[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on what you want and what your education level is. For a highly educated person, you can probably get more here and negotiate a better salary and work life balance. If you are sort of mediocre in terms of skills, then sweden is probably better. [/quote] Ha! The best you can get in the US is about 6 months maternity leave. That’s the minimum you get in Sweden. A highly skilled professional is much much better off in Sweden than the US. [/quote] I can make way more here--enough that I can take off a long time from work with and[b] without pay [/b]and still be better off than in Sweden.[/quote] Good for you! However, judging by the much higher female participation rate in the Swedish economy, that’s not what happens for most people. I don’t understand why it’s hard to understand that more women would stay in the workforce if they had access to paid leave. [/quote]
