"Meet the latte papas" was the headline of the feature in the Sunday Times last week, written by Martin Daubney. A couple of Swedish fathers on parental leave ("the poster boys for gender equality") were interviewed, and the parental leave policies in Sweden were explained and compared with the UK.
Ann-Zofie Duvander stated that the political consensus to keep government funding of parental benefit is high:
"Mainly because it enhances gender equality and increases the workforce, as women don’t drop out when they become mothers.”
