“The state should not pay for people’s leave”
“Slutreplik from Kajsa Dovstad and Siri Steijer on parental leave”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“SLUITREPLIK. Åsa Forsell, jämställdhetspolitisk investigators on the TCO, and the journalist Susanne Nyman Furugård criticise our conclusions that the long Swedish parental leave will lead to staff shortages in the welfare system. “
“Forsell dismiss the calculations as ”simple” but will himself with the false claim that parental leave would increase women’s participation in the labour market. “
“In a previous Timbro report shows that the Swedish parental leave, on the contrary, is a kvinnofälla, because women lose human capital when they are gone a long time from the labour market. “
“Nyman Furugård mean in turn that we do not have the thought of child-friendly, which is directly misleading. Of course, people get to be at home as long as they want with their children, but the state should not pay people to be away from work longer than necessary. “
“Sweden, need less moralising in the debate on how long women need to be at home with their children. The Swedish parental leave of 480 days is twice as long as the Islands, and almost a half years longer than our neighbouring countries Denmark and Norway. Forsell and Nyman Furugård advocates an international extreme point. “
“in particular, is our report on how the parental leave is not only a very expensive kvinnofälla, but also creates staff shortages in the centre of välfärdsyrken. “
“To halve the parental leave would be able to solve the entire sjuksköterskebristen, and give thousands more a nanny on the nursery. It is paradoxical that the state with one hand, put large sums of money on welfare, and with the other gives those who work in these professions grants to be available for long periods. “
“Politics is about priorities, and there are other important reforms to make than to invest large sums of money on a long parental leave.”
