Sweden is getting worse with trains, just today I was looking into possibility to get to northern Finland without flying. It takes 22-24 hours and five train changes. Also SJ raised the prices of the northbound night trains so much that flying is almost always significantly cheaper

We show a positive association between establishment size and the employment of women and minors. Mechanization seems to only impact their employment through establishment size. Industry-specific factors also played an important role, as some industries had a long history of being female-intensive.
