Chapter 10 · Sweden's modern history
En småbarnsmamma vill börja arbeta under 1960-talet. Vilken samhällsförändring gjorde det lättare att kombinera arbete och barn?
A mother of young children wants to start work in the 1960s. What social change helped combine work and childcare?
Correct answer: More childcare places
Childcare centres cared for children while parents worked. Their expansion helped more women take paid work outside the home. Pay differences between women and men also narrowed during this period.
