Today parents have the opportunity to stay home for 480 days after their child is born.
But an equal parental policy doesn't necessarily lead to equal parenting. Is it about sharing chores equally? Getting equal amounts of sleep? We asked some parents to share their thoughts on the matter.
What is equal parenting to you?
This video is based on the Swedish Institute exhibition 'Parenting – an equal opportunity' with photos by documentary photographer Elin Berge.
