Evidence snapshot for Sweden
Sweden has implemented several evidence-based policies to advance gender equality and child protection. Reserved 'daddy months' in parental insurance increased father participation in parental leave to 82% by 2023, cutting the share of non-participating fathers by 27 percentage points at introduction. Mandatory annual pay equity surveys have helped sustain a gender pay gap of 11.2%, below the EU average of 12.7%. Multidisciplinary Barnahus centres co-locating police, prosecutors and child psychiatry have achieved conviction rates 20–45% higher than jurisdictions without the model, which has been replicated across the Nordic region.
