Sweden has an exceptional work-life balance, prioritizing family support. Affordable nursery schools offer care for children as young as one, enabling parents to resume work post-parental leave. Tax-financed compulsory education from ages six to 19 often includes provided lunches. The Swedish Social Insurance Agency compensates parents with children under 12 for time off to care for sick children. This family-friendly environment has led Stockholm to be recognized as one of the world’s premier cities for employment.
