Iceland had the highest employment-to-population ratio among women over 15 years of age in the Nordic countries between 2012 and 2022. In 2022, more than two thirds of the country's female population was employed. Sweden had the second highest ratio until 2020, but its ratio dropped below Norway's in 2021. On the other hand, Finland had the lowest, with only slightly more than half of the female population in employment. Norway's ratio dropped significantly in 2014 after the fall of the oil price, on which the country's economy rely.
