Sweden has introduced a groundbreaking new law allowing grandparents to receive paid parental leave to care for their grandchildren for up to three months within the child's first year. This new law comes 50 years after Sweden became the first country to offer paid parental leave for fathers, marking another milestone in their progressive social welfare system. The law allows parents to transfer some of their parental leave days to grandparents, with a parent couple able to transfer up to 45 days and a single parent up to 90 days. This move highlights the stark contrast with the United States, which lacks a national paid maternity leave policy.
