Woman and Man Situation in Different Cultures

This is still uncommon. While people are not against such a situation, most men would not want to be in this particular type of situation. The man would have to be very comfortable with this type of arrangement.

I think this could be more accepted the greater this persons role in society is. No one would blame a minister of neglecting her family for her career, when her husband have a more ordinary role. The mistrust is greater the closer the two spouses are economally. For instance, if a man makes 2000 euro and the woman 2500 euro, she would still be expected to take the greater responsability for family, child care and probably more expected to stay longer home from work with a baby (which would lesser her career opportunities). Opposite, a girl friend of mine, who has a job with about 2100 euro, are together with a man who's studying (making less than half her salary). No one I've heard of has made any complaints of him making more house-labour, and her paying more bills, since the difference is so great.

Don,t know

Society loves it. There is nothing better for a man then to be able to live his life knowing that the wife will take care of the economy, allowing him to spend his time in leisure at home.

your question already answers it - such model is considered to be substandard.

No,a woman financially not keeping a family.

THE ATTITUDE IS THAT A WOMAN CANNOT BALANCE BOTH WORLDS; ONE WILL SUFFER. HENCE, SHE IS EXPECTED TO LEAVE WORK AFTER A TIME. ONLY IN UNFORTUNATE SITUATIONS, WILL A WOMAN BE SUPPORTING THE FAMILY FINANCIALLY

I don't understand the term "substandard family model". What would be the standard family-model in Sweden? However, I don't think the society in general have any concerns with a woman providing her family.

It´s a bit sorry for her and wonders why the man is absent.

Is that really necessarily "substandard"? If the woman's and man's combined salaries are a high amount it doesn't matter which of the two earns the most money, they may still exceed the national standard of living. In swedish society it is considered important that all adult members of the family contribute with productive work, but it doesn't matter much if the woman's salary is higher than the man's. If the man does nothing to bring money to the family that will be considered bad behavior.
