Daniel Francis, a charity consultant, relocated to Stockholm from the UK in 2022, embracing the family-friendly aspects of Swedish lifestyle. He finds Sweden’s social welfare system beneficial, especially for new parents, highlighting the accessibility of subsidized childcare and generous parental leave policies. With the arrival of his daughter shortly after moving, Francis has particularly appreciated the bonding time enabled by Sweden’s 480 days of paid leave. Additionally, he is captivated by Sweden’s natural beauty, despite facing challenges with limited daylight during winter months.
Sweden is known for its extensive welfare system - and I'd say it certainly lives up to the hype, especially as a parent.
Becoming a first-time parent in Sweden is wonderful because the system feels designed for parents to succeed.
Sweden's flexible parental leave policies also provide 480 days of paid leave (about 240 days per parent) when a child is born or adopted.
One of the biggest draws is Sweden's raw natural beauty - pristine forests, dramatic mountains, and wild skies.
