Swedish women generally have a smaller gender pay gap (earn closer to men) than American women do, so the statement claiming Swedish women earn slightly less than American women (relative to men's salaries in the same profession) is false. The other statements are essentially correct (Sweden has strong antidiscrimination laws; about 480 days ≈ 16 months of paid parental leave; and women are about half of parliament and hold a large share of government management posts).
