On a job application site for my local government it reveals if a specific social security has been used or not on that site. The site is very outdated.

    Here in Sweden the personal number starts with your birthday, then a serial number and finally a checksum that also indicates your gender.

    If you have an even checksum digit, that indicates that you are a woman, if you have an odd checksum digit, that indicates that you are a man.

    Here you can find more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_identity_number_(Sweden)

      Looks similar to Belgium.

      Here it starts with your birth date, a serial number that specifies your gender (even for women, uneven for men) and a checksum.
