Equality index in Sweden 2006-2022

After having fallen constantly from 2007 to 2020, the Swedish equality index increased for the first time in 2021, but only by 0.3 points, reaching 69. The index displays the female share of the parents who were receiving different kinds of parental benefits due to staying at home with their children. An index close to 50 would suggest that women and men obtain parental benefits equally often in order to stay at home with their children. An index lower than 50 would suggest that men get parental benefits and stay at home more often than women.

Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information:

The TCO Equality Index illustrates how the parental benefit gap is distributed among the genders. Index shows the proportion of parental benefit days taken by women. We have combined the two different types of parental allowance, temporary maternity allowance for sick child care (VAB) and the usual type of parental allowance, which is largely taken out before the child begins to pre-school (parental leave).

The closer the value is to 100, the closer it is that women take out all leave for childcare. An index of 50 shows a completely equal outlet and an index of less than 50 means men take more than women.
