home care assistance is the Finnish family policy the best and the most terrible thing.
Therefore, it is praised and cursed the election period to another.
home care aid is paid, if a family has less than 3-year-old child, who is not in municipal day care. Support is also paid for other family children under school-age children, who are under three years of age, alongside are cared for at home.
the system is so generous that many middle-income parents stay home with children to take care of 5-6 years. This is what happens when children’s worth of treatment at home three years after that was already the second child.
the Policy speech of the old classics and the reel of the official languages is spoken of the parents, but in practice it is about mothers.
the coil of the statistics reveal that a home care aid season begins in less than four percent (of 3.87 %) home usages of the parents are fathers.

parental money payment ends when the child is about nine months old. In 2015, the parental allowance period ended 56 962.
home care aid began after this pay 47 536 family. Home care support is a popular social benefit in all groups: 83% of families grabbed in 2015 the possibility.

The statistical information applies to those 47 536 family, who began to support to take advantage of during 2015. In other words, less than nine per cent of the support to the users of the families the father was even a period home care supported child care.
day care payment increase for home care support the attractiveness of
Statistics can’t be bought and the truth of change: home care support is distinctively the mother of social security benefits, even if it does not benefit form in no way affiliated with sex.
home care support not on paper seem the princely large. It’s partially a hallucination. Support becomes surprisingly large, when the family of the economic equation is taken into account, that the second option in the family get to pay hundreds of euros monthly day care payments.
One children under three years of child support to pay 338 million and in each of the following for children under three years of 101 euros. Three years of under school-aged children in the family get home care allowance eur 65 per.
income-tested care supplement is a maximum of eur 181 per month.
If your home on paid home care aid board additional to, the compensation of the child or children to care for at home to grow quite large. Support is taxable income, but in practice the parent earnings remain so small, that taxation is too big a slice to cut.
home care aid generate revenues, however, are that much high that a small or medium paying job is not very tempting. Wage and salary income eat the tax and the above-mentioned day care payments.
Thus was born the incentive trap, which is one key reason why the employment rate of women is in Finland considerably lower than that of men. Children who received the female employment rate in Finland is lower than next door in Sweden.
party leaders are screaming race against the family leave reform
family leave reform!
The implementation keeps saying so, prime minister Juha Sipilä (kesk.), finance minister Petteri Orphan (ioc.) as the leader of the opposition Antti Rinne (sd.), the Pekka Haavisto (gr.) and Li Andersson (left,).
the parliamentary election debates, they and other party leaders present if some sort of family-free model. Part of the politicians wants to quotas home care support separately for mothers and fathers. A lot of talk has been heard from the so-called 6+6+6-model, where both parents would receive parental allowance period-end to itself the right to six months of treatment free. The third half year period, the user’s family could choose freely.
Part of the politicians speaks beautifully to the family of the right to freely choose which parent to care for children under three years of age children at home, if this is not desired to put the day treatment. Freedom of choice stressed, inter alia, the centre, the christian democrats and the blue.
it’s a nice thing, but the family of choice is valid already now.
If it be adhered to, small children will continue to perform at home moms.
If the politicians instead want to align the mothers and fathers to employment participation in any noticeable differences, they kiintiöivät part of home care support from the fathers. Anyone’s dad would still not be forced to care for their child at home, but in the case of the family the right home care support would be a duration significantly shorter than it is now.
Support isäkiintiö would force the men to make value selections
the quota consumption the advantage would be it, then, that small children in home care as a value in favour of fathers they had to make the mirror in front of the personal choices and values. Now they are very easy to support the children’s home to care for, as long as it corresponds to the mother. Few in the family between parents income is so high that both parents could be the child at home.
a child policy for the hottest perverse incentives disassembly will require politicians of courage. Without it society rarely happen for major changes.
