In this episode, we look at Sweden's progressive family policies, which are renowned for promoting gender equality and supporting work-life balance. We'll look at the extensive parental leave system, which gives parents 480 days of shared paid leave, and how the 'daddy quota' ensures that fathers are actively involved in raising their children.
Our guest is Roger Klinth, President of Marie Cederschiöld University. As a historian specialising in Swedish family policy with a special focus on fatherhood, he knows all about Sweden's historical struggle for gender equality and how the political arguments were formulated for reforming both labour market and the family’s dynamics, with better conditions for both women and men.
