Children from kindergardens with many male employees develop better language and mathematical skills

Aren't skills based on language mostly described as female, in that women are on average better in it than men, while men are described as on average better in math?

If so, very interesting.

Also, the article talks about a higher proportion of men, or many men. Do they mean that most employees are men, or is it something like "10 per cent is more than 5 per cent"?

The article is in danish but can be easily translated with google translate.

PDF of the original study. (in english)

We estimate effects of child care center staff composition on early child development. During the years our data covers, child care centers in Oslo were oversubscribed, and child care slots were allocated through a lottery. This allow us to explore how staff education, experience and stability, as well as proportion of male and immigrant staff, affect the cognitive development of children whose parents initially applied for the same center(s), but where children got offers from different institutions. We find that children who get their first offer of child care enrollment in a child care center with a higher share of male staff, perform better on tests in language and mathematics in the early years of school.

Obviously Sweden is wrong in many ways - but other nordic countries are leading the way for economic systems, quality of life for men and gender equality.

Of course they do. Men have better interactions with kids then women do or can have. Women are natural careers men are natural teachers.
