Which of the following is true about fathers in Sweden?
M: This year is the 30th anniversary of the Papa Leave which means the father’s arrival to take time off work caring for the baby and shopping for the family. Tonight, on our show, we have invited Mrs. Brown, a specialist in this field, to comment on papa leave in Sweden. Mrs. Brown, how long can fathers stay away from work and if they do take a leave, do they still get paid?
W: Actually, Scandinavia has long had generous parental leave. In Sweden , a couple can take up to 13 months off work between them with the stay paying 80% of lost wages up to a ceiling of 3425 dollars a month. A further 90 days can be taken for a token sum. The leave can be used in block or take in batches before the child is 8. It is notionally divided 50/50 but except for 2 months. It can be transferred between the parents.
M: Are fathers willing to take papa leave?
W: Many Swedish fathers are reluctant to use their papa month. Mothers take as much as 85% of all the parental leave. This frustrates feminists who believe that shared responsibility for childcare is a key to equality in the labor market. Sweden has one of the world’s highest rates of female participation in the labor force, but women’s wages still lag behind men’s and only 2 out of 282 listed companies have female chief executives.
M: How does the government look at this?
W: The government sympathizes. It is impressed by evidence that fathers who take more responsibility for small children are more likely to stay in contact. Shall the family break up? A commission is looking into ways to increase father’s take-up of parental leave. Some people want to scrap the transfer of leave between partners. They say only such a drastic measure can force men to take their responsibilities.
选项
A、High rates of female involvement.
B、Shared responsibility for childcare.
C、Higher wages for female employees.
