Sweden enacts law enabling grandparents to receive paid parental leave for grandchildren's care, expanding its social welfare system.
Sweden passes groundbreaking law allowing grandparents to receive paid parental leave to care for their grandchildren during the child's first year, expanding its comprehensive social welfare system. Parents can transfer some of their generous parental leave allowances to grandparents, offering up to 45 days for parent couples and 90 days for single parents. This move reinforces Sweden's dedication to supporting families, contrasting the U.S.'s lack of a national paid maternity leave policy and limited family leave benefits.
