If the Scandinavian countries were included, we would rank even lower.

1. i am not seeing the reason a lot of the countries beating the u.s. as far as pay gap

and number of women in universities, we have better.

now the health system beats.

i think we are lower than some of the other countries.

the only one to clearly beat, in my mind, was canada.
