To this end, Guo and Xiao analyzed in depth the similarities and differences in gender equality policies in China and Sweden. They found that although both nations recognize the importance of creating a society in which men and women are considered equal, they have considerable differences in their means of achieving this goal. Perhaps the largest and most widespread variation is Sweden's emphasis on gender equality not only in the world of work but in family policies, where a "dual-earner, dual-caregiver model is promoted” (232). Due to the emphasis on economic development in China, family policy has been largely ignored in favor of policies promoting gender equality in the labor market. The consequence of this was “a double workload imposed by the state on women” (235). Of course, this seems fundamentally unfair to some audiences, although it is important to remember that China and Sweden have “different perceptions of gender equality” (238). Finally, Guo and Xiao argue that for China to truly become a society in which gender equality is the norm, policies surrounding family planning, child care, maternity leave and more must transcend traditional beliefs and attitudes towards gender.
