About parental leave in Sweden Sweden was the first country in the world to introduce parental leave for both mothers and fathers in 1974. Today parents are offered 480 days of parental leave.
Parental leave means that women in Sweden don’t have to choose between a career and a family. For fathers, it means an opportunity to experience a closer bond with their children through shared responsibilities.
Most parental leave is still taken by mothers, but fathers are spending an increasing amount of time at home with their children. Men in Sweden now claim about 30 per cent of all parental leave taken. Progress, certainly, but there’s more work to do.
