Politics. The so-called family week is three days per parent and year or six days for a single parent. This was announced by Prime Minister Stefan Löfven at a press conference today.

Everyone who has children between the ages of four and sixteen will be covered by the family week.

– The family week is proposed to take effect on April 4, 2022, Löfven said at the press conference.

Kommunal's chairman Tobias Baudin, who also attended the press conference, praised the Social Democratic proposal.

– This is a real step towards a fully developed family week.

The investment in a family week has been criticized, however, not least from the right. Some believe that it is unfair that those who have children should have more days off than those who do not have children.

The lobby organization Företagarna has always been against the proposal. Not least because many of Sweden's entrepreneurs do not have the opportunity to take time off to have “family week”.

– Half a million Swedes today run companies. They are forced to choose between their family and their company. If the government and the support parties really want to do something for working people who have difficulty getting the puzzle of life together, this is where the resources should be invested, Företagarna's social insurance expert Erik Ageberg has previously said.
