Before introducing what is a high welfare state, we found that Europe's "high welfare" is a solid welfare policy, making Europe stand out in all aspects. So today we will talk about one of the most humane benefits in social welfare - the welfare of maternity and childcare.
Maternity leave in European countries
Maternity leave benefits allow parents to have more time to witness the birth of their children and accompany their children, which is an important embodiment of a country's humanistic care. European countries maternity leave that is really long enough! Maternity leave in France and Germany, up to 162 weeks, lasts more than three years, and can be said to be the highest maternity leave in the European Union. Maternity leave in Austria is also 2 years, Norway's maternity leave is about 90 weeks, Sweden is 85 weeks, the United Kingdom is 65 weeks, Ireland is 56 weeks, basically European countries have more than one year of maternity leave.
Eliminate widowhood parenting
Widowed parenting once became a hot topic on the Internet in China, and also reflected the needs of women to improve the distribution of childcare responsibilities. However, European countries have already given paternity leave and parental leave to fathers early, which is an important gift of life for the "new dads". From the data point of view, German and Austrian husbands enjoy 1-3 years of parental leave; Denmark 1 year of maternity leave, couples share the distribution, the husband is at least 2 weeks; the United Kingdom 52 weeks of parental leave, couples share; Irish husbands have 26 weeks of "father's leave"; Spain, Iceland give new fathers 4-5 months of paid leave; Swedish maternity leave of 65 weeks, couples share maternity leave, we talk about Denmark and Sweden in detail.
Danish welfare
Danish social welfare covers all persons residing in Denmark, regardless of whether you are a refugee from another country or not, regardless of nationality, as long as the person is within the territory of Denmark, he can enjoy the various benefits of the state. And Denmark implements free medical care for all, that is to say, all medical treatment is reimbursed, and even the cost of hospitalization is paid by the government. There are many living facilities in the ward, and if you are sick here, you can just come over, and you don't have to worry about the rest. From birth until the age of 18, the government will pay for his milk, and if it is a low-income family, the preschool government will also pay, and will also receive a certain monthly living allowance. School attendance is also free from elementary school to university, and if it is a private school, it will be partially reimbursed according to the tuition fee standard of the public school.
Swedish welfare
Husbands who give birth to children in Sweden are also entitled to nine months of full paid leave. Until the child reaches the age of 16, both the husband and wife can receive a certain amount of subsistence allowance. Sweden is compulsory for nine years, and universities are basically equivalent to free, because if you want to continue your education, you are also subsidized.
In Sweden, it is also up to the government to pay all the bills for medical treatment, examination and treatment, and I only need to pay the personal registration fee.
