Second on US News’ list of the best countries for women is Sweden, which is reported to have the most “progressive attitudes towards gender equality”, according to a YouGov poll. Canada, which came second on the World’s Top Countries list, is the named as the third best country for women to live in.

The Netherlands came in fourth place, followed by New Zealand, Germany, United Kingdom, Luxembourg and Austria.
