The Nordic countries are generally known to be a strong force in the promotion of gender equality in comparison with non-Nordic countries. Although there are a number of arguments regarding the Nordic gender regimes, there is still very little understanding about the features of gender regimes of the Nordic countries and existing political measures targeting the gender regime. Drawing on a literature review of articles in scientific publications, this paper presents characteristics of Nordic gender regimes and important measures in Nordic gender equality politics. It is revealed that state involvement is a key factor of the Nordic gender regime. Important measures in Nordic gender equality politics are discussed.
