Well,
Believe me there is no requirement for people to work outside the home in Sweden or in any other Nordic state. Also women tend to work and well - it is partly economic question - people like luxuries, but there is much more in it than that.
Sweden is often thought as relatively equal state, not only between people of different social classes, but also between the different sexes. Many modern women like to work and they also work partly to be equal with men and to be independent from men. Also, because the school system and the luxuries of the modern world, there isn't that much *work* in todays homes. I could also blame the educational system. People, who have been highly educated with the tax-payers' money, might well have professional ambitions or think the work as a responsibility
And BTW. Where have you got this idea from?
