Paid parental leave for grand parents in Sweeden

 

Grand parents and single grand parent in Sweden have a reason to cheer. Sweeden has come up with a groundbreaking law which entails grandparents to take paid leave up to three months during the child's first one year after birth. Moreover, parent couple can transfer 30 days' leave while single parent can transfer 90 days' leave to the grand parents. This law comes 50 years after the Scandinavian country became the first in the world to offer paid parental leave to the father's and not just the mother's.
