Goals of the Family Policy Good economic living conditions for all families Facilitate the combination of family and work Done by: Work life regulations Child care facilities Parental leave insurance

Labour Market Regulations Right to long exit with parental leave Right to reduce work hours to 75% Right to temporary leave with sick children Women right to 7 weeks before delivery

Swedish day care Pedagogic activity Assistance for working parents Guaranteeing social conditions for children in marginalized groups Expansion mainly in s Goal: All children should be offered place

Participation in day care in the 2000s 50 % of all children aged 1 91 % of all children aged 2 95 % of all children aged 3 98 % of all children aged 4

Parental Insurance Introduced 1974 Pregnancy Benefit Parental Leave Benefit Temporary Parental Benefit Goals: Gender equality Combine family and working life Emphasize shared responsibility of child raising

Parental Benefit 240 days for each parent – 480 per child 60 days non-transferable 390 days income related, 80% 90 days flat rate Time frame: 8 years Flexibility – full / part time

Fathers’ share of parental leave use

New reforms 1st of July 2008 Gender Equality Bonus Child Home Care Allowance …so far we have seen no effect of the Bonus and no studies on effects of the Child Home Care Allowance

Other benefits Child allowance Care allowance Housing allowance Maintenance support

What do we know about connection family policy and fertility? For example… Father’s parental leave is associated with continued childbearing Women (and men) with high income and stable labour market situation have higher propensity of childbearing Child care characteristics do not seem to influence childbearing

Challenge for the future Increasing diversity in population, labour market and policy usage Adapt the insurance to different usage?

Thank you for listening!
