Why do young people still make educational choices based on traditional gender roles? And what measures can be done to promote a greater gender balance in employment and education? These questions will be discussed at a Nordic seminar in New York on March 13th.

The seminar addresses the range of different challenges and obstacles for gender equality that still remain in the Nordic countries within education and employment.
