like.
I'm always a little bit shocked when I see like women electrician in the US. :) Not because women can't do it (of course they can), but it's so rare thing where I live.
How are your salaries and taxes, in terms of women being able to stay at home?
I heard from a lady from Sweden, or one of those high-welfare countries that because taxes are so high, if they lived there it would be impossible to live on one salary. On paper, it looked nice with "free" healthcare, childcare, and lots of social programs, but it takes a lot of money to pay for all that, so the result was that most couldn't be a stay at home mom because after taxes there usually wasn't enough of dad's salary left to live on.
