Sweden/ Grandparents will be paid to support grandchildren

Swedish grandparents have the right to claim pay to support and care for their grandchildren, as the country famous for its pioneering childcare policy allows parents to transfer the right to paid parental leave to people beyond the child's immediate family.

Sweden's new law, which came into force on Monday, allows parents to transfer up to 90 days of their paid leave to other people in the case of single-parent families and 45 days in the case of a couple of parents. The grandparents consider this a "great idea".

It is not the first time that Sweden has pioneered social services. Swedish citizens pay some of the highest taxes in the world, but are compensated by the state providing them with medical care, free education up to higher education and generous unemployment benefits. The Nordic country, which has a population of over 10 million, also has the most generous parental leave laws in place, allowing a total of 480 days of paid leave for each child, which must be shared by both parents.

During the child's first year, parents can take 30 days of parental leave at the same time to care for their child together. Sweden's policy stands in stark contrast to that of the US and generally the few Western countries that do not provide for paid parental leave and paid maternity leave. And only federal employees in about a dozen US states are eligible for paid parental leave.

Research has shown that parental leave programs tend to make families healthier after the birth of a child and benefit both parents and children in the long run. The new policies adopted by Sweden will improve the balance between work and personal life and in particular for single-parent families with the ultimate benefit for the country.
