A fundamental idea embraced today in Sweden is that one must aim for change which emancipates men as well as women from the restrictive effects engendered by the traditional sex‐roles — culturally conditioned expectations on an individual on account of sex. Implications and consequences of changes which may evolve are considered and an example of taxation reform recently instituted in Sweden is presented.
