Childcare Provision + Establishment + Family Friendly Policies + Flexible Working + Forum Report +

There's more to creating a good work-life balance than taking the occasional morning off to take your child to the GP. An example of generous parental leave is Sweden, where all working parents are entitled to 18 months' paid leave per child, the cost being shared between employer and State. To encourage greater paternal involvement in child-rearing, a minimum of 3 months out of the 18 is required to be used by the "minority" parent, in practice usually the father, and some Swedish political parties on the Left argue for legislation to oblige families to divide the 18 months equally between both parents. Norway also has a similarly generous leave.
