Norwegian government to establish committee for men to look at the equality challenges they face in society

The Norwegian Secretary of State has said the government will look at and take into account the challenges of boys in Norway, including:

- Norwegian boys do worse in school than girls (although this is the case in almost every country)

- Norwegian men make up only 40% of people getting a higher education

- Norwegian men are the minority in the fields of law and medicine

- Norwegian men commit suicide on a way larger scale than women

​

Their goal is to establish policies that'll aim to beat these challenges that men face.

Hopefully other countries will see this and follow in a similar fashion.
