Attitudes to Gender Equality, Family, and Work as Determinants of Women’s and Men’s Parental Leave in Sweden (2014, background): “Within the Nordic countries, which demonstrate similar contexts and leave systems, similar patterns are visible, but men’s share of leave still varies substantially (Duvander & Lammi-Taskula, 2011; Lappegård, 2008).”
