Recommendation

Iceland has a lot to teach the rest of the world, says international best-selling author Eliza Reid – a Canadian-born writer, journalist and Iceland’s First Lady. The nation leads the world in closing the gender gap, thanks to the individual and collective actions of its citizens, including Icelandic women, known as the “Sprakkar.” Through initiatives such as developing social safety nets for new parents and creating support networks for women in their communities and workplaces, Icelanders demonstrate that gender equality benefits all people and society as a whole. 

Take-Aways

  • Iceland leads the way in closing the gender gap worldwide.
  • The country subsidizes parents and families, benefiting society as a whole.
  • The Sprakkar draw succor from robust social networks and hobbies.
