Sweden has one of the most generous parental models in the world. Swedes get more than double the amount of what a parent receives in the UK.
In Sweden, parents are given 68 weeks of leave per child, paid at a rate of 80% of your salary or with a capped limit of £588 a week.
I think the Swedish model is good because it’s quite equal. It doesn’t matter if you’re the father or the mother.
Thanks to a state subsidy, the bill for childcare in Sweden is greatly reduced. Low-income families pay nothing while more prosperous families pay a max of £119 a month.
But before you move to Sweden and get pregnant, it’s important to remember that everything comes at a cost, and the Swedes pay more in tax. But what do you think? Would you be willing to pay more tax for better parental leave?
瑞典是世界上家长福利模型最慷慨的国家之一。瑞典家长们的收入是英国家长们的两倍多。
在瑞典,每生一个孩子,父母们会有68周的假日,工资按80%来发,或每周最高有588 英镑的补助。
我觉得瑞典模式很好,因为这很平等,无论你是爸爸还是妈妈都没关系。
由于国家的补贴,瑞典的儿童托管费大大减少。低收入家庭不支付任何费用,而富裕家庭最多每个月支付119英镑。
但是在你移民到瑞典,并怀孕之前,重要的是要明白任何事情都是有代价的,瑞典人要缴纳更多的税。那你怎么看?你愿意为更好的产假而缴纳更多的税吗?
